A. Ptarmica Linn. Ptarmica vulgaris DC, Sneezewort.

[Diotis canpipissima Desf.—D. maritima Cass.—VITI. 
“* On the shores of the strand at Ballyheigh”’ (Dr. Smith) Hist. 
of Kerry, 1756, p.376, No. 42. There has been no subsequent 
confirmation of this interesting record, nor does the plant 
appear to be there now. It is quite possible, however, that 
the Diotis really grew at Ballyheige and has been exter- 
minated since Dr. Smith’s time by the severe Atlantic 
storms to which this locality is much exposed ; it is a very 
rare and decreasing species in Ireland generally. ]

Appears to be local in Kerry and uncertain in its appear- 
ance, but is, no doubt, more widely distributed than the 
above scanty records would show.
