700 Proceedings of f lie Royal Irish Academy. 



Arabis hirsuta (E. Br.) Maumeen. — Eare in the west, except on 

 limestone. 

 jSenebiera didyma (Pers.) — Achill sound at the ferry ; a north-western 

 limit for this spreading species, which had not previously been 

 known north of Galway on this side of Ireland. 



Eubus saxatilis (Linn.) — Mweelrea, Croaghpatrick, and Bennabeola. 



Saxifraga coespitosa (Linn.) — Muckanaght. 



Saxifraga oppositifolia (Linn.) — Mweelrea and Muckanaght. Also 

 onMaamTurk and Ben Lottery, which are given in the "Cybele" 

 and one locality I did not verify, "mountains in Joyce country, 

 near Lough Corrib." 



^gopodium jpodagraria (Linn.) — N^ear Westport. 



ffinanthe laehenalii (Gmel.) — Kear Bundorragha on the Killary. 

 Known previously from one locality near Galway. 



CE. crocata (Linn.) — In several places about the Killary. Eecorded 

 only from Belmullet in the district. 



Pastinaca sativa (Linn.) — Eoadsides, and banks about Newport. 



Eubia peregrina (Linn.) — Mweelrea and Salrock. Eecorded pre- 

 viously from the shores of Lough Mask. 



Saussurea alpina(I)l.) — Croaghpatrick, BenLettery, and Muckanaght. 



Hieracium anglicum and H. iricum (Fr.) — Mweelrea and Ben 

 Choona. H. anglicum is not unfrequent. 



J7". vulgatum (Fr.) — Muckanaght. 



Arctostaphylos uva-ursi (Spr.) — Mweelrea, Nephin, and Nephinbeg 

 in Mayo. More frequent in Galway. 



Vaccinum vitis-idsea (Linn.) — Only met with in very small quantity 

 in one place on Mweelrea. Other localities are given in the 

 " Cybele " which I failed to verify. It is very rare in the 

 west. 



Scrophularia aquatica(Linn.) — Bundorragha, at the foot of Mweebea; 

 not seen elsewhere in the district except in the "Cybele" locality 

 to the west of Galway. 



Utricularia intermedia (Hayne.) — Frequent in the Mweelrea district 

 at low levels, as well as about Connemara. This plant forms 

 hybernacula, and if the fragile stem be lifted gently and traced 

 through the mud with the fingers for the root, a little tuberous 

 formation about the size of a bean will usually be found at the 

 end of the stem. This habit is not mentioned in the British 

 text-books, but Mr. Baker informs me that there are specimens 

 exhibiting these hybernacula at Kew. I have seen undeveloped 

 leaf-buds of U. vulgaris at the end of the summer, although not 

 so dense; and Darwin says these "fall off and lie dormant during 

 the winter at the bottom . " In U. intermedia they remain attached, 

 and form the point at which the arrested growth recommences 

 the following season. Such a means of living is the more neces- 

 sary to the present species, since it rarely seeds itself. 



Statice bahusiensis (Frie.) — Shore below Croaghpatrick. IS'ot found 

 north of Clifden previously on the west side of Ireland.
