the usual name, T)neimine mtn^e (The Virgin Mary's Ladder), current

 peitleoj ]?aoi qtMin, Sinew round the Tree ? Lonicera Periclymenum Linne, 



Woodbine. — Clare Island. Precisely the same form is used in Clare- 

 morris and in Galway ; but the name is very frequently shortened to 



"Peicteog, in which form I found it in Inisheer, S. Isles of Aran. The 



name is very probably derived from V e1 ^, a withe or sinew, in allusion to 



the nature of the twining stems.

 "PeAni&inn -oub, Black Fammin. Fucus vesiculosus Linne, Bladder Wrack. — 



Clare Island, Achill Sound, Binvyle, &c. The names jre6.mA.1nn buroe

 plants. Fucus vesiculosus, yellow in the fruiting season, turns black when 



wilted. See bolgAii, wrack.
