Native. Pastures, meadows, roadsides, &c. Very common: 
Peren. February—October, but flowers may be found all 
the year round. 
From sea-level, to 2,380 feet on Brandon (Hart). 
First record in 1881: Barrington, Proc. R.I.A. 
The curious rayless form of this plant, in some ways 
simulating the flowering heads of Eriocaulon, was gathered 
at Carriglea near Killarney in 1904: R.W.S. 
ASTER Linn. 
A. Tripolium Linn. Sea Starwort. 
Districts I. Il. UI. — V. — VII. VIII. IX. 
Native. Salt marshes and rocky or stony places by the sea. 
Common, locally abundant. Peren. August—September.

A. [levis Linn 2]. 
Districts — — TI. — — VI ~ ~ — 
Alien. Swampy places. Very rare and local. Peren. 
August—September. 
III. Two or three tufts along the northern shore of Caragh 
Lake, 1911-13.—VI. Rather sparingly by the river, just 
above Owneykeagh bridge, between Headford and Glen- 
flesk, 1894-97, but not seen there in 1901 ; abundant in a 
swampy thicket by the Lower Lake, Killarney, a little north 
of Ross Castle, 1903—still plentiful in 1914: R.W.S. 
First record in Cyb. 1898: R.W.S. 
The Owneykeagh colony of this Aster retained its position 
for several years before it disappeared. It has since been 
ascertained that this plant had, some years previously, been 
cast out of the Headford House gardens which adjoin the 
river about a mile and a half above the spot in which the 
plant was found. In its Killarney station the Aster appears 
to be thoroughly established.
