Lktt — Notes on some Hepatics of Ulster 



179 



Aplozia cordlfolla, Hook.— Templeton (MSS.) found this plant in 

 the Mourne Mountains. In Moore's album of mounted specimens of 

 Co. Antrim mosses and hepatics, now kept in the Science and Art 

 Museum herbarium, Dublin, there is a specimen of this plant, with 

 the note — "Frequent in the northern glens, especially near waterfalls, 

 always barren." And he records it in his Report on Irish Hepaticae 

 (1876) from the " river which flows to Cusheudun, Co. Antrim, three 

 quarters of a mile above the village, 1836." But it has not been since 

 found in either county. It may be mentioned here that it was while 

 searching for this plant in the Cushendun River that the Rev. S. A. 

 Brenan discovered Riccia glancescens.
