250 POLYGONACE. {[Rumen. 
First record in 1881: Barrington, Proc. R.I.A. 
Var. TRIGRANULATUS Syme—this appears to be a common 
form around the Kerry coast. 
R. acutus Linn. R. pratensis Mert. & Koch. R. crispus x 
obtusifolius. 
VI. At Killarney (Babington) Cyb. 1866—no doubt over- 
looked elsewhere. 
R. Hydrolapathum Huds. Water Dock. 
District — — — — WY —- — — — 
Native. Around the margin of a lake and adjoining swampy 
ground. Very rare and local. Peren. July—August. 
V. On the south side of the lake at Castlegregory and in 
heavy marshes to the west of it: Hart 1884. Still in both 
these localities and more sparingly on the north and east 
sides of the lake, 1907: R.W.S. 
First record in 1884: Hart, Proc. R.I.A. 
Mr. Hart’s Castlegregory station still remains the only 
locality for this Dock in Kerry. Considering the many 
suitable spots there are, it is surprising to find this plant one 
of the very rarest species in the Kerry flora. It occurs in 
the adjoining counties, Cork, Limerick and Clare, but 
appears to be rare in all of them.
