WEIGHT — ON THE FLORA OF THE ISLANDS OF ARRAN. 99 



The season was too far advanced for many of the characteristic 

 Arran Islands plants ; still a good number of species were met with. 



Adopting the nomenclature of that important contribution to Irish 

 botany, the " Cybele Hibernica" of Dr. Moore and Mr. More, the fol- 

 lowing list contains the names of the species met with : — 



Ranunculus tricophyllus (Chaix), in some quantity near Bungowla, 



Inishmore. 

 R. heterophyllus (Sibth.), R. aquaticus, var. Bentham. 

 R. hederaceus (Linn.) R. aquaticus, var. Bentham. 

 R. lingua (Linn.), on the shore of the small Lough Atalia. Inishmore. 

 R. acris (Linn.) 

 R. repens (Linn.) 

 R. bulbosus (Linn.) 

 Aquilegia vulgaris (Linn.), growing apparently quite wild in several 



places on the large island. 

 Quite a colony of this species was found on the north-west side of 

 the island near Sheskra. 

 Papaver dubium (Linn.), on cultivated land in the vicinity of the vil- 



Pumaria officinalis (Linn.) 



[Matthiola sinuata (R. Br.) This species is mentioned in the " Flora 

 Hibernica" as taken on Straw Island, to the east of Killeany Bay. 

 I looked for it, but did not succeed in finding any trace of it.] 



Nasturtium officinale (R. Br.) 



Arabis hirsuta (R. Br.), not uncommon on Inishmore. 



A. ciliata (R. Br.), Inishmore. 



Sisymbrium officinale (Scop.) 



Cochlearia officinalis (Linn.) 



Thlaspi arvense (Linn.) 



Senebiera coronopus (Poiret). This species is not met with commonly 

 in the islands, but it grows in great profusion all about the villages 

 of Kilronan and KUleany, and appears to me to have been introduced 

 with the turf which the inhabitants import from the Connemara dis- 

 trict. 



Cakile maritima (Scop.) 



Crambe maritima (Linn.), Trawmore, Inishmore. 



Raphanus maritimus (Sm.), R. raphanistrum (Linn.), var. Bentham. 

 Inishmore. 



Reseda luteola (Linn.) 



Helianthemum canum (Dun.) 



Yiola sylvatica (Pries). 



Poly gala vulgaris (Linn.) 



Silene maritima (With.), S. inflata (Sm.), var. Bentham, growing in 

 great abundance on the rocky shores of all the islands. 



Sagina procumbens (Linn.) 



S. maritima (Don.) 



S. subulata ( Wimm.). I gathered specimens of this species near Kilronan. 

 In the " Cybele Hibernica" this name is misspelt Kilmoran.
