The most common form of this variable species in Kerry 
is H. brevipila (Burn. & Grem.) ; it is abundant in the low- 
lands with flowers often rivalling those of #. Rostkoviana in 
size. Next to this in frequency comes Hf. curta (Wettst.), 
var. GLABRESCENS (Wettst.) especially on the mountains and 
uplands, where it almost takes the place of H. brevipila, and 
ascends to the summits of most of the Kerry mountains. 
Next to these comes H. Rostkoviana (Hayne) which also 
appears to be widely distributed in the county. HH. nemo- 
rosa (H. Mart.) has been found in one or two localities, but 
its distribution needs further investigation; while H. occiden- 
talis (Wettst.) has recently been found by Mr. Phillips at 
Ballybunnion. Neither H. gracilis (Fries), nor EH. salis- 
burgensis (Funck), have as yet been noticed in Kerry ; the 
latter, however, is known to occur abundantly at no great 
distance in the neighbouring county of Limerick, and it is 
also abundant in north Clare, so that this calcicole plant 
may be expected on the limestone rocks in the north of the 
county.
