for this plant to have escaped observation for more than 
150 years. The nearest locality known for S. oppositifolia 
is in west Galway, more than one hundred miles to the 
north of its reputed Kerry station. The record is far more 
likely to be some error of Dr. Smith.] 
[S. aizoipEs Linn. Yellow Mountain Sazxifrage. “ On 
Connor cliffs near Dingle,” 1804: Mackay Rar. This record 
is repeated in Mackay Cat. 1825, and in his Flor. Hib. 1836. 
No one has seen this plant on Connor Hill, or elsewhere in 
Kerry, since Mackay’s time, although the neighbourhood 
has been well examined by many botanists. The nearest 
Trish locality known for 8. aizoides lies about 150 miles to 
the north, where it is abundant on the Sligo and Leitrim 
mountains. Mackay certainly knew the plant well, and it 
is quite possible that it still.exists near Connor Hill in some 
secluded spot in this wild district, or perhaps has died out 
in this locality since the date of his record, now over 100 years 
old. It is more probable, however, that the record owed its 
origin to some accidental mixing or confusion of specimens, 
and it is better to await modern confirmation before ad- 
mitting this interesting species among the native plants of 
Kerry. ]
