 498 IRISH PLANTS COLLECTED IN JUNE, 1896. Blox. 9. Thicket by L. Corrib, two miles S. of Cong; most characteristic, with very large peach-pink flowers, and styles ex- ceeding the stamens. — R. casius L. 4. Sandhills near Kosslare. An allied plant, which I believe to be specifically distinct, is frequent about Clonbur, in both counties, and occurs near Wexford. Mr. Kogers cannot name it at present. Potentilla procumbens Sibth. 4. Near Wexford. — P. reptans x silvestris? 4. About three miles from Wexford, for twenty yards or so along a roadside hedge. Intermediate in most respects, though also having a certain look of P. procumbens ; but the stipules are usually trifid. Rosa pimpinellifolia X tomentosa {R. involuta Smith, var.). 8. On limestone between Cong and Clonbur. I also found this in several fresh stations near Clonbur, in E. Mayo. R. tomentosa is remark- ably abundant on the limestone S. of L. Mask, in both counties, having as a rule the stiff, dwarfer habit and straightish prickles which usually help to distinguish R. mollis. It was gathered near Wexford, in two different forms. — R. rubiginosa L. 4. In a hedge about two miles W. of Wexford ; remote from houses, but probably bird-sown. — R. sepium Thuill. 9. Abundant by the shore of L. Corrib, two or three miles S. of Cong; a handsome plant, uniformly white-flowered, which M. Crepin calls a variety, but without giving it any special name. ^*<'' Caucalis nodosa Scop. 4. Banks N. of Wexford Harbour. " Galium verum L. 4. A' small, prostrate, pale-flowered form, abundant on the Rosslare sandhills, seems to be the var. mari- timum DC. Picris echioides L. 4. Embankment on the N. side of Wexford Harbour. Only two or three plants were seen. Utricularia intermedia Hayne. 9. In a ditch near L. Corrib, about a mile and a half S. of Cong. Salvia Verbenaca L. 4. Roadside banks, Rosslare. Marrvhium also occurs here, but is evidently an escape. Chenopodium rubrum L. 4. The var. pseudo-botryoides Watson is associated with the type in hollows among the sandhills at Rosslare. ^y^'^' Polygonum maculatum Trimen & Dy^f. •"4^.^'One plant was found oh the quay at Wexford, where it is apparently a mere casual. Orchis incarnata L. 4. Sandhills and rushy pastures both N. and S. of Wexford Harbour. 9. Moory ground S. of Cong. Ophrys apifera Huds. 8. On a hill just behind the village of Clonbur. ...i. ;. . ^j ..;..j. Habenaria bifolia K;'*^Bri^ '•'9. '"Extraordinarily plentiful this season about Claremorris and Hollymount ; also seen near Cong. Sisyrijichium californicum Dryander. The strange occurrence of this W. American plant near Rosslare, already recorded on p. 366, is still a complete puzzle to me, in the absence of precise local knowledge. AH I can at present say is that I never saw anything look less like an alien, and that the introduction of this species, which does not appear to be a garden favourite, is difficult to account for by the surroundings^; auwujjjii u^ jyvjwj> umouiii^ai u' -
