mission to the Kerry flora should rest solely on the 
unsatisfactory locality given above. Jt grows there on an 
old but artificially made bank, quite near to flower beds, 
and almost beside such undoubted Kerry aliens as Linaria 
Cymbalaria, Centranthus ruber and Lactuca muralis. Until 
quite recently, it has shown little or no tendency to spread 
during the twenty-three years it has been under observation, 
although many suitable spots occur in the vicinity ; during 
the last few years, however, it appears to be following the 
example of the Lactuca and is now gaining a footing in the 
adjoining shrubberies. Until a more satisfactory locality 
is discovered in the county, this Hawkweed must rest under 
suspicion of having been accidently introduced with flower 
or grass seed, or with ornamental shrubs.

The claim of H. vulgatum to be regarded as a Kerry plant 
rests solely on Mr. Hart’s Brandon records given above. It 
has not been seen in these localities since and must occur 
there in very small quantity indeed to have escaped all 
recent observers. 
The plant recorded under this name in Cyb. 1898, and 
Topog. Bot. by R.W.S. as gathered on Mangerton, proves 
on further investigation to belong to H. orimeles (q.v.).
