holes at the north end of Caragh Lake (Dr. Battersby) Rec. 
Add. 1872. Still in three or four small bog pools about half

the two Loughs Nambrackdarrig about two miles north- 
west of Caragh, 1900 & 1906 ; these are the most northerly 
localities at present known for this plant in Kerry.—IV. At 
the south-east corner of Caragh Lake and at intervals along 
its east side, 1889-1913 ; abundant in Lough Licka about

From sea-level, to about 600 feet in Lough Licka (R.W.S.). 
First record in Cyb. 1866 : Carroll & T. Wright. 
This species, like the preceding, belongs to the North 
American group of plants native in Ireland. It appears to 
have a restricted and irregular distribution in Kerry. Thus 
it is found in many localities on the south side of Kenmare 
Bay, while on the north side it is known in one spot only. 
It occurs in one at least of the lakes which form the head 
waters of Lough Currane, and is abundant in Caragh Lake 
and its vicinity, but is absent from the entire Killarney 
district as well as from the Dingle peninsula. It appears, 
indeed, to be quite confined to the south-west corner of the 
county, a line drawn from Killorglin to Kenmare and thence 
to Glengarriff would inclose all the localities at present 
known. Along the west coast of Ireland it is found at 
intervals from near Adrigole in County Cork to Mullaghderg 
in Donegal, being especially abundant in west Galway and 
Mayo. This gives the plant a range of 3} degrees, or within 
half a degree of the whole extent of Ireland. Elsewhere in 
the British Isles it is known only from two localities on the 
west coast of Scotland—the islands of Skye and Coll. It is 
not known to occur on the continent of Europe. In North 
America, the Hriocaulon has a very wide range indeed, 
extending across the continent from Newfoundland to 
Minnesota in the north and from Florida to Texas in the 
south.
