Malva.] MALVACEA, 55 
Sparingly near Deenagh bridge in the Home Park, Killarney, 
1901 ; two or three plants in a pasture field near Southhill, 
and sparingly beside the Sheheree road east of Danesfort, 
Killarney, 1909 ; by the roadside near Gweestin bridge on 
the Killorglin-Killarney road: R.W.S. 1889—still there in 
1903. 
First record in 1889: R.W.S., Journ. of Bot. 
This handsome plant appears to be a favourite in Kerry 
gardens, from whence, no doubt, most of the stations given 
above have originated. 
M. sylvestris Linn. Common Mallow. 
Districts I. II. WI. IV. V. VI. VIE. VIII. IX. 
Denizen. Roadsides and about houses, field borders, &c. 
Rather common. Peren. May—August. 
First record in 1882: Archdeacon Wynne, Journ. Roy. 
Meteor. Soc., No. 45. 
More frequent near the coast than inland, but nowhere 
a common plant. Like most of this order in the county it 
usually affects very suspicious stations, sunny spots about 
houses, or the foot of a roadside wall being very favourite 
ones.

Colonist. Roadsides and waste places. Rare and local 
Peren. June—September. 
V. Sparingly in two spots by the roadside west of Aughils, 
Castlemaine Harbour, 1894.—VI. Sparingly on a cottage 
waste-heap near the ruins of Ballymalis Castle, 1896-98 ; 
plentiful about the village of Molahiffe, 1901-03.--- VII. 
Plentiful by roadsides, walls and waste places at Tincally 
Point west of Milltown, 1901; sparingly by the roadside 
north of the railway station, Tralee, and—VIII. Sparingly 
by the roadside at Lerrig pond north of Ardfert 1905: 
RWS. 
First record in Cyb. 1898: RWS. 
In most of the stations given above, only a few scattered 
plants were noticed ; in the two localities where it occurred 
plentifully, an old mill and a disused granary indicated the 
probable source of its introduction. While usually maritime 
in Ireland, it occurs in Kerry more often inland, and like 
all the Malvacee is rarely seen remote from dwellings, past 
or present.
