1500. Usually alpine, but occasionally found at low levels in 

 Mayo ; it is then sometimes indistinguishable from S. iricum, 

 which, I believe, is a luxuriant lowland form. Typical S. iricum 

 never occurs higher up, or in alpine situations. It may be seen 

 along the roadside at Kylemore and elsewhere. The two forms 

 graduate into one another about Doo Lough and Maumeen. 



Twelve Bens (MucKAifAGHT). 

 2110 feet. 



Thalictrum alpiyium (Linn.) — To 1700, and on Ben Lettery, 1520 to 

 1300; Maamturk (Maumeen), 1520; Benchoona, 1600 to 1300; 

 Croaghpatrick, 1590 to 1570. Apparently on all rocks except 

 quartzite. Like Lycopoclium al^inum, it seems especially fond of 

 granite or gneiss. 



MWEELEEA. 



2100 feet. 



Ranunculus acris (Linn.) — ITot noticed ascending to any considerable 



height elsewhere. Frequent from about 1200 downwards. 

 Cardamine hirsuta (Linn.) — Croaghpatrick, 1650. ISTot common at any 



considerable height. 

 Angelica syhestris {IjUim.) — And at 1900; Croaghpatrick, 1590. IS'ot 



seen elsewhere higher up. 

 Chrysosplenitim oppositifolium (Linn.) — And at 1450. Bare on the 



mountains. 

 Taraxacum dens-leonis (Desf.) — Croaghpatrick, 1590. 

 Lycopodiimi selaginoides (Linn.) — To 300 ; 3ilaamturk (ITaumeen), 



1650 ; Twelve Bens, 1500 to 1320. 



BeI^ GoEM (ILWEEIEEA GeOUp). 



2050 feet. 



Erica cinerea (Lion.) — N'ephin, 1750 ; Birreencorragh, 1500 ; Xephin- 

 beg, 1425; Croaghpatrick, 1690; Mweelrea, 1500 and 1400; 

 Maamtrasna, 1750 ; Maamturk range, 2000 ; Twelve Bens, 

 1800 and 1450. Stunted and scattered above 1600 feet, and 

 hardly general anywhere above 1500. 



Pinguicida vulgaris (Linn.) — And at 1940 ; Buckoogh, 1920 ; Achill, 

 1480; Croaghpatrick, 1590; Maamtrasna, 1900; Twelve Bens, 

 1450. The lower of these upper limits arises from unsuitability 

 of ground ; common below. 



Narthecium ossifragum (Huds.) — Glenamorig, 1750; Achill, 1480. 

 Abundant below.
