The northern limit of the Lobelia in Kerry is fairly re- 
presented by a line joining Tralee with Killorglin and thence 
through Killarney to Rathmore. Although almost confined 
to lakes and ponds, it is also found in sluggish streams, such | 
as the Back Channel and portions of the Long Range con- 
necting the Killarney lakes, as well as in the river from 
Lough Currane, &c. Where the Lobelia occurs, it usually 
grows in great abundance, and when in flower its lilac 
racemes form an attractive feature along the margins of 
most of the lakes in the south of the county.
