will be found to occur sparingly elsewhere in the county :

[CENTRANTHUS RUBER DC. Kentranthus ruber Druce. 
Red Valerian.—This plant occurs in the county in several 
places but only as an obvious garden escape, as on walls a 
little south of the east entrance to Ballyseedy demesne, near 
Tralee, &c. It has nowhere established itself in Kerry as 
it has in various parts of the adjoining county Cork.]

Native. Dry banks and sandhills, on walls and waste places, 
and as a weed of cultivation. Rather common and some- 
times abundant. Ann. April—July. 
Very rare in District IV., where it has been seen only as 
a garden weed at Dunloe Castle (Mrs. Jenner), and local in— 
IX. where, however, it occurs about Ballybunnion and near 
Ballylongford : R.W.S. 
First record in 1901: R.W.S., Topog. Bot. 
A densely tufted dwarf form of this plant occurs sometimes

Most probably overlooked elsewhere in the county, and 
not so rare as the above scanty records would indicate. 
[V. carinata Lois.—VIII. In abundance on roadside 
walls and banks less than a mile north-east of Ballyheige : 
R.W.S. 1903. No doubt only a causal in this station from 
which it had quite disappeared by 1907.]
