Ohs. — S. Ehrharti (Stev.) is included in the " Flora of 

 Ulster" as having been found by Dr. Mateer in the bog 

 meadows at Belfast, and by Mr. Thompson at the river-side 

 between Edenderry and Purdysburn ; but Dr. Dickie informs 

 us that he has not seen any Irish specimens. 



*S'. Scorodonia (Linn.) is recorded in Smith's " KeiTy" as 

 growing on the sea coast near the Magherie Islands in 

 Tralee Bay. This is, we believe, the only authority for its 

 occurrence in Ireland, and the locality has not been verified 

 by recent observation. 



Obs. LimoseUa aquatica (Linn.) was supposed to have been 

 found in Connemara ; Wade Bar. ; but has not come under 

 the notice of any other botanist.
