Colonist. Cultivated ground and roadsides. Rare. Ann. 
June—October.

Glenbeigh and Dooaghs, and sparingly near Kells Bay :

pang between Milltown and Callanafersy, 1888-1890 :

{S. acavyis Linn.—‘‘ On the rocky mountains in Dun- 
kerron near Black-stones’”’ (Dr. Smith) Hist. of Kerry, 
1756, p. 379, No. 64. The rocky mountains referred to are 
most probably the Reeks which are not far from Blackstones, 
Glencar. These mountains, however, have been too well 
explored by Mr. Hart and others to allow much chance of 
the Silene having been overlooked. No doubt parts of the 
two very wild Baronies of Dunkerron North and South 
have not even yet been thoroughly searched, but it is more 
probable that the record is some error of Dr. Smith. In 
Treland, Silene acaulis is not known to occur south of 
Clare Island off the coast of Mayo, fully 120 miles to the 
north.]
