Known as Irish to How, in whose Phytologia Britannica, 1660, 

 it appears, without any locality, under the name, Tithymalus 

 hibernicus. It is also mentioned in Ray's jSywopm, 1696, as found «'» 

 Mibernid, but the earliest definite Irish locality published appears to 

 be that of K'Eogh for county Limerick, 1736. K'Eogh's locality, 

 Anakirk, is perhaps Einekirk on the Maigue river below Adare.
