170 ON THE FLORA OF INNISHOWEN, CO. DONEGAL. 
This pretty little _ is very delicate, and exceedingly sear 
some to rear in cultiv I have only had a single flower 
examine. Itisso eohietal like a Primula, nba os gin in posaaat 
that it was only dissection which showed me a Gesneracea. 
Mr. Henry says that, when alive, the Patitles: teeth exhales

Stunted U. al tate may have been mistaken for it; it is, at any 
rate, very rar

onis arvensis L.—Buncrana, W. E. H. I could not find it 
there in Sept. 1882. This plant is recorded, without locality, from 
Donegal in the ‘ Cybele Hibernica.’ I have never been able to meet 
ith it. 
Medicago lupulina L.—Rather scarce. 
Anthyllis Vulneraria L. re mon 
+ Trifolium pratense L.—Com 
T. repens L.—Common. The entive situation of these two clovers 
appears to me very distinct in Ireland. e present species thrives 
in damp or even very wet ground, either by the sea or to a consider- 
able ary on mountains, while 7’. pratense always looks most at 
home on dry banks and bluffs by the seaside. Red clover is more 
doubtfully native in the north west than the Shamrock. T. repens 
is commonly pink in salt marshes, where it resembles 7’. fragiferum. 
Some botanists believe neither species indigenous to Ireland. 
T. medium L.—Local, but quite a rere er plant in Innis- 
howen, where I have observed it in the following localities :— 
between Kilderry and Slieve Snacht; “Da naff Head; Leenane; 
~~ ground at Ardmalin South, on the west side of Malin Head ; ; 
Knockglass, west of Malin, and at Goorey, by the school-house. 
I fom: found it also in Northern Donegal at Aranmore
