Iii INTRODUCTION. 
These absentees are—Thalictrum alpinum, Sagina subulata, 
Alchemilla alpina, Saussurea alpina, Polygonum viviparum and 
Poa alpina. 
Limestone formations are restricted to a small area in the 
valley of the Laune with the result that only 19 calcicole plants 
out of a Kerry total of 50 are known to occur. The small 
area of limestone and the inland position of the Barony fully 
account for the deficiencies of its flora which is the smallest of 
all the divisional floras of the county. 
The most attractive botanical ground, apart from the Reeks, 
is to be found in the lower portion of the Glencar valley and the 
adjoining portion of Caragh Lake. In these localities are 
found the following rare Kerry plants :—Hieracium orimeles, 
Pyrola minor, Malaxis paludosa, Juncus tenuis, Hriocaulon 
septangulare, Naias flexilis, Carex aquatilis, Isoetes echinospora, 
Asplenium acutum and Nitella confervacea. 
The characteristic South Kerry plants, such as Sazxifraga 
Geum and S. umbrosa with many of their hybrid forms, 
Pinguicula grandiflora, Carum verticillatum, Bartsia viscosa, 
Euphorbia hibernia and Rynchospora fusca are still more or less 
abundant in this division. Other rare plants found here are— 
Subularia aquatica Hieracium iricum Eleocharis acicularis 
Elatine hexandra Vaccinium Oxycoccus Carex curta 
Saxifraga hypnoides Utricularia intermedia C. acuta 
(agg.) Juniperus nana, Aspidium Lonchitis 
Galium boreale Potamogeton nitens Equisetum trachyodon 
Saussurea alpina P. graminifolius Lycopodium alpinum 
Hieracium anglicum P. prelongus Pilularia globulifera 
Only three species, all very rare in Ireland, are peculiar in 
Kerry to Dunkerron North, Draba incana, Pyrola minor and 
Utricularia Bremit.

This barony possesses the longest coast-line and is the 
most fully subject to maritime conditions of all the Kerry 
divisions, no portion of its surface being more than five miles 
distant from the nearest sea. The coast-line is very varied and 
includes some extensive stretches of sandhills such as those at 
Inch on its south side and at Castlegregory on the north, with 
miles of low-lying, often tide-riven, shores, and some of the 
finest sea cliffs to be found in Ireland. These cliffs begin to the 
north of Smerwick Harbour where Ballydavid Head rises to
