This ornamental bush appears to be thoroughly estab- 
lished in District V. It may be seen also in gardens or 
shrubberies in various parts of the county although not 
commonly met with. Dr. Smith in his Hist. of Kerry, 1756, 
p. 180, note (p), strongly recommends this bush, then little 
known, to the Kerry landlords as one likely to succeed on 
the coast ; it has not, however, thriven so well there as he 
confidently expected. Its introduction has met with much 
greater success on the less exposed coast of Wexford where 
this bush is thriving and spreading in several localities.
