Teesdalia.] CRUCIFERZ. 31 
VI. Sparingly in the West Park, Killarney—about a dozen 
plants on the sandy margin of the lake near Mahony’s Point, 
growing among the Gorse with Cerastium arvense, &c., June 
1901: R.W.S. 1902. 
First record in 1902: R.W.S., Irish Nat. 
When re-examining the above locality in the summer of 
1903, it was found that the great storm in February of that 
year had caused sad havoc along the sandy shore of the 
lake, a strip, in places several feet wide, having been quite 
washed away. The destruction done appeared to involve 
all the Teesdalia and most of the Cerastium arvense. A 
careful search, however, revealed a plant or two of the 
Cerastiwm still left, and it is possible that the T'eesdalia may 
also have survived either there or in the neighbourhood. 
In 1904 and again in 1908, there was still no sign of the 
plant, although the Cerastium appeared to be spreading 
again. 
eThis plant was recognised as occurring in Ireland only in 
1896, when Mrs. Leebody found it growing on the shores of 
Lough Neagh—vide the Irish Nat., 1896, p. 212; the 
Killarney station possessed, therefore, especial interest as 
extending its range from the north-east to the south-west of 
Ireland. When growing in small quantity among other 
plants, it is very easy to overlook ; it appeared to be native 
in its Killarney locality. 
[CRaMBE MARITIMA Linn. Sea Kale.—II. On an Island 
towards the head of Kenmare River [as “‘ sea coleworts ’’] 
(Dr. Smith) Hist. of Kerry, 1756, p. 85—but not seen there 
recently.—VII. One plant noticed for several years before 
1890, by the shore below Seafield, Spa, Tralee Bay, but not 
seen there since 1900. About a dozen fine plants scattered 
along the stony margin of the beach, a quarter of a mile 
west of the previous locality, 1905: R.W.S. 1908, but no 
sign of them in 1914. Dr. Smith’s record of “sea cole- 
worts ” is equivalent to Crambe maritima according both 
to Ray and to Threlkeld’s Synopsis. With other maritime 
plants, like the Sea Stock and Mertensia, the Sea Kale is a 
decreasing species in Ireland, and is not now found where 
it certainly occurred in former years. Even in the few 
stations in which it still occurs, not more than one or two 
plants are usually seen. In its Tralee Bay localities it is 
open to great suspicion of being an outcast or escape from 
cultivation, garden waste being not infrequently thrown 
over the adjoining low cliffs.]
