most probably an addition to the Flora of Kerry; for though the

was in frequent ocifintateses nent Bloxam over Rubi, when pre- 
paring the county Flora. Fok a similar reason I may state that I 
found R. villicaulis Koehl., near Crosemere ; the plant so named in 
the Flora having probably been R. pyramidalis Kalt. The Mere 
district does not seem to be at all rich in brambles, eae in one

referred to at p. 31, contains the following interesting note :—

which was collected by Sherard in the Mourne Mountains in 1694, 
and of which fronds are preserved in the Herbarium Sloaneanum in 
the British Museum, and the Sherardian herbarium at Oxford, was 
not an Asplenium, but a beautifully-divided plumose barren form
