t Westmeai?h plants. 121 Euphrasia officinalis L. var. ^' Rostkoviana Hayne. Bog of Lynn, near Mullingar. Rhinanthus Crista-galli L. var. "^fallax Wimm. & Grab. Bog of Lynn, near Mullingar, in some quantity; much like R. major Eiirh. at first sight. Melampyrum pratense L. var. latifolium Bab. Knock Eyon, by L. Deraveragh ; a leaf variety that shades off gradually to the type. ^^' Utncularia intermedia Hayne, Looked for in several likely localities, but found only on the Tullaghan Bog, by L. Owel ; not flowering, though U. vulgaris L. was blooming freely both at this point and at the other end of the lough. ^ Chenopodium. rubrum L. Occurring on the verge of L. Drin, and also on wet ground usually submerged at Lord Longford's landing-stage on L. Deraveragh. ^^Poiygonum rnacidatum Trimen & Dyer. On the shore of L. Dera- veragh, under Knock Body ; scarce. — -^'Rumex crispus x obtusifolius. Knock Drm. "^Salix triandra L. Ditch-bank between Knock Drin and Quarry Bog. — "'aS. Caprea x viminaUs [S. rugosa Leefe). Eoadsides, Knock Drin to Quarry Bog and to Mullingar. — *S. aurita x Caprea (S. Capreoia J. Kern.). Donore, L. Deraveragh. — "^^S. aurita x cinerea {S. lutescens Kern.). L. Deraveragh. — *^'. aurita x nigricans. Though only foliage was seen, there can be no reasonable doubt that one large strong bush of this hybrid occurred. The stipules and the cut, wriukhng and thick texture of the leaves, as well as their modified blackening, gave good evidence of aurita. It is likely enough that this bush was native, judging from its situation; it was not evidently planted, as was the case with the one or two subalpine forms that follow. — -S. aurita x repens. A good inter- mediate form occurred at the Scraw Bog, and one or two other forms connecting it with repens. Our attention was drawn to the plants by Mr. Levinge. — S. cinerea L. f. olei/olia (Sm.). A very narrow-leaved example (which was certainly not crossed by S. aurita^ as some S. olei/olia has been found to be) occurred on the Bog of Lynn. — '^S. nigricans Sm. and *aS. fiigricans x phylicifolia. In some quantity by the mouth of the Yellow Kiver, L. Deraveragh, apparently planted ; not in a very healthy condition (our ho,st has since found out that this spot was formerly submerged, and was planted with willows, alders, &c., when the level of the lake was lowered).
- Epipactis media Fr. Woods at Knock Drin ; only one specimen
seen. Mr. Levinge had in a previous year noticed this species in another part of the grounds, and then, too, only a single specimen. — * Orchis incarnata L. By L. Deraveragh, under Knock Eyon; Bog of Lynn. Sparyanium ramosum Huds» var. *microcarpum Neuman. Road- side hollow near Quarry Bog. Potamogeton alpinus Balb. Drain from L. Drin. Rare and local in the district. — ■•'P. decipiens Nolte (P. lucens x perfoliatus). L. Deraveragh; fine and plentiful in one spot between large patches of the parent species. — *P. Friesii Rupr. End of L. Ennel
