114 PLANTS FOUND IN KERRY.
innumerable leaf-forms of these two plants, before picking out
any one of tbem and giving it specific rank.—/S. umhrosa var.
punctata Don. Horses Glen, Mangerton. — Var. serratifolia Don.
Blackwater Bridge, Kenmare Bay.
Drosera anglica var. obovata (M. & K.). I. Large bog in Glencar
Valley ; a rare variety in Kerry, where the typical amjlica is
common.
Anthriscus sylvestris Hoffm. Along the Blackwater River, Kenmare
Bay ; the only locality so far known to me in Kerry.
\Sarnbucus Ebulus L. Hedges near Darrynane and Ballybunnion.
Rubia peregrina L. Several places about Darrynane and
Kenmare.
Antennaria dioica R. Br. Near the Cloonee Lakes, Kenmare
Bay, a little above sea level. This plant is usually montane and
very rare in Kerry.
'^Senecio vulgaris L., var. For the last two summers I have
noticed a Senecio growing abundantly about the railway-station and
along the line at Killarney. It differs, apparently, in nothing
from the rayed -form of S. vulgaris, except that the rays are never
revolute. I was interested to see the same plant growing plentifully
with S. squalidus about the railway, &c., in Cork; this is no
doubt the plant found here by Mr. Carroll, for which the names
of hihernica and vernalis have been suggested. It has evidently
now spread to Killarney by railway transport, and maintains itself
there unchanged. Mr. N. Colgan noticed this Senecio about Killarney
in 1886, and it seems strange there is still no sign of S.
squalidus, though the latter is the more abundant in Cork. For my
own part, I am satisfied to call the plant S. vulgaris var. radiatus
Koch.
ICarduus 2^ycnocephalus Jacq. About Ballinskelligs Castle and
very rare in Kerry.
Abbey, and sparingly near Ballybunnion ;
Hieraciwn anglicum Fr. Shores of Tore Lake, Killarney ; Paps
Mts. ; and Horses Glen, Mangerton. — H. iricum Fr. Shores of
Lower and Tore Lakes, Killarney, and Paps Mts. H. murontm L.
pt. I. Woody bank near Glenflesk Castle, Killarney.
Lactuca muralis Fresen. I.
I Several plants were noticed, growing
in the shrubberies near Glenflesk Castle, Killarney. I have not
yet found it elsewhere in Kerry, and as it is one of our rarest
Irish species, the plant may not be indigenous here.
Wahlenbergia hederacea Reichb. By the River Roughty, near
Kenmare, and along the Blackwater, Kenmare Bay.
Arbutus Unedo L. Several old and half-dead trees m the cliffs
on the south side of Waterville Lake.
Microcala Jiliformis Link. Very abundant along Kenmare Bay,
on roadsides, wet fields, bogs, &c. ;
round Balhnskelligs Bay.
Blackstonia j^erfoliata Huds. Two or three spots near Ballybunnion
; very rare in Kerry.
\Solanum nigrum L. Sparingly by the shore in one or two
places near Kenmare Bay.
Orobaiiche Hedera Duby. Several localities about Darrynane.
