IRISH PLANTS COLLECTED IN JUNE, 1896. 497 Lavatera arbor ea L. 4. A single specimen was found on the N. embankment of Wexford Harbour ; it may have been derived from a cottage garden on the opposite shore, where I saw this growing. Linum angustifolium Huds. 4. Pastures and grassy banks near Wexford, not unfrequent. Distrusted as a native by Messrs. Barrett-Hamilton and Moffat ; on what grounds I do not know, as I never saw it looking more thoroughly wild, and the authors of the Cybele appear to accept it as such. Geranium columhinum 'L* ^%i Near the S.E. end of L. Mask; scarce. '^i'-' ^'^ Erodium cicutarium L'Herit. 4. A densely glandular form grows plentifully on the Rosslare sandhills ; it is probably the var. glayidulosum Bosch, and may be identical with E. ghitmosum Dumort. E. moschatum was found sparingly on the outskirts of Wexford. Trifolium arvense L. 4. Near the S.E. shore of Wexford Harbour, in small quantity. Rubus cariensis Rip. & Genev. 4. Near Wexford. New to Ireland, and only known in England from Devon and Dorset. — R. incurratus Bab. 4. Near Wexford. 8. Clonbur ; a limestone form, and not quite typical. — R. rhamnifolnis Wh. & N. (sp. coll.). 4. Rosslare. I believe, the usual English plant [R. cardiophyllus Lef. & MuelL). 8. Shore of L. Corrib, about three miles W. of Cong ; a very pretty little form, remarkably erect, with small petals, which is identical with Surrey specimens gathered by Capt. Wolley Dod on Ham Common and Barnes Common. — R. jmlcherrimus Neuman. 4. Rosslare. — R. Selmeri Lindeb. 8, 9. Frequent about Clonbur and Cong. — Pi. ScJilechtendalii Weihe. 4. Near Wexford. R. Sjyrengelii Weihe. 4. About two miles W. of Wexford ; only one bush was met with. — R. hirtifoliusMneW. &Wirtg. 8. In a thicket by L. Corrib, about three miles W. of Cong. — R. danicus Focke. 4. Near Wexford. 9. On limestone S. of L. Mask; ** very like Gelert's R. danicus var. divergens from Flensborg, which seems to go off from Focke' s plant towards leucostachijs and micans " (Rogers). — R. pyramidalis Kalt. 4. W. of Wexford. — R. leucostachys Schleich. 4. About Wexford. The var. angustifolius Rogers (new to Ireland) is frequent by roadsides, and exceedingly well-marked. — R. 'Borreri Bell Salt. 4. In several spots near Wexford. — R. Ley anus Rogers. Near Wexford; "one of the more weakly armed forms" (Rogers). — R. Radula Weihe. 9. I certainly saw this (on limestone) near the S.E. end of L. Mask, and believe it to have been the var. anglicanus Rogers ; but the panicles being immature, no specimens were taken, and I failed to meet with it again. — R. scaber Wh. & N. 8. Shore of L. Corrib, two or three miles W. of Cong ; also about Clonbur, but apparently rare and local. — R.fuscus Wh. & N. 8, 9. A form (or variety) of this is frequent about Clonbur and Cong. — R. hirtus W. & K., var. rubiginosus (P. J. Muell.). 4. Remarkably abundant to the W. and N.W. of Wexford ; a beautiful bramble. New to Ireland. — R. dumetorum Wh. & N. (sp. coll.). 4. Road- sides about Wexford. R. corylifolius Sm. (sp. coll.) occurs in similar situations ; I did not see good sublustris. — R. Balfourianus
