This plant was first observed in Ireland nearly a hundred 
years ago about Cork City, and has spread thence over the 
greater portion of the south, nearly always on railway tracks. 
It is only, however, within the last few years that it has been 
seen off the Kerry main lines—Rathmore, Killarney, to 
Tralee. It is now (1914) found over the whole county 
railway system, except on the recently constructed Kenmare 
branch, the Dingle Light Railway and the portion of the 
Valencia branch from Kells to Valencia Ferry.
