234 STIRPIUM DUARUM NOVARUM E PRIMULACEARUM. 



likely to have produced T. scabrum or T. striatum, misnamed at a 

 time when T. maritimum was imperfectly known to Irish botanists; 

 while, in the Island of Lambay, there is no tract that can be 

 called a salt marsh, this kind of station having probably been 

 borrowed from one of the current < Floras. 1 In the North Lots, 

 which is the well-known locality for two of our rarest plants, Carex 

 dirisa and Sclerochloa Borreri, I have never been able to find a 

 trace of the Trifolium ; and I much fear that some mistake was 

 made about the few "introduced" specimens supposed to have 

 been once gathered there by Mr. Johnston. 



In the present instance there is no doubt as to the species, but 

 it will probably be prudent to wait for further observation before 

 enrolling T. maritimum as a certain native of Ireland.
