238 NOTES ON THE FLORA OF CO. ARMAGH. 
The first radical leaves of either silaifolia or pimpinelloides are 
not shown on the F. B. plate. CM. silaifolia will be in flower 
sometimes by May 20th* to June 20th. (. pimpinelloides in culti- 
vation I have never seen earlier than July 10th. Lachenalii I have 
not seen in flower before July, but in the Flora of Dorset, “June to 
October” is given. I hope to sow seeds of all three at one time, 
and note their differences in the first year’s growth. 
I ought to add that Grenier (in a letter to Dr. Boswell in 1853) 
refers our plant to Ci, peucedanifolia Poll. On this I may perhaps 
inion. In the Kew Herbarium there is a specimen 
from Schultz, which seems to me to exactly agree with the peucedani- 
folia of Pollich, and comparing ours with this I cannot make it 
agree, but would name our plant silaifolia M. Bieberstein, JJ. 
Taur. Caue. iii. p, 282 (1819). 
Finally, I do not believe that any botanist could grow these 
three plants for several years, carefully watching them at all 
stages, and regard them as one species, even from a Linnean 
‘standpoint. ;

By R. Luoyp Prazcer, B.E., M.R.I.A. 
Armacu is a rather small county, with an area of 512 square

exception of its south-eastern corner, where it borders the narrow

There is a variety of geological formations in Armagh, and 
these have a due effect in their respective areas, both on the 
physical features and on the flora. In the north, stretching. along 
the Lough Neagh shores, there is a thick deposit of lacustrine clays 
of Older Tertiary age; this ow-lying area is now covered with
