This is abundant on the Kerry sandhills. In District I., 
where there are no sandhills, it is rare, and has been noticed 
only about Kenmare and between Lehid and Bunaw. It 
occurs also, but very rarely, inland, as along the sandy north 
shore of the Lower Lake, Killarney: R.W.S. 1902, and in 
1914; and in some abundance on Kilflyn bridge, east of 
Abbeydorney, 1907 ; these are the only inland localities at 
present known for this plant in the county. Kilflyn lies 
about eight miles from the nearest sea, and the Killarney 
station about twelve.

It occurs inland—VI. In one or two spots along the 
sandy north shore of the Lower Lake, Killarney, about 
Mahony’s Point: R.W.S. 1902, and in 1904.

The Killarney station given above is, with the exception 
of Mr. Hart’s Benevenagh, Co. Panels locality, the only 
inland station for C. semidecandrum known in Ireland. 
With Cerastium arvense, Silene maritima and Armeria 
maritima, it forms an interesting little group of plants, 
usually maritime in Ireland, which still hold their ground 
about the Lower Lake, Killarney.
