By R. Lloyd Praeger, B.A., M.R.I.A. 



The following notes are in continuation of those which appeared 

 in this Journal, pp. 75-77. By the kindness of Rev. W. M. Rogers, 

 a number of my Irish plants have been submitted to Dr. Focke, 

 and Mr. Rogers has favoured me also with his own more mature 

 opinion on others about which there was at first some doubt. Of 

 those which are now recorded, E. micans and R. saxicolus do not

 Co. Wicklow.

 second station, about a mile from that previously noted, which was 

 its first known station in Ireland. 



E. Koehleri W. & N. Kelly's Glen, Co. Dublin. "A very 

 prickly form, near var. hirsutus, but sufficiently distinct from it, 

 and making some approach to strong forms of it. hystrix," W. M. R. 



E. saxicolus P. J. Muell. West side of Three Rock Mountain, 

 Co. Dublin : "I believe it is near E. saxicolus, but a quite glabrous 

 variety," W. 0. F. ; "I agree," W. M. R. Raheny, Co. Dublin : 

 " Form of /,'. ^xa-ulnsr W. U. F. Foxrock, Co. Dublin: " A form 

 of //. saxicolus, I suppose," W. 0. F. Lough Dan, Co. Wicklow : 

 " Apparently between It. saxicolus P. J. M. and E. hirtus W. & K.," 

 W. M. IF; " E. saxicolus, I think, an unusually hairy variety," 

 W. 0. F. Not hitherto recorded from Ireland. 



E. dumetorum W. & N., var. E. diversifolius (Lindl.). Clontarf, 

 Co. Dublin : Nut unite Lin. ik-y's plant, I think, but nearer to it

A number of other plants still remain doubtfully named, amongst 

 which are several supposed hybrids and a number of Corylifolii 

 ylandulosi. Among the names suggested for Co. Dublin plants are 

 E. Wahlbergii and E. Menkei, two forms that are not, so far, known
