1905. 



LSW. — Notes on some Hepatics of Ulste7, 



indicated, is of course Woodburn Glen, and there on the occasion of a 

 visit by the Belfast Naturalists' Field Club in 1885, I found a patch of 

 is plant. I found it also on Cave Hill, on rocks east of the first cave, 

 ist June, 1901. 



Plajrlochlla tridentlculata, Tayl.— On this Templeton's remarks 

 BXQ: /ungermania spinulosa, var. iridentiailaia, with a surculus scarcely 

 an inch high, and a few small leaves with tridentate apices, Brit. Jung., 

 var. 13. Common on the rocks of the Cave Hill, near Belfast." He gives 

 a coloured drawing of what he names ftaig. decipiens" but which is 

 undoubtedly the above Cave Hill plant. This I have myself gathered 

 on several occasions on the rocks north-east of the first cave. And to 

 this drawing of his decipiens,"" Templeton has this note: — "Without 

 the rigidity is supposed sufl&cient, I can scarcely reckon this, and var. 

 tridmticulata of the foregoing distinct." Templeton's tridenticulata is a 

 larger plant than Taylor's and Carrington's, from the Co. Kerry, which 

 still abounds at the Tore Waterfall and on Brandon Mountain. Temple- 

 ton was uncertain as to A. decipiens and his tndentiailaia being inseparable. 



Meaophylla '* [Wylla] compressa (Hook.), near Belfast." — 

 Occurs in abundance in many of the streamlets amongst the Mourne 

 Mountains, where Mr. Waddell and I have often gathered it. It does 

 not appear to have been found by recent botanists in the county of 

 Antrim. 



Cephalozla curvlfolla (Dicks.)— Templeton's locality is:— ** Found 

 in the crannies of rocks at Binian [Slieve Bingian], Mourne Mountains.'' 

 I met with it on the sheep tracks amongst the heather, about half way 

 up the slope on the north side of the Hen Mountain, near Hilltown, 

 1898. 



Cephalozla dlvarlcata, Sm.— Templeton knew this plant as /ung. 

 byssacea, the name under which it is figured in Hooker's Jungermaniae. 

 Mr. Stewart seems to have been doubtfully of this opinion, when at 

 p. 232 of the Flora of the N.E. of I. he wrote of C. divaricata, which 

 Mr. Waddell and I found in the Mourne Mountains, &c. :— "This was 

 probably the plant noted by Templeton as C. byssacea, occurring at 

 Lambeg, &c.", and yet in the next page he placed it in the list of 

 ** Erroneous, &c." Moore, in his Irish Hepaticie, enumerated byssacea as 

 distinct from divaricata, while acknowledging that he was "by no means 

 clear about the characters which distinguish " them. Husnot in Hep. 

 Gall, makes byssacea a var. of divaricata, and " more common than the 

 typical plant." 



Jungermania Inclsa, Schrad., " found in Lambeg Bog " by 

 Templeton. The specimens of this plant which I have from the north- 

 east district are from Rasharkin Bog, 1889 ; and Ballygowan Bog, and a 

 small bog one mile west of Saintfield, Co. Down, 1898, Lett and 

 Waddell; it was plentiful in both localities, creeping over decaying 

 Sphagnum and other mosses in very wet spots. 



Aplozia pu ml la (With.).— Templeton records Jung, pumila common 

 on bare ground about Belfast," and he gives two drawings iu which two
