ON THE FLORA OF NORTH-WESTERN DONEGAL. 



By Henry Chichester Hart, B.A. 



(Concluded from p. 275.) 



Knautia arvemis, Coult. — Very rare. Brownknowe, near 

 Ramelton, where it was found by the Very Rev. Dean Gwynn, 

 July, 1880. I have not seen this plant elsewhere in Denegal, 

 except in the neighbourhood of Lough Esk. See * Recent Additions 

 to tho Flora of Ireland,' by A. G. More, 1872. 



{ 'Petasites fragrans, Presl. — Thoroughly established at Fort 

 Stewart and Augh-na-gaddy, Dean Gwynn. Near Rathmullan 

 House. 



Bidens tripartita, L. — Rare. Lough Fern at the Kilmacrennan 

 end; boggy ground at Cam Mill, near Ramelton ; Glenlough, near 

 the village. 



Artemisia Absinthium, L. — Near Ray and Kindrum, established 

 from gardens. 



GnaphaUum sylvaticum, L. — Local and rather rare. Between 

 Loughs Doo and Conny, near Milford; Burton Port; near 

 Glen. 



[Antennana maryatitacea, R. Br. — A colony by the side of the 

 disused road between Kilmacrennan and Churchill, about two 

 miles from the latter.] 



Senecio sylvaticus, L. — Local. Near Croaghross ; Auchterlinn; 

 Carrowkeel; Moyle Hill; near Glen. 



Saussurea cdpina, DC. — Extremely rare. I found two or three 

 small scattered colonies of this alpine plant upon the north- 

 western face of Bulbein Mount, near the summit. It has hitherto 

 been only recorded from Kerry. But I am informed by my friend 

 A. G. More that there is a record of this plant in Templeton's MS. 

 11 Innishowen, Co. Donegal, Mr. Brown." This is the same 

 mountain on which Robert Brown found Saxifraya oppositifolia, so 

 that my observation corroborates his two discoveries. Growing 

 with them, however, is also Polygonum viviparitm, which I am 

 grateful to him for leaving me to add to the Donegal flora. 



[Cichorium hitybus, L. — Very rare and hardly established. Be- 

 tween Ramelton and Fort Stewart, Dean Gwynn. I have not seen 

 specimens.] 



Sonchiis asper, Hoffm. Local. Aranmore. 



S. arvensis, L. — I believe this plant, which is very common
