[H. paruipum Fries and H. Scumiptiu Tausch. The 
various Kerry records for these plants in Cyb. 1866, Topog. 
Bot., &c., by Backhouse, Linton, R.W.S., &c., are referred 
as above to H. iricum. The old aggregate H. pallidum 
Fries has been so whittled away in recent years that the 
name has now quite disappeared from the list of British 
Hawkweeds. Both the Killarney record of Backhouse for 
H. pallidum and that of the Messrs. Linton from Ross 
Island, have been transferred to H. Schmidtii Tausch. in 
Topog. Bot., probably in error, as the Rev. W. R. Linton 
has not repeated these Killarney records under this plant 
in his British Hieracia 1905. As at present known H. 
Schmidtii is restricted in Ireland to the north, not extending 
further south than Co. Sligo.]

I, Frequent at intervals along the River Sheen south of 
Kenmare, from near Ashgrove to above Dromagorteen 
bridge, and along its tributary the Coomeelan stream for a 
mile or more; it is especially abundant on rocks in the 
river below Dromanassig bridge, 1901-1913: R.W.S. 1904. 
For a mile or more along the River Slaheny which flows into 
the Roughty just below Kilgarvan; it occurs there in 
abundance on Coolyard bridge and about the neighbouring 
rocks, and more sparingly on rocks beside the river about 
a mile above this (Marshall & R.W.S.) R.W.S. 1904, and 
in 1913. 
First record in 1904: R.W.S., Irish Nat. 
The above localities represent a wide extension to the 
previously known range of this very local species in Ireland, 
Galway on the west coast, Down on the east and Donegal in 
the north being the only other Irish counties in which it 
certainly occurs. In Kerry it appears to be confined to the 
rivers Sheen and Slaheny, the most southerly stations at 
present known in the British Isles.
