A form with unusually broad and fleshy leaves is said to 

 grow wild on the western shores of Ireland, and is often 

 cultivated under the name of " Irish Ivy.'' Whether this be 

 the true " H. Ganariensii' we have not been able to determine, 

 but it has eight rays to its scales, and is very unlike the Ivy 

 here given under the name of " Hodgensii." Another variety, 

 with the upper leaves deeply cut, and rarely 1 2 to 1 5-rayed 

 scales on the stems of the panicle, occurs on walls at Merrion, 

 and in the Phcenix Park, Dublin.
