* P. domestka (Linn.): — " Wild Plum. " 

 Is recorded as found near Cork, where it is not supposed 

 to be indigenous. A. tree, larger than the ordinary wild form 

 of Bullace, has also been noticed by D. M. in the counties of 

 Antrim and Derry ; buls the true P. domestica (Linn.), with 

 oblong fruit, has not, been seen wild in Ireland. It seems 

 probable that the Plum figuied in English botany (tab. 1783) 

 under the name of "P. tfomesiica," corresponds with the P. 

 insititia of continental botanists. Our ordinary wild BuUace 

 is apparently the P. Jrutwans of Grenier and Godiron ; but 

 the various forms with round fruit seem scarcely entitled to 

 rank even as sub-species.
