generally met with in mountain cliffs, but is very local, 
seldom occurring in any quantity and apparently quite 
absent from many suitable stations. It is very rare at low 
levels, the Killarney lake-shore being the only lowland 
locality at present known. On the Kerry mountains, H. 
anglicum appears to occur chiefly as the var. CERINTHIFORME 
Back. in litt—var. pectrrens Syme, to which, gatherings 
from the Caha Mountains, from near Sneem, Brandon, 
Mangerton and the Paps Mountain, have been assigned.

I. On Turner’s Mountain, Kerry side: Druce 1891. In 
some plenty on rocks on the Kerry side of the Glengarriff 
tunnel at about 1,025 feet, 1890-1904: R.W.S., these two 
stations are no doubt identical—I. or II. Kenmare (Dr.

On Ross Island, Killarney : Linton 1886 (as H. pallidum 
Fries). Abundant at intervals on the bare limestone rocks 
round the Lower Lake of Killarney from Ross Island to 
West Meadow Bay on the Muckross shore, also on most of 
the limestone islands in the lake ; it occurs also in similar 
situations on the north and east shores of the Muckross 
Lake, 1888-1911: R.W.S. 
From about 70 feet around the Killarney lakes, to 600 feet 
in the Gap of Dunloe (R.W.8.), and to 1,050 feet on Turner’s 
Mountain (Druce). Further examination of the mountain 
localities recorded above will probably show that this plant 
ascends to a greater height. 
First record in 1856: Backhouse, Monograph Brit. Hier. 
(as H. pallidum Fries). 
In early summer this fine Hawkweed is quite a feature on 
several of the bare limestone cliffs and rocks around the 
Killarney lakes. Owing, however, to its very dry and ex- 
posed situation there, it not infrequently withers prema- 
turely during any lengthened spell of hot weather,
