324 CYPERACEA. [Carex . 
Ascends to 700 feet on the Great Blasket Island (Praeger 
é& Stelfox), a most unusual height. 
First record in 1806: Mackay Rar. 
Although practically confined to the sea coast in Ireland, 
this plant is found in Kerry in one locality, Lough Yganavan, 
which is quite removed from any present maritime influence. 
It occurs there rather sparingly along the sandy east shore 
of the lake, which lies about a mile from the nearest sea at 
Castlemaine Harbour. Another unusual station for this 
sedge is reported by Messrs. Praeger & Stelfox who found 
it fringing the summits of the high cliffs on the Great Blasket 
Island up to 700 feet, where there was no trace of sand. 
On the Continent this plant, like Scirpus maritimus, quite 
loses its maritime exclusiveness and is found there in many 
inland stations.
