many similar sites and, no doubt, a visit to these woods in 
June before the undergrowth assumes such dense propor- 
tions would lead to the discovery of this plant elsewhere. 
Owing to the very limited number of plants seen it has 
been thought advisable not to specify the locality minutely. 
Elsewhere in Ireland, this Pyrola is on record from six or 
seven counties only, and in several of these has not been 
seen for many years; the nearest locality to Kerry is in 
Tyrrell’s Pass, Westmeath, nearly 150 miles to the north- 
east, where Dr. Moore found it in 1872.

This plant seems to be very uncertain in its appearances ; 
it was noticed in the locality given above several times 
between 1890 and 1896, but searches within the last few 
years have failed to find a trace of it. No doubt it will 
reappear, but as the Monotropa proves to be very rare in 
Ireland generally, it has been thought better not to specify 
the locality too closely.
