has spread a good deal within living ery C. paludosa descends 
lmost to sea-level in the marshes of the Slaney, near Macmine 
dugenon (Wexford), where it is cra abundant. 
Taraxacum palustre var. udwn (Jord.). Probably frequent in

Cuscuta Epithymun u(p. 249). ‘* Doubtfully native.” Mr. Hart 
evdantly thinks otherwise (see Journ. Bot. for 1896, p. a) cone 
there is no obvious reason for considering his view as erron

plant may be really or apparently absent one year, sed tg the

Tris Jaudlaios (p. 850). « Nowhere native . . » No doubt in 
all cases a relic of ancient cultivation.”’ Some of the stations 
mentioned appear to be quite satisfactory. As it is a purely western 
and southern plant in Europe, extending into Spain and Portugal, 
there is great antecedent probability of its occurrence in a wild 
state in Ireland. Such a —_ as ‘cliffs on Lambay Island, 
looking native,’’ does not see __ to ne strong suspicion.

the proximity of this s plant to Wexford oe has to do with the 
local rank assignable to it; for it is about a quarter of a mile away
