As will be seen from the foregoing lists, Calcifuge plants 
number 97, or 12.73 p.c.of the county flora, and are nearly 
twice as numerous as those showing Calcicole tendencies. 
Not all these plants, however, show this repulsion or attraction 
in an equal degree, and an attempt has been made in the text 
of this flora to differentiate between those showing strongly 
marked proclivities and those showing them in a less pro- 
nounced degree, the former being described as Calcifuge A. or 
Calcicole A. the latter as Calcifuge B. or Calcicole B. While 
most of the tendencies shown hold true for Ireland as a 
whole, they all indicate primarily the habit of the plant in 
Kerry. A few other species such as Geranium columbinum, 
Leontodon hispidum, Lycopodium inundatum, é&c., which 
show marked proclivities elsewhere, occur too sparingly in 
the county to justify any local deduction being made.
