First record in 1804: Wade Rar—as Serapias latifolia. 
Var. MEDIA (Fries)—VI. About the Muckross woods, 
Killarney (Babington) Cyb. 1866 &. (Levinge) Cyb. 1898. 
Var. atrovirnivis (W. R. Linton)—VI. Abundant about 
the old mines on Ross Island, Killarney, 1902 (Marshall, 
Shoolbred & R.W.S.) Marshall, Journ. of Bot. 1910, p. 109. 
In Muckross demesne near the old mines on the Middle Lake, 
1910: R.W.S. 
There can be but little doubt that the Killarney plant 
recorded as Serapias latifolia by Wade and Epipactis latifolia 
by Mackay, as well as that recorded from the same locality 
by Babington and Levinge as H. media, should be referred 
to the recently segregated E'pipactis atroviridis which was 
described and figured by the Rev. W. R. Linton in his 
Flora of Derbyshire, p. 270 (1903). Whether restricted 
E. media or type EH. latifolia really occur in Kerry is very 
doubtful ; certainly the Ballinruddery as well as the Glen- 
flesk Castle plant appear to fit the description of HZ. atroviridis 
as perfectly as those from Ross Island. Outside the imme- 
diate vicinity of the Lower and Middle Killarney Lakes, 
H. latifolia in any form, is one of the rarest plants in the 
county where it shows decided calcicole tendencies.
