Leontodon.| COMPOSIT A. 173 
The variety with the involucres densely hairy (b. LAsIo 
L&NuUM Druce), has been gathered near Ballinskelligs, Water- 
ville, &c., and appears to be not infrequent. 
L.hispidus Linn. Apargia hispida Willd. Rough Hawkbit. 
Districts — — — — V. VI — ~~ — 
Native. Banks, pastures, &c. Very rare and local. Peren. 
June—August. 
V. At Castlegregory (Moore), and—VI. At~ Killarney 
(Babington) Cyb. 1866. Very sparingly beside the railway 
track a little over a mile east of Killarney : R.W.S. 1904— 
but not seen there in 1914. 
First record in Cyb. 1866: Moore & Babington. 
This appears to be one of the rarest plants in Kerry. It 
has not been seen recently in Dr. Moore’s Castlegregory 
station, nor, unless the railway track mentioned above is 
Babington’s Killarney locality, has it been seen in either of 
the Cybele stations since 1866. Even in the unsatisfactory 
1904 station given above, the plant occurred but very 
sparingly, and as it grows in abundance about the railway 
embankment below Mallow, may very well have been carried 
thence along the line. It has not been seen recently in the 
adjoining portion of West Cork, but is frequent elsewhere 
in that county and occurs in both Limerick and Clare.

is a common plant on the Kerry mountains and upland 
pastures ; it is less frequent elsewhere, but occurs on islands 
off the coast as well as in the lowlands.
