Lu%ula campestris (D. C.) — Again at 2850 feet, Cumloughra; not un- 



frequent. 

 Carex pilulifera (Linn.) — And at 2350 feet, Cumlouglira ; 800 feet in 



Cummeenacappul ; not common. 

 Nardus stricta (Linn.) — Occurs also at 2690 feet on S.-"W. side of 



Carran Tuohill ; common below that. 



Caeean Tuohixl (Noeth Side). 

 3100 feet. 



CocMearia officinalis (Linn.) — Yar. alpina ; in gullies above Cummeen- 

 oughter ; lower limit at Cumlouglira Lake level, 1550 feet. 



Air a ccespitosa (Linn.) — var. mvipara ; A. alpina (Linn.) — TMs form is 

 well marked at the present height and all around the cliffs at about 

 2700 to 2800 feet above Cummeenoughter to Beenkeragh ; at the 

 level of the Devil's "Looking-glass" (2360 feet) it is found in an 

 intermediate stage, and, travelling still downwards, we find normal 

 A. ccespitosa immediately below by the shores of Lough Gouragh, 

 at 1150 feet. In A. G. More's "Eecent Additions to the Flora of 

 Ireland" he records A. ccespitosa, "which, except that the florets 

 are not viviparous, Dr. Syme considers indistinguishable from 

 the Scottish A. alpina; grows near the summit of Carn Tual." 

 I found it commonly viviparous, and constantly so at its upper 

 limit. Mr. Baker refers to it A ccespitosa, var. vivipara. It 

 is, no doubt, identical with the Scotch plant.

 Zuzula multiflora (Lej.) — Common downwards.

Salix herhacea (Lmn.) — At 3000 feet on the north side of Caher; 

 plentiful on the cliffs between Caher and Cumloughra, from^ 

 2700 to 2350 feet, below which I did not meet with it. Frequent 

 along the ridge between Cummeenapeasta and Curraghmore lakes, 

 and on Carran Tuohill at the northern side. 



Lycopodium Selago (Linn.) — Frequent to about 2300 feet ; lower limit
