and Lycopocliiim alpimim, wliich Mr. More informs me lie has gathered 

 upon the Eeeks, but which I failed to notice. 



Considering the extent of elevated cliffs, the above is a poor alpine 

 flora. The northern or Scottish type plants are, considering the lati- 

 tude, at least as well represented ; these are : — 



Suhularia aquatica. Empetrum nigrum. 



Saxifraga liirta. Carex limosa. 



A^itennaria clioica. 

 Lobelia Bortmanna. 



As might be expected, from the western situation, several of "Wat- 

 son's Atlantic type plants find their way up the slopes of the Reeks, 



as — 



Sedum anglicum. Pinguicula lusitanica. 



Cotyledon umlilicus. Euphorhia hyherna. 



Carum verticillatum. Scirpus savii. 



Bartsia viscosa. Hymenophyllum tunbridgense. 



H. Wilsoni. 



The undermentioned species are peculiarly interesting as not 

 being native in Great Britain : — 



Saxifraga geum. \ Pinguicula grandiflora. 



S. umirosa. > Trichomanes radicans. 



S. Mrsuta. 

 Arlutus TJnedo, 



The following are rare plants in Kerry, for which I discovered new 

 localities on the Eeeks : — 



Thalictrum minus. Sieracium anglicum. 



Sulularia aguatica. Pmpdrum nigrum. 



Elatine liexandra. Salix herlacea. 



Filago minima. Malaxis paludosa. 



Antennaria dioica. Sparganium natans. 



Carex limosa. 

 Polystichum Lonchitis. 



As these are the highest mountains in Ireland, I recorded the 

 ranges of plants with much care, and repeated corroboratory checks. 

 I mention this lest it be thought my notice of altitudes is given too 

 profusely. 



Further, I purposely refrain from making any general statements 

 with regard to mountain botany, or remarks of comparison with other 

 Irish ranges, until better enabled to do so by a more complete ex- 

 perience. 



I wish here to make a remark upon the saxifrages : Having 

 submitted a series to Mr, Baker, of Kew, he refers all the 8.
