‘Near the Upper Lake at Killarney (Herb. Mackay) Cyb. 1866. 
This record is most probably an error. The plant has not 
been seen in the county by any recent observer, nor does 
C. vulpina, one of the parents of this hybrid, appear to grow 
about the Killarney Lakes. Many of the specimens in 
Mackay’s Herbarium are known to have been obtained from 
the Botanic Garden, and were only inserted to represent the 
species. Very possibly the plant found by Mackay was 
Carex filiformis which occurs in some abundance near the 
extreme southern end of the Upper Lake and along the Back 
Channel, Killarney.]
