II. In some abimdance in an extensive pasture field at 

 Trabolgan, Co. Cork, 1896-97; Phillips. 



The only locality at present known to Mr. PhilUps is a large 

 grazing field sheltered by plantations forming part of the extensive 

 demesne of Trabolgan, where the plant is not free from the 

 suspicion of having been accidentally introduced. Its distribution 

 in England, however, is quite consistent with its appearance as a 

 native in the south of Ireland ; and as the plant might easily be 

 mistaken for CE. Lachenalii there is a good reason to expect its 

 discovery in other localities in the South. On the whole, it appears 

 to be entitled, at least, provisionally, to a place in the Irish flora. 



The earlier Irish records for this plant ia Flor. Hih. should no 

 doubt be referred to the following species.
