Though he knew no certain p!ace where it grew Spon- 
taneous, not having met with it in all his Travels ; nor 
any Author mentioning its native Country, yet he 
rightly conje(9-ures 'tis a Mountainous PJanr, for it grows 
plentifully here with us in Ireland, on a Mouara'n cali'd 
the Min'^erton in Kerry^ Six or Seven Miles over, and 
reputed ciie h ghelt in Ireland^ T wo Miies from the 
Town of KiUarny, and Four Miles from the Caftle of 
Rofs : Here it fpreads it fslf fo abundantiy. as to cover 
great part of the Mountain, and for as much as I un- 
derftandj like the Arlutus, 'tis peculiar to this County 
alone. 
Whethe/ both the foregoing Tlanta are truly Ameri- 
can^ \ cannot at prefent determine, but this I know, 
that Sahina Fulgaris, or Comr/ion Savin is mentioned 
by Mr. Jcjfeiyn, in the Book before quoted, as a Plant 
common on theHiJls of New- England ; and I have been 
allured by an Apothecary of this Town, that he has ga- 
thered Savin growing wild as a native Shr^b in one cf 
the iflands of Lougl^L^ne, in the Qounty oi Kerry and 
if lb, I have reafon to believe, that hereafter farther In»

amples of Things Natural and Common to ^.hat and 
this Country.
