 Ireland. 



Obs. — M. sylvestris (Linn.) is supposed to havebeen f oundnear 

 Carrigaline, Cork (Drummond). Near the pond at Dodges- 

 elen (Mr. J. SuUivan) ; and in ditches by the way-side near 

 Erosstrevor, Down (Flor. Hib). The Rev. S. Madden also has 

 a memorandum that he found it at Valentia, Kerry ; but we 

 fear that M. rotundifoUa has been gathered in these localities. 

 Specimens collected at Carrigaline by Mr. Drummond, and 

 since by Mr. Carroll, belong to M. rotundifolia.
