198 RECENT ADDITIONS TO OUR MOSS FLORA, 
stichum aculeatum rare, Lastrea Oreopteris found in one station gr ae 
Botrychium Lunaria and Ophioglossum vulgatum very scar 
may be noted, as very characteristic of our flora, ee following oe 
but highly interesting species : two found only in Cork in the 
British Isles—the Berehaven Orchis, Spiranthes Romanciviana, and the 
spotted Cistus, Helianthemum guttatum—and three found only in Cork 
of all the Irish counties—osa micrantha and R. systyla, and Luphorbia 
art 8 (?). There is besides a larger group that may be fairly 
acutus 
Again, highly characteristic of our flora are the following South and 
West European species : —_ out of fifteen in all Ireland— Helianthe- 
mum guttatum coms ve), Saxifraga Geum, S. wmbrosa and 
hirsuta (if distinet owhich § is very doubtful), Arbutus Unedo, Pingu 
cula grandi, } 8) 
Summing up brie ie we find the Highland type hardly repre- 
sented at all, viz., about 6 out of 113 British ; _the Germanic type 
have in common with one or more neighbouring counties, 
hile we want not a few commoner British plants. Lastly must 
be noted that we possess the sole European station for the rare 
Spiranthes Romanzoviana.
