290 ' OECHiDACE^. [Malaxis 



obtained near Shane's Castle, and preserved in the Antrim 

 Herbarium, is abnormal and unsatisfactory, but has the 

 narrow bracts of C. endfolia, though its leaves are much 

 broader than usual. C. endfolia is reported, also, from the 

 county of Down {Fkr. Hist, App."), a likely locality. 



Obs. — C. grandijlora (Bab.) is included in the " Flora of 

 Cork " (on the authority of Dr. Hincks) as having been found 

 in the woods of GrlengarifE ; but here, as in Antrim, we fear 

 that a broad-leaved form of C. ensifolia has been mistaken 

 for G. grandijlora.
