thulate obtuse glabrous thickish narrowed into the slightly 
ciliated petiole crenate with a thin membranaceous margin, 
scape panicled. Loud. Journ. Bot. vii. p. 570. t. 19. 
Moist cliffs, on a mountain at the extreme termination of Glen Ca- 
rngli, Kerry. W. Andrews, Esq. If.. 6. — Of this we have abridged 
Dr. Harvey’s specific character, having only seen one or two garden 
specimens : from what we have learned, however, this supposed species 
is a hybrid between S. umbrosa and S', ligulala, raised in the Dublin 
Botanic Gardens ; and consequently there must be a mistake in 
assigning to it the above station.]
