 same station, but has not been found recently). — 4. ? In

 recorded inadvertently for S. si/lvaticus). — 5. " In arenosis

Is plentiful and thoroughly naturalized on walls and roofs 

 of houses in and about Cork; and Mr. Carroll describes 

 it as increasing and well established at Kinsale and Bandon 

 also, but it does not appear to have spread to wild-looking 

 localities. Professor Murphy believed that it had escaped 

 from the old Botanic Garden at Cork. It was not known 

 as wild to Mr. J. Drummond in 1820. Mr. Carroll has sent 

 to us, from Cork, a Senecio allied to S. squalidus, but with 

 much smaller flowers ; it may be a hybrid.
