Ohs. — R. pahistris (Sm.) is recorded as having been found 

 in a marsh near Clay Castle, Youghal {Machay Gat. Ir.), and 

 in bogs near Ballycotton (Flor. Cork.) In marshes within 

 reach of the sea at Howth {Wade Bar.) At Lough Beg, 

 Portmore ; bog meadows near Belfast ; and Bann at Port- 

 glenone {Flor Ulst.), but there is reason to believe that some 

 other species has been mistaken for it in all these localities. 

 It certainly does not grow in Derry (D. M.) Mr. D. Orr has 

 shown to us a specimen oi JR. paiiistris, of which he once found 

 a single root growing by the side of the canal, near Black- 

 weir's-bridge, by the Broadstone Terminus, Dublin ; but this 

 is a locality open to suspicion, and the seed is as likely to 

 have been introduced by the canal traffic, as to have been 

 floated down from some native locality along the course of 

 the canal.
