TJudoubtedly introduced, but likely to become established, and 

 interesting as the first record for Ireland.. 



Sagina Linnsei Presl — Spergula saginoides JAsm. 

 I. On mountains near Bantry {Miss Hutehins) ; on Bear Island {T. 

 Brummond) : Flor. Sib. 



Never confirmed ; the plant observed was probably S. suhwlata 

 Presl, wHcli is found in several stations ia south.-west Cork. 



Spergula pentaudra Linn. 

 Eecorded in the jrd Ed. of Bay's Synopsis, p. 3^1, as observed in 

 sandy places in Ireland by Dr. Gr. Sherard. In Cylele Hih. p. log 

 it is suggested that Sherard's plant was a species of Lepigonwm 

 {Spergulairia) ; but Mr. G. C. Druce {Annals of Bot. Septr. i8go) 

 shows that the original specimen given by Sherard to Dillenius and 

 preserved in the Dillenian herbarium is true S. pentandra. Also 

 recorded in Flor. Cork as found near Cork by Brummond and in 

 gardens about Toughal by Miss Ball ; but little confidence can be 

 placed in the determination of the species. 



A plant of Middle and Southern Europe, merely casual in 

 Ireland.

Hypericum calyeinum Linn. 



I. Forming extensive underwood at Dinis, KiUamey, 1831 

 {Harvey) : Herh. Trin. Coll. Buhl. Thoroughly naturalized in the 

 woods at Muckross : Cyh. — II. Keai- BaUymaloe in the barony of 

 ImoMlly, remote from any garden: SmitVs Cork zy^o. Near 

 Midleton; Aghada; East Perry, &c., not rare in Cork : Ainu's Cork 

 East Ferry, the roadsides and banks of the Ballinacun-a river covered 

 with it for about a mUe, thoroughly naturalized in many stations : 

 Phillips iSgs- Also recorded from other counties, as "Wexford and 

 Wicklow : Cyh. 



This handsome plant, undoubtedly derived from cultivation in 

 all its stations, has established itself more thoroughly in Kerry and 

 Cork than elsewhere in Ireland, and seems almost deserving of a 

 place in the Irish Flora. 



Hypericum elatum Ait. 



II. Banks of Suir near Clonmel : Hmt 1885 a.— XII. Plantation 

 above Donard Lodge, Down : Flor. Ulst. Also stated to have been 

 gathered near Galway by Prof. Balfour : Cyl.
