148 COMPOSIT A. [Pulicaria. 
[P. vutearis Gaertn.—VII. Cromane, Kerry (Herb. J. 
Reilly) Barrington in Journ. of Bot. 1877, p. 178. A correctly 
named specimen of the above plant appeared in a collection 
of plants purchased by the late Mr. R. M. Barrington. It 
was gathered by Mr. John Reilly, a coastguards-man who 
was stationed at Cromane for some years, and who appears 
to have made a collection of plants at various stations round 
the coast. It has not been seen there since, nor elsewhere 
in Ireland, and must be regarded as a casual only.]

but common in the barony of Iraghticonnor, near Listowel,

No doubt some species of Arctium was really intended.]

ceding, although, taking Ireland generally, it appears to be 
the rarer species of the two.
