It is only its persistence in Mr. Barrington’s station for a 
period of over thirty years that entitles this plant to a place 
in the county flora. Although long sought for in the sandy 
cultivated area about Castlegregory and in other suitable 
spots, in has not yet been seen growing on the mainland of 
Kerry by R.W.S. The plant appears to be very rare in the 
adjoining counties of Limerick and Clare and is stated by 
Mr. R. A. Phillips to be also rare in the county Cork.
