VII. In some plenty on rocks at both sides of the entrance 
to Barrow Harbour, over a limited area, and on an adjoining 
old tower on the east side: R.W.S. 1888, and in 1902. 
First record in 1888: R.W.S., Journ. of Bot. 
Dr. Smith’s old record for ‘“ Limonium Ger ’’ given under 
S. rariflora, might very likely refer to S. occidentalis ; no 
form, however, of these plants has been recently observed 
in the Iveragh District. Mackay’s record in Flor. Hib. 
(under Statice spathulata Desf.), ‘‘in many places round the 
Kerry coast,’ most probably refers to the former species, 
for if S. occidentalis really occurred as frequently as is there 
stated it could hardly have escaped all recent observation 
except in the single locality given above. The distribution 
of the Sea Lavenders round the coast of this county is 
strangely erratic, and both species are apparently absent 
from many suitable localities.
