242 CHENOPODIACE. [Atriplex. 
Although this plant has not been seen recently in the 
county there is no reason to doubt its occurrence there. It 
is found in several localities about Cork Harbour on the one 
side and near Ballyvaughan in Co. Clare on the other. Dr. 
Smith’s old locality has been examined several times recently 
without success and the plant is very probably extinct there. 
Major Leeson Marshall of Callanafersy House states that the 
mouth of the River Maine has been much changed since 
Dr. Smith’s time. Large sums were spent about 1820 in 
embanking and reclaiming the low-lying slobs on both 
sides of the river and what was then tide-riven waste has 
now become in great measure pasture or meadow land. 
Mr. Moore’s record is unfortunately very vague, the distance 
“between Dingle and Castlemaine Bay ” representing fully 
twenty-five miles of coast-line, much of it very difficult to 
examine.
