Gekaniace^. 



Geranium sangiiineum (Linn.) — On south and west side of island ; 



north of Eaven's Well. 

 G. molle (Linn.) — Frequent. 

 G. pusillum (Linn.) — I discovered a considerable quantity of this 



plant, one of the rarest in Ireland, at the south-west corner of 



the large field north of the castle. 

 G. dissecUim (Linn.) — Freqiient by the coast to the south of the 



harbour and elsewhere. 

 G. rolertianum (Linn.) — In stony places behind the castle, sparingly. 

 Erodmm cicutarium (Herit.) — Frequent. 

 -£*. mariUmum (Sni.) — Especially abundant about the rabbit-warren 



at the south of the island ; it forms a green sward frequently 



round the rabbit- holes, and appears to be the only plant permitted 



to do so. Frequent all round Lambay, except on the northern 



face, where it seems hardly able to exist. 

 Oxalis acetoseUa (Linn.) — Sparingly in shady ground near the castle. 



Leguminos^. 



^Ulex euro2)(Biis (L.) — Introduced for fencing purposes, about twenty- 

 five years ago. It has spread to wild stations on the eastern side, 

 and about Raven's Rock. 



Anthyllis vulneraria (Linn.) — Frequent. 

 XMedicago lupulina (Linn.) — By a cottage, and on the borders of the 

 large field north of the cagtle. 



TrifoUum pratense (Linn.) — Common, and I believe native on grassy 

 banks by the sea. 



T. arvense (Linn.) — Along the shore from the harbour to Scotch 

 Point, and along the north side of the island in several places ; 

 not common. 



T. striatimi (Linn.) — Plentiful in pasturage above the harbour and 

 along the shore to Scotch Point ; east of the castle above a cot- 

 tage and by the shore a little south of harbour beyond the Coast- 

 guard Station. In the " Flora Hibernica" Trifolium maritimum is 

 said to grow on Lambay ; probably the present species was mis- 

 taken for it. 



T. repens (Linn.) — Frequent. 



T. minus (Sm.) — Frequent. 



Lotus corniculatus (Linn.) — Common, 

 f Vicia hirsuta (Koch.) — South-west side of island by the shore, and in 

 cultivated fields near the Coastguard Station. 



Vicia cracca (Linn.) — Banks by the shore at Talbot's Bay. 



V. sepiwn (Linn.) — Frequent. 



V. angustifolia (Roth.) — By the shore south of harbour, &c. ; east 

 coast of Lambay. 



V. lathjroides (Linn.) — Under Tinian Hill, above the sea, on the east 

 side of Lambay.
