Hart — On the Flora of South - West Donegal. 455 



G. lucidum, Linn. Sparingly at St. John's Point ; hy the Erne, 

 about a quarter of a mile above Ballyshannon, on the left bank 

 sparingly ; in a thicket below the house at " Cliif," on the right 

 bank near Belleek. On limestone. 



'^"G. pratense, Linn. In a meadow by the river at Temple Carn Grlebe, 

 near Pettigo. I am indebted to Miss Young for this information, 

 but she thinks the plant may have been introduced accidentally 

 from the Glebe garden. 



Radiola millegrana, Sm. Coast at Port, near Tormore; at Glen Head; 

 and at the Eagle's ISTest, near Malinmore. 



Euonymus europcBus, Linn. Pooney's island, near Donegal; coast a mile 

 west of Ballyshannon ; by the Erne ; near " Cliff," Ballyshannon; 

 Lake Gorman ; steep banks above the sea near Inver ; near Salt- 

 hill ; Doorin Point ; bank of Bundrowes river ; plentiful at St. 

 John's Point, and in thickets by the Letter river, where it reaches 

 a height of ten to fifteen feet. On limestone. 



Rhamnus catharticus, Linn. Kear Temple Carn Glebe ; Miss Toung. 



Ulex eivropcBus, Linn. East side of Eintragh Bay ; in several places 

 along the Einn river, above Cloghaun bridge. The only native 

 stations I observed ; but it would be impossible to decide for or 

 against this plant being indigenous. Not on the limestone. 



Trifoliimi 7nednim, Linn. Banks of rivers and limestone bluffs by 

 the sea, in many places, and often, as at Mucross and St. John's 

 Point, highly ornamental ; prefers limestone. 



Lotus major, Scop. Bather a common species in this district. 



Vicia sylvatica, Linn. This handsome vetch is quite characteristic of 

 Donegal Bay. It occurs at Mucross Point, with maidenhair fern, 

 and Sedum rliodiola ; abundantly at Inver, on steep banks above 

 the sea near the mouth of the estuary with Euonymus ; coast 

 between Killybegs and Eintragh in several places ; Eintragh Bay 

 and thence to Largy ; between Donegal and Killymard Bectory 

 by the sea. 



Primus padus, Linn. Sparingly in Ardnamona woods ; abundant by 

 the river Einn, in many places from Lifford to the Peelan water, 

 as at Drumbo, and below Cloghaun bridge ; forming thickets 

 along the Peelan water in some places, and occurring also in the 

 upper reaches of the Einn. 

 \Prunus avium, Linn. Roadsides and hedges about Pettigo, Killy- 

 begs, Dunkineely, and Donegal; probably nowhere native. F. 

 cerasus, Linn, also occurs in a half wild state. 



^Spircea salicifolia, Linn. A colony of about fifteen yards in length, 

 growdng on the edge of the Einn water, occurs on its left 

 bank, about a quarter of a mile above Castlefinn bridge, looking 

 thoi'oughly native, but probably transported thither long since by 

 the river.
