144 PLANTS FOUND IN KERRY, 
to Killorglin, where the Laune becomes tidal. At the exit of the 
itens 
river from the lake, P. perfo , P. heterophyllus, and P. ni 
var. salicifolius are very abundant, and grow mixed together; of the 
the last-n fe nt or two was so near to 
bei one or the other. About half-a-mile down n the ri ver the curious 
was first noticed gro in dense masses with P. perfoliatus and 
P. nitens var. salicifolius. This var. latifolius appears much nearer 
to P. perfoliatus than to nitens = ‘heterophyllus, and might, when 
growing, be easily passed over as a very luxuriant growth of the 
former, of which it has, moreover, the short stout flowering spikes. 
No trace of fruit could be found, though the plant flowers abundantly. 
IT have little doubt that this var. Sew Shs is a hybrid form between 
P. perfoliatus and probably niten. 
My second visit to Killorglin, ‘about sixteen miles by the Laune 
from the Lake, was to gather the long narrow-leaved form thought 
by Mr. Arthur Bennett to belong to P. Zizii. Neither P. hetero- 
— nor the vars. salicifolius. or latifolius of nitens were here 
ted; all having apparently disappeared, their place being taken 
es this form of P. Zizi, which grew hua again mixed with 
P. perfoliatus. Most of the flowerless P. Zizt t plants throw out 
two or three long narrow coriaceous floating leaves, while the stems 
that produced the ne aeenns spikes seen were usually without 
these coriaceous lea s Mr. Bennett points out, P. lucens 
seems to enter Paes the a of the Killorglin plant, and 
suggests as possible the very formidable combination of ‘‘ hetero- 
phyllus x perfoliatus x Zizit, or heterophyllus X Zizi,” Zizit being 
usually, I think, —— as a hybrid itself. Another difficulty in 
regard to —— plan is that, so far, P. lucens does not appear to be 
among une “Poioucediann though, as the river is too fel 
and deep to be ——— examined from the , one cannot 
be sure bm it does not occur in the sixteen miles of water. Where 
the vars. salicifolius and latifolius end, and the <4 oe form begi 
or whether they overlap each other, I cannot yet say. Neither on 
this plant could fruit be found, and I much doubt if it or the vars. 
produce any 
In the following list, lands followed by I. or VI. are additions 
_ to these districts of the Cybele Hibernica and its Supplement :— 
Ranunculus Lenormandi F. Schultz. Shows decided local ten- 
dencies in airy. and seems to prefer the mountainous portion of 
the county. 
Glaucium flavum Crantz. Shores of R. Shannon, east of Letter 
ocality. 
tthelidonium majus L. Several localities east of Kenmare, and

{Fumaria confusa Jord. Seems the commonest of the Kerry

Arabis ciliata R. Br. It is hard to understand what is meant by 
this as a British plant. It does not occur apparently anywhere else 
‘along the shores of Western Europe, and, as 4, sagittata is known
