ZHGUMIJSrOS^. 



Genista tinctoria Linn. — Dyer's green-weed. 

 V. Between Killiney Hill and Bray : Mach. Cat. 8f Flor. Mh. 



An error. Tte dwarf procumbent form of Cytisua scopm-ius^ 

 wMcli grows at Killiney Hill and Howth, was probably mistaken 

 for this species. 



Ononis spinosa Linn. 

 I. Blackrock ; and— II. At Little Island : Flor. Cork—XLl. In a 

 pasture field near BaUinabincli, Down, a casual (Stewart) : Flor. 

 N.-F. 



The Flor. Corh records should probably be referred to the Var. 

 HOEEiDA of 0. repens. 



Medicago sativa Linn. — 1 

 II. Clife at Ballycroneen, Cork, established ; Phillips. — V. Sandy 

 fields at Portmarnock, perfectly naturalized : Maek. Cat. 1835 : — 

 and again in 1866; Sa/rt. WeU established on sandhUls near 

 Eush, Co. Dublin [Moore) : Cyb. 1866 : — and still there in 1895 ; 

 N. C. — X. Fields near Armagh and Eichhill: Praeger i8gj. — XII. 

 Abundant on a railway bank near Lame in 1869 [Stewart); and 

 again in 1877 {Carry) : Flor. N.-F. 



Also occurs sparingly in numerous other stations, but is always 

 an obyious reHc of cultivation, though in some stations maintaining 

 itself for many years. 



Medicago sylvestris Tries. 

 V. Found in considerable quantity on dry sandy banks at the 

 southern end of Portmarnock sandhills, Co. Dublin, by E. LL 

 Praeger iu 1894-96 ; and at Malahide, three and a-half miles to the 

 the northward, by Prof. G. F. Fitzgerald in 1896 : Ir. Nat. i8gb, 

 p. 24g. 



As these localities are notoriously fruitful in alien species and 

 the plant has not been recorded fi-om any other station in Ireland, 

 it seems inadvisable at present to admit it to the Irish Flora. 



Medicago falcata Linn. 

 II. Eoadside near Queenstown Junction, 1897; Philips. — ^V. Port- 

 marnock : Maeh. Cat. — but not seen recently. — YI. One plant by
