(Concluded from p. 26.) 
t us now consider the Flora of Innishowen with regard to the 
different aronpe of pies es of which it is composed, as seep by 
nto “«T The Highland or Alpine type is well 
represented, about half the total number of Irish species being 
found in Innishowen 
Hieuianp Type. 
Draba incana. Vaccinium Vitis-Idea. 
Silene acaulis. olygonum viviparum. 
Sedum Rhodiola. Salix herbacea.

Of the above, those in italics alone maintain a Highland

saab in Ireland is so tedden Ls that of Salia herbacea espe- 
cially so. The following belong to 
NortHern Type. 
Drosera anglica Galeopsis versicolor. 
Parnassia palustris. Pinguicula vulgaris

This is somewhat more than a third of the total list of Northern 
or Scottish species found in Ireland. — above two sets of species

Th ntic or Western type is poarhy ‘represented. Species of 
this group decrease northwards; thus in Scotland we find about 
the number found in Ireland. The evden. ‘of this type 
is at its minimum in Donegal, and, strange to say, less than to the 
, in Antrim, inti the northern type is much better repre- 
sented also. To this subject I will have occasion to return.
