In all its Kerry stations P. nemoralis is open to the very 
gravest suspicion of having been accidently introduced. 
Without exception the stations are all situated in demesnes 
or hear residences, with introduced shrubs or flowers growing 
in the immediate neighbourhood. It appears, moreover, 
to be quite absent from the many suitable localities found in 
the older and more remote woods about the Killarney Lakes 
and elsewhere in the county. Although undoubtedly native 
in parts of Ireland, this grass has little or no claim to be 
considered so in Kerry, where it has been most probably 
introduced with grass or flower seeds, or, perhaps, in the 
packing around the roots of imported shrubs. This species 
is a favourite constituent of grass mixtures sold by seedsmen 
for sowing in shady places.

Var. GuABRA Doell—var. KorLert DC. This form has 
been gathered in several places and is probably not in- 
frequent. 
[P. Batrourt Parn. This alpine grass was thought by 
Dr. Balfour to have been gathered by him on Brandon in 
August 1852—vide Phytol. 1853, p. 1005. The record, 
however, has not been repeated by him and was most 
probably found to be an error, or the result of some accidental 
mixing of specimens from other localities ; it is not known 
to occur in Ireland.]
