DISTEICT IT. LEUfSTEB, COAST. 



Wexford and WieMow, 



Area, 1677 square miles. — Flora, 771 species and sub-species. 



Maritime. Mountainous towards tte north, with extensive 

 stretches of sandy coast on the south and south-east. In county 

 Wicklow are Lugnaquilla, 3039 feet, the highest summit in East 

 Ireland, MuUaghcleevaun, 2783 feet, and Thonalagee, 2684 feet, 

 with many other points over 2000 feet ; in Wexford are Mount 

 Leinster, 2610 feet, and Blackstairs, 2409 feet, both extending 

 into District III. With the exception of the Slaney, all the rivers 

 are unimportant. The poverty of Highland type plants is perhaps 

 the most peculiar feature in the flora. Notwithstanding the large 

 mass and general high elevation of the Wicklow Mountains they 

 yield but 12 out of the total of 41 Highland type plants found in 

 Ireland. The Hieracia number 9 and the peculiar species 5.
