Wear the coast-guard station, Portrane, in 1895 ; E. W. S. In 1837 

 it appeared ia' sandy cultivated fields at Portmamock, Dublin, where 

 it has not since been observed. 



So far, the plant does not appear to have fully naturalized 

 itself in Ireland, though well established in its Portrane station. 



Silene dichotoma Ehrh. 

 V. In a turnip field near Clonsilla, Co. DubUn, 1894; iV. C. — 

 XII. Abundant in several cornfields between Saintfield aad 

 Crossgar, Co. Down, 1894 {JD. Redmond Sf Rev. C. H, WaddelT); 

 waste ground by the Belfast Distillery, 1893^ {R. Sanna): 

 S.^R.iSgs. 



A native of eastern Europe, introduced with foreign grain and 

 apparently spreading in England. 



Cerastium alpinum Linn. 

 XII. About Ballinleg and Glenarm : Ir. Flor. Abundant on the 

 left side of the road from Lame to Glenarm, 1833 : Whitla MS. 



An error in both cases. 



« 



Cerastium trigynum Vill. 

 I. High mountains near Bantry, rare ( Jf«ss HutcMns) : Mack. Oat. Sj- 

 Flor. Sib. 



Never confirmed. A decidedly alpine species confined in Gfreat 

 Britain to the Scotch Highlands and by no means Kkely to occur in 

 south-west Cork. Though there are specimens correctly named in 

 Dr. Maokay's Herbarium they cannot be relied on as supporting the 

 record, as many of the plants in this collection are known to have 

 ■been derived from the Botanic Gardens, and were inserted only to 

 represent the species. 



Stellaria aquatica Scop. — MalacMtm aquaticum Pries. 

 I. or II. On the banks of the Lee {Br. Hmcks) : Flor. Hil. SfFlor, 

 Corh. 



A specimen in the Herbarium of the Cork Institution is attri- 

 buted to Drummond by Dr. Hincks {Ann. JVat. Etsi. 1841), but is 

 not iacluded in Drummond's list. Never confirmed, and no doubt 

 an error. 



Arenaria tenuifolia Linn. 

 III. Growing plentifully with Linwria minor, Sagina apetala, &c., 

 along the railway track at Ballybrophy, Queen's Co., for about 30ft 

 yards, 1898; also at Bansha, Tipperary, 1898; R. A. ~ '"'
