The Rev. Dr. Hincks on the Flora of Ireland. 129 



mentioned that Smith states it as found wild at Ballymaloe, 

 county Cork. 



p. 39. Hypericum elegantissimum non ramosum of Threlkeld, 

 is given by Sir J. E. Smith as a synonym of Hypericum mon- 

 tanum. I find J. White, a gardener of the D. S., quoted as 

 having found this last on mountains in the county Louth. 

 Underwood, in his catalogue, 1804, says it is found in 

 Ireland. 



p. 49. I consulted the Herbarium of the Cork Institution in 

 1839, and found there the Cerastium aquaticum as gathered 

 by Mr. Drummond on the banks of the Lee. 



p. 76. Astragalus hypoglottis. The largest of the south isles 

 of Arran is quoted for this plant as found by Messrs. Ball 

 and Thompson in 1834, as it should be, instead of 1804. 

 Smith says that he found it in the mountains about Kil- 

 larney, county Kerry. 



p. 79. Trifolium procumbens, yS. Hooker, campestre, found 

 by Mr. Templeton at Blackhead and Dunluce Castle, county 

 Antrim. 



p. 85, Hedysarum Onobrychis, or Onobrychis sativa,Hooker. 

 This plant is stated to have been found by J. White, and was 

 admitted as Irish in Underwoods catalogue. Mr. Templeton 

 has recorded that he saw it among Mr. Molden's specimens, 

 gathered between the Black Rock and Malpas's Monument, 

 on a calcareous soil. I am sure, however, that it was in Mr. 

 Templeton's list of introduced plants, which included many 

 that have been inserted. 



p. 86. Spiraea filipendula is in Molyneux's list, sent to 

 Threlkeld. Was it on this authority that Underwood inserted 

 it as Irish ? I observe Mr. Mackay has not inserted it. 



p. 110. Epilobium roseum. I was surprised to find this 

 wanting in the list. The entry in Mr. Templeton 5 s hand- 

 writing is, " E. roseum, E. Bot. 693, found and determined in 

 the Orchard, Aug. 13, 1820." When we consider how par- 

 ticular Mr. Templeton was about admitting doubtful plants, 

 and that he was a remarkably close and accurate observer, 

 this plant has more claim to admission than many which 

 have been inserted on a single authority. 



p. 116. Peucedanum Ostruthium, a habitat in the county 

 Down, is given on Mr. Campbell's authority, but no more said. 

 Threlkeld has Peucedanum, Hogs' Fennel, ditches near the 

 sea, which is a likely habitat. K'Eogh mentions it, and 

 Smith, both in his 'Waterford' and c Kerry/ stating S.E. 

 of Passage in the former county as a habitat. Dr. Barker 

 wrote to Mr. T. that he had found a Peucedanum in the 

 county Waterford, but the species is not mentioned.
