274 ON THE FLORA OF NORTH-WESTERN DONEGAL. 



W. and N., so far as I can identify them from Babington's 

 Manual. 



Geum rivals, L. — Rare; by Ballyconnelly Bridge, Glen Alia. 



Eosa arvensis, Hilda, Very rare. Banks by the roadside dear 

 Croaghross abundantly. F. 



R. tomentosa, Sm. — Common throughout the district ; but, as 

 far as my observation goes, less so than R. canina, L. 



Epilobium hirsutwn, L. — Very rare. By a small stream run- 

 ning to the Bottom shore below the bailiff's cottage. F. 



E. parviflorum, L. — Scarce. With the last. F. 



Circaa alpina, L. — Hills behind Sesiagh Lake, Dunfanaghy. 

 Woods by Lough Gartan, near Churchill. 



Myriophyllum spicatum, L. — Lough Conny, near Milford; near 



Loughkeel Village. 



Bay. 



, Wathb. — Local. Muddy salt marshes be- 

 Whale Head, and between Ramelton and 



L. saUnum, Presl. — Local. Burton Port. 



Spergula arvensis, L. — This corn-field weed is perhaps indi- 

 genous ; it often appears in the greatest abundance upon the first 

 breaking up and reclamation of a turf bog. 



Sedum Rhodiola, DO. — This plant increases in abundance to the 

 westward; it is profusely common on Aranmore. The leaves in 

 the autumn pass through all shades of purple rose and red, and in 

 many places, as upon Breaghy Head, on the western face of Aran- 

 more and upon Sheephaven below Ganiamore Mount, they lend a 

 conspicuous glow to the cliffs. 



[Ribes Grossularia, L.— Thickets along the shore of Lough Swilly 

 between Drurnalla and Fort Eoyal, with hazel and oak ; quite apart 

 from existing cultivation.] 



Saxifraya hirta, Sm.— Extremely rare. I found one small 

 colony of this Saxifrage in Polldoo, about two hundred feet 

 above sea-level, at the south-western corner of Aranmore. Hitherto 

 known only on Brandon and Galtymore. The Donegal plant is 

 more hirsute than any others I have seen. 



[S. Cymhalaria, L.— Established for many years on old moss- 

 grown walls near the steward's house, Glenalla.] 



S. oppositifolia, L.— Very rare and local. Abundant upon 



Bulbem Mount in Innishowen from 1300 to 1580 feet above 

 sea-level. 



\Apium graveolens, L.— Very rare, and a doubtful native. Sea- 

 shore between Ray and Carraleena ; marshy ground near the sea 

 at Port-na-blagh, near Dunfanaghy. 



Ilvlosciadlum ochreatum, DC— This form of H. nodiflnrwn, 

 Koch, grows with it by the sea-shore of Lough Swilly at Ramelton, 

 both maintaining then- respective characteristics. 



i Q na l) " pinel ' a Sax, f m< J a > L -— Very rare and local. Could not in 

 1878 or 1879 find this plant in the Fanet locality already given. 

 It grows, however, plentifully upon sandy pastures between Burton 

 1 ort and Kadew Strand, near to the latter. 



(Enantke crwata, L.— Local and rare. In several places along
