Hart — Plants of some of the Mountain Ranges of Ireland. 225 



My observations, in addition to those of previous observers, -would 

 place the flora of this district at 510 species, which is just equal to 

 that of Innishowen, a peninsula of about the same size in Donegal.^ 

 I am not now proposing to enumerate all the species observed in a 

 limited visit like the present; but with a view to bringing out the salient 

 points, I will briefly analyse the flora into its groups as given by 

 "Watson : — 



The alpine plants of Brandon (for the rest of the peninsula adds 

 none) are — 



Alchemilla alpina, Oxyria reniformis, 



Sedum rhodiola, Salix herbacea, 



Saxifraga stellaris, Juniperus nana, 



S. hirta et vars, Carex rigida, 



Saussurea alpina, Polystichum lonchitis, 



Hieracium anglicum, Asplenium viride, 



Polygonum viviparum, Isoetes lacustris ; 



four more than I gathered on the Eeeks in 1881. A few of these 

 cannot be correctly termed alpine in Ireland.
