Notes. 



221 



Lycopodiuiii inundaiion, the previously known range of which in Ireland 

 consisted of a few stations in West Cork, one in North Kerry, and two 

 in West Galway. The species new to Achill are marked with an 

 asterisk. 



Cochlearia danica. — At the signal tower. 



Hieraciuni anglicu/n—On an inaccessible ledge on the Slieve More scarp, 

 at about 1,500 feet. No doubt the plant noted by H. C. Hart under 

 this name, and one of the four plants recorded from Achill which 

 I did not find previously. 



Arctoslaphylos 6 7Az-///'y/.— Plentiful on the signal tower hill. 



Salix hcrbacea. — Rocks at west end of Slieve More, about 1,500-1,700 feet. 

 *Ceterach officinaruni. — Plentiful on the wall surrounding the signal tower^ 

 elevation about 800 feet. A strangely isolated and exposed 

 station for this fern. It was accompanied by A. Adiantum-nigrutn 

 and A. Trichojiianes. 

 *Lastrea Oteopteris. — One good clump in a ditch S.W. of Dugort. A very 

 rare plant in West Mayo. 



hoetcs /fl'^r/^y/r/j-.— Abundant in Bunnafreva Lough East, with a vast 

 quantity oi Lobelia Dortmanna. 



Lycopodium inundatiun. — This, one of the rarest plants which Achill 

 jdelds, was found at the place which of all others on the island has 

 been most frequently visited by botanists, namely, Sraheens Lough, 

 on the west shore of the lake.

 Plants of the Ben Bulben District. 



Epilobium angiistifoliiim. —On Gleuade cliffs the ordinary deep rose form 

 is accompanied by a plant with red sepals and delicate pink petals, 

 forming a really beautiful sight. 



Euphrasia Salisbiirgeusis, — This is abundant on both sides of Glenade, 

 among the alpine plants. Here on the cliffs it grows more lax and 

 less branched, with larger greener leaves, than the little bushy brown 

 form of the limestone pavements. I have it also from Glencar and 

 Annacoona, in Sligo, from which county it is hitherto unrecorded. 



Ulmus inonta7ia.—QX^2Lx\y native on limestone cliffs among Taxus, Pyrus 

 Aria, &c., far from planted trees or woods, on the north side of 

 Glenade. New to the Ben Bulben district. 



Agropyron canimun. — Also an addition to the Ben Bulben flora ; growing 

 with the last. This grass seems particularly partial to dry limestone 

 cliflfs. 



Equisetiini hyemale. — By the Bonet River, near Lurganboy. This station 

 helps to fill a large gap in its distribution, its only recorded 

 Connaught stations being far south — in Clare and S.E. Galway. 

 A number of other plants, additions to the flora of Sligo or Leitrim, in 

 themselves not rare species, will be duly mentioned in my next annual 

 summary. The above were collected in August last.
