 determination of several doubtful Panicums. We shall look to the 

 last part of the Flora of British India for clearer light on this 

 difficult genus, and a considerable reduction in the number of 



ARTEMISIA STELLERIANA Bess. IN IRELAND. 



By Nathaniel Colgan. 

 Readers of this Journal must feel indebted to Prof. Areschoug 

 for the very interesting discussion on the distribution of this species 

 given in last month's number, and I congratulate myself on the 

 fact that the short note in which I announced what appears to 

 have been its first discovery in Ireland has had the happy effect of 

 securing for English botanists a paper so suggestive and full of 

 research. The difficulties in the way of accounting for the intro- 

 duction of the Kamtschatkan Artemisia to the coast of Southern 

 Sweden — assuming it to have been introduced — are apparently 

 very serious. It is otherwise, however, in the case of the Irish 

 Btation on the North Bull; and before the appearance of Prof. 

 Areschoug' s paper it had not occurred to me to weigh very carefully 

 the conflicting claims of the many possible modes of its accidental 

 introduction to this locality. But his paper has given quite a new 

 interest to the plant, and has stimulated me to further inquiry into 

 the origin of its settlement in the Co. Dublin.
