326 ’ ANCIENT AND UNVERIFIED KERRY RECORDS. 
No mountains et to afford a home to S. acaulis exist. near 
Blackstones, and, though the Reeks are not very far off, these 
mountains have a too well worked to allow of the chance of the 
Silene having been overlooked. No doubt many — of the two 
very wild baronies of Dunkerron North and South have not been, 
even dice ee , searched ; baile I am afraid this pete must 
be numbered among Smith’s

8. coe aie maritimus. Recorded by Smith from Kerry about 
1750, and seems to have been gathered in his rsalliey by Mackay in 
1804, and seven times subsequently. The plant has apparently 
died out at this, its only Irish station. Vide Journ. Bot. March, 
1889, p. 86.

89. Saxifraga oppositifolia. «Among the rocks near Black-
