IRISH PLANTS COLLECTED IN JUNE, 1896. 499 Allium ? ScJmnoprasum L. 9. Towards the end of my former stay at Clonbur I had met with a small garlic growing upon a rocky headland of L. Mask, between two and three miles E. of Clonbur, which, except in point of size, reminded me a good deal of the Lizard A. slbiricum. This year, to my great disappointment, not a vestige of it was to be seen there ; but a careful search resulted in the discovery of four or five fresh stations (all on the limestone), scattered over an area of two miles or thereabouts. Not a single flowering plant could be found ; indeed, most of the speci- mens were but an inch or two in height, growing as they did in shallow, rocky soil, exposed to the effects of a ten weeks' drought. In my garden the leaves of last year's specimens were six or eight inches long, showing much resemblance to the Cornish chives ; the two plants are, however, clearly distinct. The habit, small bulbs, and aggregated growth are quite right for A. Schcenoprasuin, but flowers are requisite for a certain determination. I feel no doubt at all that this is native; it occurs within 150 yards of W. Galway, and probably extends into that county, though I searched diligently for it without success. Lemna trisulca L. 9. Claremorris Lake and adjoining ditches. Potamogeton Friesii Rupr. 9. With the last. — P. pusilhis L., var. teyiuissimus Koch. 4. Slow stream half a mile N. of Wexford Harbour, and about three miles from the town. — P. pectinatus L. 4. In a large lagoon or lake, where there is a swannery, N. of and adjoining Wexford Harbour. — P. mterruptus Kit. 4. Ditches on the S. side of Wexford Harbour; apparently var. scoparius. Ruppia rostellata Koch. 4. Very plentiful on the mud-flats, 5. side of Wexford Harbour, as are Zostera ^marina L. var. angusti- folia Fr. and Z. najia Eoth. Eleocharis uniglumis Reichb. 4. Marsh ditches to the N. of Wexford Harbour. Carex teretluscula Good. 9. Between Claremorris Lake and the railway- station. C. disticha grows close by. — C. pendula Huds. 9. By L. Corrib, in the grounds of Ashford House, near Cong. Possibly introduced, but looking like a native ; the locality is in a rather remote part of the demesne. — C. extensa Good., var. pumila Anders. 4. S.E. side of Wexford Harbour; well-marked. ' I also saw the type, not far off. — C. chy sites Link. {G. fiava var. cyperoides Marss.). 4. E. side of Wexford Harbour. Trisetum pratetise Vers. 4.

Agropyron pungens R. & S., var. aristaturn JRarL: (teste Hackel). 4. Sea-wall N. side of Wexford Harbour. ^.u v, . < >> ,..,. Elymus arenarius L. 4. In several places both on the N. and S. sides of Wexford Harbour. I cannot see any good reason to doubt that it is native here. Lastrcea cBmula Brackenbridge. 4. Roadside near Wexford. Chara connivens Braun. 4. N. of Wexford Harbour, in the lake or lagoon mentioned above. An addition to the Irish list. With
