In The Phytohgist (N.S., Vol. ii., p. 24), the Eev. W. M. 

 Hind has recorded his finding Viola stagnina in ■ the Gap of 

 Dunloe, Killarney. We have not seen his specimens, but 

 we suppose this is the same Violet as that found on the 

 mountains of Brandon, Castletown, and Bantry, and which, 

 for the present, we have placed under V, cardna (see Fhr. 

 Hib., p. 32).
