I have often looked with some despair on the devious mere 

 spider line that, on even a large scale map, represents the 

 botanist's field of observation on his passage over the country. 

 There was, therefore, a certain satisfaction in discovering 

 independently, and without forethought, already published 

 stations for some of the rarest plants of the district. In this 

 manner I stumbled on Mr. O'Kelly's original station for 

 Limosella ; also what is probably the same observer's station for 

 Teucrium Scordmm ; and Rev. T. Warren's station for 

 Helianthc77mm vineale^ subsequently noted by Corry. 



The notes below refer, in addition to the above plants new 

 to Clare, mainly to species of which the Clare record rested 

 hitherto on a single station, sometimes of some antiquity, as 

 in the case of Leptiwus ftli/ormiSy recorded from Aran by 

 Mackay in 1806. 



*CIematl6 Vltal)t>a, L. — Established on rocky banks of the Fergus 



below Riverstown bridge. 

 Thallctrum colllnum, Wallr.— Lakelet a mile S.E. of Glasgeivnagh 



hill, and by Muckanagh L. 

 T. flavum, L. — Ballycar, Inchicronan L., Ballycullinan Iv., and east end 



of Dromore Iv. 



Ranunculus circlnatus, Sibth.— L. Atedaun and Dromore Iv. 



R. peltatus, Fr.— Stream out of Inchicronan L., and (A\ elon^atiis, 



F. Schultz) in Inchiquiu L. 

 R. pseudo-flu itans, Baker and Foggitt. — Frequent in streams. 

 Nasturtium sylvcstre, R. Br.— Around Inchiquin L. ; thence very 



abundant down the Fergus and around Iv. Atedaun. Plentiful also 



round Drcmore L., especially on the southern shores. Much 



commoner in this district than N. palusire. 

 Helianthemum vincalc, Pers.— Glanquin Mountain, which I take 



to be the name of the limestone hill (marked 629 feet on O.vS. map), 



half a mile north of Coolreash Iv.— clearly the station described by 



Corry, and attributed by him to T. Warren. 

 Viola stagnlna, Kit.— Skaghard L., growing in " turlough" ground, 



so baked by the sun that only with difficulty could the characteristic 



thread-like soboles be dug out. 

 ♦Arenaria tcnuifolla, Iv.— On railway near Crusheen. 

 A. leptoclados, Guss.— Roadside near Moyrhee schoolhouse. 

 IVIalva rotundifolia, L.— Ballyportry castle.
