PREFACE. ce For many years before his death in the spring of 1895, the publi- cation of a new edition of Cybele Hibernica was kept steadily in view by the surviving editor of the first edition, our valued friend, Alex- ander Goodman More. So early as 1885, the Royal Irish Academy had associated itself with the undertaking by granting hima sum of fifty pounds for the preparation of a report on the Distribution of Plants in Ireland, it being understood that this report should form the groundwork of the new edition. When two years later he was obliged by severe and long continued illness to resign the curatorship of the Dublin Natural History Museum, it was hoped by all inte~ rested in Irish botany that health and strength might be granted him to finish the onerous work he had taken in hand. But as time passed, it became more and more perceptible that his failing bodily powers were unequal to the task. The intervals of comparatively good health which he enjoyed in his retirement enabled him, indeed, to bring together a large mass of material, published and unpublished, and to decide many doubtful points which his unrivalled judgment peculiarly fitted him for dealing with. This material, with his annotations, was embodied in an interleaved copy of the first edition, to be presented in due course to the Royal Irish Academy and to serve as the report which he had been commissioned by that body to prepare. But beyond this point his flagging energies failed to carry him ; and when he finally passed away from us, the work remained sadly incomplete. He had taken steps, however, to ensure that his undertaking should not die with him. He. had set apart private funds to meet the expenses of publication, and left among his papers b vi PREFACE. an expression of his wish that the present editors should take up and complete the work which filled so large a place in his thoughts towards the close of his life. Obedience to a wish so expressed was for us a simple duty, and we undertook its discharge all the more cheerfully, as we felt that the close intimacy which we had enjoyed with our friend in his latter years had given us a fuller acquaintance with his views than was possessed by other Irish botanists. In carrying on the work to its conclusion it has been our aim to give full effect to these views so far as they are known to us. Out- side the limits so set, we have freely exercised our own judgment, with the result that several innovations have been introduced. As some of these may give rise to unfavourable criticism, it seems only just that we should mention them here, and accept full responsibility for them. The more important of these new features, many of which will be further explained in the Introduction, fall under nine headings :—(1) Re-arrangement of the orders, genera, and species in accordance with the sequence adopted in the ninth edition of the London Catalogue, 1895 ; (2) Extension of the scope of the work so as to include the Characee; (3) The use of Roman numerals to denote the districts; (4) Reference to the soil-relations of plants where well-marked ; (5) Systematic indication of the sources whence previously published records are drawn; (6) Vertical ranges of all species not distinctly lowland ; (7) Introduction of the more widely current Irish plant-names; (8) The relegation to one comprehensive appendix of all plants not entitled toa place in the body of the work ; and (9) The inclusion in a single index of the scientific names, synonyms and trivial names of all plants referred to. For the revi- sion of the nomenclature, too, we accept responsibility, as well as for the expansion and re-casting of the Introduction. Some of these innovations, and notably that which deals with the citation of previously published records, have added seriously to the labour of digesting the large mass of material accumulated by the researches of a whole generation of Irish botanists; and the result has been to delay for upwards of two years the completion of a work which could only be taken up in our leisure hours. But this PREFACE. vii delay has been rather advantageous than otherwise, since it has enabled us with the ready help of some valued correspondents to secure much further information, the need of which became apparent only as the work went on. In the first place, our thanks are due to Miss Frances UM. More, for unwearied assistance in the preparation of this new edition. A botanist of no mean attainments herself, she has been able to give us material help in the examination of her brother’s books, manu- scripts, and correspondence, while her general acquaintance with his views has qualified her to make many suggestions of which -we have not been slow to profit. For much additional information, as to the range of plants in north-east Ireland, and for aid in clearing up many obscure points in the botanical literature relating to that district, we are indebted to Ur. S. A. Stewart, of Belfast, who has at all times most cheerfully placed at our disposal his wide and accurate knowledge of the northern flora. Plant lists kindly pre- pared for us by Mrs. Leebody, of Londonderry, have been of much service in extending the known northern range of many species. At the opposite extremity of the island, in south-west Cork, valuable assistance has been rendered us by a competent botanist, Ur. R. A. Phillips, who has earned our warmest thanks by the unfailing zeal and courtesy with which he has followed up the many troublesome inquiries we have asked him to undertake. In the west, Miss M. F. Jackson, of Lisloughrey, Cong, has kindly supplied us with lists of plants observed chiefly round the head of Lough Corrib, and with some notes on current Irish plant-names. The labour of consulting and extracting from the earlier and less accessible works on the Irish flora has been lightened for us by Ur. C. B. Moffat’s friendly aid; the Rev. Wm. Colgan, of Inveran, Tar-Connaught, has helped us in the determination of current Irish plant-names; Ur. F. W. Moore, Director of the Glasnevin Botanic Gardens, has freely placed at our disposal the manuscripts and specimens of his father, the late Dr. David Moore; Dr. E. P. Wright, Professor of Botany in Trinity College, Dublin, has kindly given us facility of access to his botanical library, and supplied us with many interesting references to specimens preserved in the extensive b2 viii PREFACE. herbarium under his control; while Dr. Z. Johnson has rendered us- similar service in connection with the library and collections in his keeping in the Dublin Science and Art Museum. For notes supplied and for assistance given us in many other ways we are also indebted to Ur. R. UM, Barrington, of Fassaroe ; to Sir F. W. Brady, Bart. ; to Ur. F. W. Burbidge, curator of the Botanic Garden of Trinity College, Dublin; to Mr. G. H. Carpenter, of the Science and Art Museum ; to Miss U. Chearnley, of Cappoquin ; to the late Mr. F. £, Currey, of Lismore; to the Rev. C.F. @ Arcy, of Ballymena; to Ur. J. H. Davies, of Lisburn; to the Rev. W. W. Flemyng, of Port- law, Waterford; to I. Michel Gandoger, of Arnas, Villefranche ; to the Rev. 7. Hartley, of Borris, Carlow; to Mrs. I. E. Joyce, of St. Cleran’s, Craughwell; to IMiss Kinahan and to Miss A. G. Kinahan; to the Rev. H. W. Lett, of Aghaderg; to Miss Manders ; to Ur. P. B. O'Kelly, of Ballyvaughan; to Mr. R. Lloyd Praeger ; to Mr. R. P. Vowell, and to the Rev. C. H. Waddell, of Saintfield. Nor are our thanks exclusively due to Irish botanists. Assistance in many ways has been given us by English correspondents as. well. More especially are we under obligation to Ur. Arthur Bennett, of Croydon, whose unwearied courtesy, under what we fear must have been rather importunate demands on his leisure, we cannot too warmly acknowledge. But for the information freely supplied by him, and which he alone of all British botanists was in ‘a position to supply, it would have been impossible for us to institute, on recent and trustworthy data, those comparisons on various points between the English and Irish floras which we hope’ will be found to add to the interest of our Introduction. Mr. James Britten, of the British Museum, has kindly given us extracts from some of the earlier botanical works not readily accessible in Dublin, and from the manuscripts of Robert Brown in his possession; the Rev. E. S. Marshall has communicated to us some notes on the flora of South Wexford; the Rev. W. Moyle Rogers has permitted us to make use of many unpublished localities for the Irish Rubi; and Messrs. H. and J. Groves have given us their assistance in deciding some points of difficulty in the genera Callitriche and Zannichellia, PREFACE. ix and have enabled us to fill up from their unpublished notes several gaps in the distribution of the Irish Characee. If we have suc- ceeded in our endeavour to make this edition a full and accurate guide to plant distribution in Ireland, no small share of that success is due to the help of these valued correspondents, both English and Trish. A comparison of the first with the present edition of this work ‘will at once show how great an advance has been made in Irish topographical botany within the last thirty years. Amongst the influences which have contributed to this progress the foremost place must be given to the unobtrusive encouragement and guidance which was at all times freely given to the less experienced Irish botanists by Alexander Goodman More. His efforts to stimulate the younger generation of explorers were supported by the Royal Irish Academy, whose grants in aid of the botanical survey of Ireland were for the most part allocated in accordance with his views. By means of these grants a series of exhaustive and trustworthy reports on previously unexplored, or imperfectly explored, areas were procured. The mountain groups of Magillicuddy’s Reeks, of the Brandon peninsula, of Galway and Mayo, of the Galtees, the Com- meraghs, the Knockmealdowns, Ben Bulben, and the Mournes; the shores of Lough Erne, Lough Allen, Lough Ree, and the Shannon estuary; the coasts of Waterford and Wexford; the islands of Inishbofin, Rathlin, Lambay, and the Blaskets; all these have been carefully surveyed under the Academy’s well-considered scheme. And these researches have been largely supplemented of late by the more purely voluntary labours of many botanists, British as well as Irish, so that little is now wanting to complete our knowledge of the distribution of our flora, at least in its wider aspects. The next step in advance must be in the direction of a Topographical Botany of Ireland on the lines of H. C. Watson’s work dealing with the county distribution of plants in Great Britain; and such a work, we are glad to know, has already been taken in hands by one who is well qualified to bring it to a successful issue. No attempt will be made here to estimate the precise share con- tributed by each of many field-workers to the advance in Irish x PREFACE. botany which is marked by the publication of the present edition. The broad results alone are of general interest; but it seems only just that particular mention should be made of the services of Henry C. Hart, who has done more to further our knowledge of Irish plant distribution than any other explorer of recent years. In selecting from the large mass of records, many thousands in number, on which the present edition is based, a steady endeavour has been made to preserve the historical element while giving full prominence to the results of modern research. The great majority of the earlier records of unquestioned authority, dating chiefly from about the beginning of the present century, have been retained, but wherever possible each has been associated with a recent record for the same locality. In all cases, and they are not few, where such a revival of the older record has been effected, all the inter- mediate records have been passed over, and a considerable conden- sation of the matter has thus been brought about. At the same time recourse has been had, throughout, to the original or earliest records as distinguished from the numerous apparent confirmations in later works, which are in reality nothing more than unavowed quotations from the originals. In this way a still further condensa- tion has been made, and the space so gained has been given up to modern records showing the extension to new districts of the rarer species. With many of the less rare plants this extension might no doubt have been shown by simply inserting in its proper place the number of the new district. But it has seemed preferable, even at the risk of unduly expanding the text, to justify this extension of range by definite records. And, indeed, in some instances localities have been given in this edition for plants which were considered by the authors of the original work as not sufficiently rare to be so treated. One result of this procedure has been to oblige us in some cases to base the claim of a species to a place in a certain district on the naked statement in the first edition that it had been found to ocenr there. But this failure of ours to discover a definite district record for the plant must not be taken as throwing the least doubt on the accuracy of the entry in the first edition, PREFACE. xi though it may, perhaps, be generally accepted as evidence of the local rarity of the plant. No lengthy list of plants added to the Irish flora can be pointed to as the fruit of botanical research within the last quarter of a century, the period which has elapsed since the publication of Recent Additions to the Flora of Ireland. Neglecting numerous segregate Brambles and Hawkweeds recently detected, the additions to our phanerogamic flora number only the 18 species and sub- species set forth in the following list, one-third of them more or less open to suspicion of being introduced :— Ranunculus tripartitus. Limosella aquatica. Potamogeton lanceolatus. +Teesdalia nudicaulis. Utricularia neglecta. P. Zizii. Epilobium alsinefolium. {Polygonum sagittifolium. Carex pauciflora. t+@nanthe pimpinelloides. P. mite. C. aquatilis. *Crepis biennis. {Sisyrinchium californicum C. rhynchophysa. Scrophularia umbrosa. tJuncus tenuis. Poa palustris. Within the same period the following six species of Characce have been added to those known to occur in Ireland: Chara con- nivens, C. contraria, C. denudata, C. canescens, Nitella Nordstetiana, and WV. tenuissima. This apparent gain is fully balanced, and indeed overbalanced, by the exclusion of plants admitted to the first edition on evidence which further inquiry has shown to be insufficient. It is rather in the great extension of range given to the large majority of the rarer species and in the increased recognition of the more critical plant- forms that the results of the botanical activity of this period is manifested. How great this extension of range has been, a com- parison of the distribution tables in the two editions will at once make evident, while the increased attention paid to critical forms will appear from the frequent records for varieties to be found in the text of the present edition. In conclusion, we would impress on all who make use of this book the necessity of first studying the explanatory sections of the Introduction, a knowlege of which is essential to a right under- standing of the text. While far from claiming immunity from xii PREFACE, error in the treatment of so complex a subject, we hope that the pains which have been taken to secure accuracy may have succeeded in making the work what we desire it to be, a trustworthy guide to the topographical botany of our island, and a fitting memorial of Alexander Goodman More.

PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION (1866). —t ee Iv explanation of the title which we have adopted, as the name of Cybele may not, like that of Flora, be familar to our readers, it will be well to premise that Cybele was worshipped formerly as the goddess of the Karth in Asia. Her name was first introduced in connexion with modern botany by Mr. H. C. Watson, who con- sidered that it might appropriately express the distribution of plants upon the Earth’s surface, and who accordingly employed it as the title of his great work, ‘ Cybele Britannica.” The present work originated in a desire to furnish not only a revised list of the wild plants of Ireland, but also a classified summary of their localities. Thirty years having now elapsed since the publication of Mackay’s ‘‘ lora Hibernica,” within which period many additions have been made to Irish Botany, many plants have become better known, and the range of others has been greatly extended. With the view of meeting the requirements of Geographical Botany, we have endeavoured to arrange our materials somewhat after the plan of Mr. Watson’s ‘ Cybele Britannica” (whence our title); and thus we hope that the details collected will be found methodized in such order as to be available to those who study the range of plants, while the traveller will also be able to use our book as a botanist’s guide through Ireland. With three excellent and portable ‘‘ Floras ” in the hands of British Botanists, it has been thought unnecessary to draw up fresh descriptions of the Irish species; this would have too much increased the bulk of our volume without adding to its usefulness. xiv PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. And, as some additional species may be hereafter found in Ireland, we believe that the use of some book containing descriptions of the entire series of British plants will be found advantageous. Our scope being thus limited, we have endeavoured to include, in a compendious form, as much information respecting the localities and range of Irish plants as can be given within a short compass. On account of the fewness of the observations hitherto made on the upper and lower limits of the elevation of plants, we have preferred to reserve the complete details of this part of our subject for a future edition. And here we would especially recommend this interesting branch of study to those of our botanists who are in the habit of spending a part of the summer in a mountainous district. A rough estimate of the upper and lower limits may be made from the Ordnance Survey map, on which the heights are carefully laid down, but it is especially desired that careful observations of both upper and lower limits be taken with the barometer (or sympieso- meter) in each of our mountain districts separately, since this is the only way to secure data for a just estimate of the influence of climate on the upper and lower limits of plants, as the “zones” and ‘‘regions” in Donegal must range to very different heights from those in Kerry or the East of Ireland. We believe that little is gained by the statement that a species descends to sea-level zn one district, while it ascends to 3000 feet in another; it is only by comparing both upper and lower limits in each different range of hills, or at least in each of the chief groups that any useful results can be expected. The elevation of many species is carefully noted in the MS. catalogue of the Flora of the county of Londonderry, drawn up under the directions of the officers of the former Ordnance Survey of Ireland; and Dr. Dickie’s “‘ Flora of Ulster” is another source from which we have frequently drawn—we can only regret that more details were not given by so accurate and careful an observer. For the localities, we have endeavoured to lay the foundations altogether afresh upon recent and reliable authority, having received from numerous correspondents, some twenty tolerably complete county lists. With these we have incorporated most of PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. XV the stations given in the works of Threlkeld, K’Eogh, Browne, Wade, and in the Floras of Lady Kane, Mackay, Power, Dickie, and Tate. Reference has also been made to many detached papers, and to private contributions which have been furhished from various quarters. Feeling convinced that such is the only course by which a reliable work can be produced, we have not hesitated to discard many species considered as Irish, but respecting which we have not succeeded in obtaining authentic information or specimens. By this course, more is left open for the investigation of those observers who may consent to assist in the preparation of a more complete work, which we trust will yet be accomplished as the requirements of science shall demand. It is to the botanists of Ireland that we especially appeal; there is an ample field yet open in the explora- tion of the flora of their native country; and if our book serves but to mark one step in advance it will not have been compiled in vain. In every case of doubt no pains have been spared to try and arrive at the truth, and we trust that our many correspondents will accept our thankful acknowledgment for the unwearied courtesy with which they have replied to close and troublesome inquiries.

Inztanp, the most western of the British Isles, extends from North Latitude 51° 26’ to 55° 21’ and from West Longitude 5° 20’ to 10° 26’. In form the island is roughly rhomboidal, with a greater diagonal of 302 miles, and a lesser of 210 miles, the total area being 82,531 square miles. More truly insular in position than Great Britain, Ireland is bounded on the north, west, and south by the Atlantic Ocean, and on the east is separated from England by a sea-channel, ranging in breadth from 47 to 188 miles. At its north- eastern extremity, however, it is divided from southern Scotland by a much narrower channel, varying in width from 13 to 28 miles. The western coasts are much broken, and on this side almost all of the larger islands are found, such as Achill Island, Valentia, the South Isles of Aran, Clare Island, and North Aran. The eastern shores are far less broken. As regards its surface features, Ireland may be fairly repre- sented as a central plain flanked by mountain groups, disposed towards or along the coasts. With a few exceptions, such as the Slieve Bloom range in Queen’s County, the Galtees in Tipperary, Mount Leinster and Blackstairs in Wexford, Cuilceagh in Cavan, and Keeper Mountain in Limerick, the chief mountains lie quite close to the coasts. The highest summits are found in the south- west in county Kerry, where the fine rock mass of Magillicuddy’s Reeks rises in Carrantuohill to a height of 3414 feet, while farther west Mount Brandon reaches to upwards of 3100 feet. Elevations such as these are but rarely approached in other parts of the island. In the Wicklow mountain group on the east coast, Lugnaquilla reaches to 3089 feet; and in the Galtees towards the south, Galty- more to 3015 feet; but elsewhere in Ireland there are no summits d EXXVili INTRODUCTION. attaining to 3000 feet, though in Mayo, Waterford, and Wexford some points are to be found slightly exceeding 2600 feet, and Slieve Donard in the Mournes reaches almost to 2800 feet. In their petrological character, the numerous Irish mountain groups are sufficiently varied. Granite is abundant in the Dublin and Wicklow mountains and in those of Down and Donegal; sand- stones occur in Kerry, Tipperary, the Slieve Bloom range and elsewhere; quartz rock is abundant in the Galway and Mayo groups and in Donegal; mica-slate is of frequent occurrence ; large masses of elevated limestone are found in Clare, Sligo, and Fermanagh, and basalt covers a wide area in Antrim and Derry. Chalk is conspicuously absent, for though exposed in cliffs at some points along the Antrim coast, it is always capped with basalt, and cannot be said to have any true outcrop in Ireland. Limestone prevails almost throughout the central plain, but is usually covered by extensive peat bogs or by drift accumulations frequently disposed in the characteristic form of eskers or gravel mounds and ridges. The area occupied by peat-bogs is very large, and has been estimated at 4400 square miles, or 13°5 per cent. of the total surface of the island. Somewhat more than half of this bog-area is lowland. Much of the remainder lies at elevations between 1000 and 2000 feet above sea-level. The area of the country under water, chiefly in the form of lakes, is little short of 1000 square miles, or fully 3 per cent. of the whole surface. Rare and usually insignificant in the east, the lakes become frequent towards the centre, and well-nigh innumerable in some parts of the west, as in Connemara, Clare, and West Mayo. A comparison of the four western counties, Kerry, Clare, Galway, and Mayo, with an equal area of the eastern counties shows the water-surface of the western counties to be fully four times as large as that of the eastern. In the north-east is the low-lying and shallow Lough Neagh, with an area of 153 square miles, the largest fresh-water surface in the British Isles. Owing to the comparatively small extent of the country and the peculiar disposition of the mountain-groups, most of the numerous Irish rivers have small basins and short courses. But there is one notable exception in the Shannon. This fine river, the longest in the British Isles, and, perhaps, the largest in volume, has a roughly north and south course of about 250 miles, and widens in its middle and lower reaches into the imposing river-lakes known as Lough Ree and Lough Derg. INTRODUCTION. XXXIX As compared with England, the most salient general features of Ireland are its large extent of peat-bog and lake-surface, its vast central limestone plain of low elevation, and the absence of chalk. Further details as to the more local physical features will be given in section VIII. of this Introduction dealing with the Irish Botanical Districts. II. Crmate. Owing to its insular position the climate of Ireland, especially in the west, is more moist and equable than in the rest of Europe under the same degrees of latitude. From observations made at sixteen stations in the year 1851, it appears that the mean annual temperature of Ireland is a little over 50° Fahrenheit, which is the same as the average in South Britain. But it is not the mean temperature of any country so much as the extreme ranges which affect in summer the ripening of fruit and crops, and in winter the preservation of tender plants. There isa striking difference between Ireland and Great Britain in this respect; for the mean tempera- ture of the summer months being 2° Fahrenheit lower in Ireland, the ripening of corn and fruit is later and more uncertain than in England, and wheat, which is cultivated successfully throughout nearly all England, is in many parts of Ireland a precarious crop, especially in the western counties. The Spanish chestnut, the walnut, and the fig, seldom fully ripen their fruit. On the other hand, the winter temperature being about 2° higher in Ireland, some plants thrive and flourish with us which would be killed by the cold, dry frost of an English winter. Even in the county of Dublin, some species which are natives of the western coast of Ireland—for example, Simethis bicolor and Erica Mackati—suffer much from frost when planted out in the open air in the Botanic Garden at Glasnevin. The temperature of Ireland decreases from south to north at the rate of about three-quarters of a degree for each degree of latitude. A sensible decrease is also experienced from west to east, especially in winter. This greater mildness and equability of the climate in the west as compared with the east of Ireland, and in Treland generally, when compared with the rest of Europe under the same degrees of latitude, was formerly attributed to the moder- ating influence of the great warm ocean current, the Gulf Stream. But it is now held by the best authorities that this current does not extend eastward from the American coast beyond 50° west longitude, d2 xl INTRODUCTION. so that its effect on Irish climate must be quite inappreciable. It is probably to the prevailing south-west winds, travelling over wide ocean areas before they impinge on the Irish coast, that our more equable and humid climate is due. Experiments conducted by Dr. Humphrey Lloyd, in 1851, showed that the temperature of the sea off the west coast of Ireland exceeded that of the air on land by 1:8° Fahrenheit in summer and 5-7° in winter. The influence of the vapour-laden south-west winds is clearly shown in the distribution of the Irish rain-fall, which reaches its. maximum in the south-west, where the lofty Kerry mountains act as condensers, while it decreases in a marked degree towards the east and north. The mean annual rain-fall at Valentia for the six years, 1890-95, was 53°6 inches, while in wet years, both here and at Killarney, another south-western station, the total annual rdin- fall has risen to 61 inches. For the same six years the mean at Markree, in Sligo, a western station some 150 miles northward of Valentia, was 40°5 inches. On the eastern side of the island, Dublin city for the same period gave a mean of 26-5 inches, and Armagh of 29°3 inches. The amount of the decrease in rain-falk from west to east varies greatly according to the position with respect to mountain masses of the stations compared, and the number- of stations for which statistics are available is too small to permit of any trustworthy average being arrived at for the west and east coasts. But we are concerned here only with the broad features of the Irish climate, and one of these is unquestionably the general. contrast in humidity between west and east. : To these climatic differences between the two sides of the island, certain differences in the vegetation may be directly ascribed, as. well as differences in the respective floras. In the west, the pro- portion of the vegetation, or total mass of plant life, which is made. up of individuals belonging to the moisture-loving orders—Cype-. races, Rushes, Ferns, &c.—is much largerthan in the east; anda few species, which are confined to the west and south-west, such as. Sibthorpia europea, Microcala filiformis, and Saxifraga Geum, are perhaps so confined by the absence elsewhere in Ireland of the degree of humidity and equability of climate necessary to their maintenance. Ill. Tux Taisen any Enerisn FLoras comparep. Viewed as a whole, the flora of Ireland may be regarded as an incomplete English flora, as this in its turn may be regarded as an INTRODUCTION. xii incomplete west European or French flora. It is in the species which it lacks that the Irish flora chiefly differs from the English ; and the vast majority of the English plants which are absent from Ireland are common or widespread in western continental Europe. Taking as standard the third edition of Hooker’s Students Flora of the British Isles, published in 1884, we find that, in round numbers, 1420 species and sub-species of Flowering Plants and Vascular Cryptograms, either native or fully naturalized, occur in England and Wales, against 1000 in Ireland.* In making this comparison, care has been taken to exclude with equal severity from the floras of the two areas all introduced plants not fully naturalized, so that the ratio of 70 to 100 may be taken as a fairly accurate expression of the relative richness of the two floras. It will be seen that the comparison here made is one of Ireland with England. and Wales only, so that the areas compared are less glaringly dissimilar in extent and in range of latitude, and consequent range of climates, than would be the case if the comparison were made with Great Britain asa whole. The flora of Great Britain, on the standard already mentioned, numbers 1480 species and sub-species, the ratio of the total Irish flora to this being 67°5 to 100. British Type.—Almost all of the commonest indigenous plants of England, the British Type species of Watson, are found in Ireland, where, as in England, they make up what may be called the ground- work of the flora. Out of a total of 544 plants of this type found in England and Wales, only the following eight species are wanting in Ireland :— British Type Plants absent from Ireland. Helianthemum vulgare. Chrysosplenium alterni- Paris quadrifolia. Genista anglica. folium. Juncus compressus. Potentilla verna. Erythrea littoralis. Avena pratensis. English and Germanic Types.—But when we come to the less widespread groups or types in the English flora, such as the English Type made up of plants which have their chief prevalence in England and particularly in its more southern provinces, to the Germante, Intermediate, Scottish, and Atlantic types which find their chiet development respectively in East England, in Middle Britain, in North Britain, and in West and South-west England, and to the * The Characea are excluded from both the English and Irish totals. xhii INTRODUCTION. Highland Type or mountain plants, the deficiencies of the Irish flora. become at once more prominent. The following table, based on Watson’s Compendium of the Cybele Britannica, 1870, is designed to. show the comparative richness of the English and Irish floras under these various types. The exclusion from this table of the Highland and Scottish type plants absent from England and Wales has dimi- nished the total number of these types by some 58 species.

Of the total number of 12 plants in this list, four are certainly or probably introduced ; of the remain- ing eight, six are rare; and four, Astragalus hypoglottis, Limosella aquatica, Glyceria Borrert, and Polygonum mite, extremely so.

Existing climatic influences would seem to have played but a sub- ordinate part in producing this remarkable poverty of East England plants in Ireland, or, indeed, the large deficiencies of species of the English type. The main cause is more obscure, and must be sought for in the geological history of the British Isles. There is a strong body of evidence to show, that Ireland, as an island, is of much INTRODUCTION. xliii greater antiquity than Great Britain, or, to express the same fact in other words, to show that Great Britain maintained its land connection with the Continent long after it had lost its land con- nection with Ireland. As a consequence of this longer insulation of the more western island, the stream of migration, by which we may assume the British Isles to have received from the Continent their present plant population, or, at least, the great bulk of it, at or towards the close of the last Glacial Period, was, in the case of Ireland, cut off much earlier than in the case of Great Britain. The advance guard of aggressive species, the British type and a large section of the English type, had time to push westward into Ireland before its eastward land-connections were broken down; but the rear-guard of more slowly spreading species found their westward progress checked by the land subsidence which created the Irish sea. The mass of this rear-guard was probably formed of the Germanic type plants, a group so little aggressive in character that it seems to have been quite unable to push its way, as a whole, across England in the face of the more hardy settlers who had gone before and occupied the ground. Highland Type.—While we may find in such considerations as these at least a partial explanation of the large deficiencies of the Irish flora in the Germanic and English types, it is rather to existing unfavourable climatic conditions that we should attribute the chief influence in producing its deficiencies in the Highland type. Not only are the Irish mountains inferior on the whole in elevation to the Welsh and Cumbrian mountains, but their distri- bution is such as to prevent the production of the possible maxi- mum of alpine conditions. The highest Irish summits, the Magillicuddy’s Reeks, are placed in the extreme south-west of the island, where latitude and the moderating influence of the large adjacent ocean area combine to bring about perhaps the minimum of alpine conditions which could be produced anywhere in Ireland by a mountain mass of such elevation. In England, on the con- trary, the Cumbrian summits, while little inferior in elevation to the Reeks, lie some 23 degrees of latitude farther northward, and the Snowdon group in Wales, with an elevation some 150 feet greater than the Reeks, lies northward of them by a full degree of latitude. In north Ireland, moreover, the mountain groups are fully 600 feet inferior in elevation to the English groups under the same parallel of latitude. Such being the position of the Irish xliy INTRODUCTION. mountains, their deficiencies in species of the Highland type can hardly be considered anomalous. A glance at the following list of the plants of this type found in Ireland, numbering 41 in all, will show that they have a marked tendency to a western distribution. Neglecting two species which are confined to the north, it will be seen from the prefixed letters W. and E., that while no less than 36 of the species occur in West Ireland, only 27 are found in the Kast. Of the 36 species found in the West, 12 are absent from the East; of the 27 found in the East, only 3 are absent from the West. Highland Type Plants in Ireland. Ww. Thalictrum alpinum. W.E.

Allof the 12 Highland Type plants which in Ireland are confined to the West, occur in West England or Wales, so that it is hard to account for their absence from East Ireland if we assume them to have made part of a great plant migration spreading westward from the European continent across England into Ireland, towards the close of the last Glacial Period. The difference in the character of the eastern and western mountain groups of Ireland certainly seems inadequate to account for these absences. But we are hardly justified in supposing the glaciation of Ireland to have com- pletely denuded the country of its plant population. The existence INTRODUCTION. xlv at the present day of a littoral flora in Greenland, where the con- ditions may be taken as fairly typical of those which obtained in Ireland during the Glacial Period, renders it not, improbable that a similar flora made up of Highland, that is Arctic or sub-Arctic species, may have maintained itself in some favoured spots along our sea-board, while the country, as a whole, lay buried under an ice-sheet. Ifwe conceive the Irish Highland Type plants of to- day to be derived from such a remnant of our ancient flora, main- taining itself chiefly along the western Atlantic sea-board, where the climatic conditions were probably most favourable during the last Glacial Period, and retreating to its present mountain stations on the advent of a milder climate, then the absence from East Ireland of the 12 Highland species common to West Ireland and West England may become somewhat less perplexing. But in considering this, as all other problems in plant distribution it must always be borne in mind that the causes in operation have been highly complex. Past geological changes; present climate and configuration of the surface; accidental or occasional means of transport across sea-channels; constitution of soils: all of these have had a share in bringing about the existing disposition of the Irish Highland flora. The following ten species of this Highland group, or just one- fourth of the total number, descend in Ireland to, or almost to, sea-level :— Draba incana. Galium. boreale. Juniperus nana. Dryas octopetala. Hieracium anglicum. Sesleria czerulea. Saxifraga aizoides. H. iricum. Selaginella selaginoides. Sedum Rhodiola. Scottish and Intermediate Types.—As was shown in the com- parative table on p. xlii, 64 per cent. of these types, combined, representing the boreal element in the English flora, is found in Treland. The Irish plants of these types are set out in the following list :— Scottish and Intermediate Type Plants in Ireland. Thalictrum minus. Arenaria verna. Potentilla fruticosa. Trollius europzeus. Geranium sylvaticum. Rubus saxatilis. Helianthemum canum. Vicia Orobus. Poterium officinale. Viola lutea. V. sylvatica. Rosa hibernica. Sagina subulata. Prunus Padus.

In its Irish distribution, this group shows no decided tendency to a northward prevalence. If we take latitude 543° as marking the southward limit of northern species in Ireland, we find that no less than 50 out of the 60 Scottish and Intermediate Type plants set out in the above list range southward to or below this limit, while 25 reach to or below latitude 52°. A little more than half of the total of 60 species in the group is made up of plants which become perceptibly more frequent towards the north of Ireland, though this increase in frequency is in many cases by no means strongly marked. Only 8 of the 60 fail to reach so far south as 543°, and can be regarded as truly boreal in Ireland. These are :— Trollius europaeus, Geranium sylvaticum, Rosa hibernica, Ligusticum scoticum, Pyrola secunda, Melampyrum sylvaticum, Salix nigricans, and Kguisetum pratense. Atlantic Type.—The name of this type, selected by Watson, as were all his other type-names, solely with a view to exhibiting the salient features in the distribution of plants in Great Britain, is singularly unhappy when used with reference to the Irish flora. One would naturally expect to find an Atlantic group of plants very fully represented in an island possessing, as Ireland does, a long extended line of Atlantic sea-board, and would also expect to find the group absent from, or at least but little developed in, East Ireland. But, as has been shown (p. xlii), only 84 out of a total of 62, or 55 per cent. of the group, occur in Ireland. Of these 34, no less than 26 are found in the east. Still, in Ireland, the group INTRODUCTION. xlvii shows a tendency to an Atlantic distribution thus far, that while only one species, Seclla verna is confined to the East as opposed to the South and West, eight species, Carum verticillatum, Bartsia viscosa, Sibthorpia europea, Asparagus officinalis, Rhynchospora Susca, Bromus madritensis, Asplenium lanceolatum, and Adiantum Capilius- Veneris, which occur in the South or West, are absent from the East. At the same time, many of the species found in the East become more abundant in the South and West. In the following list the letter E. denotes the species of this type which are found in East Ireland. Atlantic Type Plants in Ireland. E. Meconopsis cambrica. E. Wahlenbergia hederacea. E. Coronopus didyma. E. Statice occidentalis. E. Mathiola sinuata. Bartsia viscosa. E. Raphanus maritimus. Sibthorpia europea, E. Viola Curtisii. E. Pinguicula lusitanica. E. Linum angustifolium. E.

If the name, Norman type, proposed by Forbes for this group, be used instead of Atlantic type, then its imperfect development in Ireland will cease to arrest attention, and an explanation will suggest itself similar to that already offered here for the more striking deficiency in Ireland of the Germanic type plants. IV. Intse Prants wot rounp in Great Britain. While distinguished from the flora of England above all by its comparative poverty, the Irish flora possesses at the same time a positive element of difference in the presence of a small number of interesting plants, nowhere found in Great Britain. These xlviii INTRODUCTION.. Hibernian type plants, as they have been named, are set out in the following list :— Saxifraga umbrosa. Ranunculus tripartitus. S. Geum. Arenaria ciliata. Arbutus Unedo. Inula salicina. Pinguicula grandiflora. Euphrasia Salisburgensis. Dabeocia polifolia. Habenaria intacta. Erica mediterranea. Spiranthes Romanzoffiana. E. Mackaii. Sisyrinchium angustifolium. Carex rhynchophysa. To these may be added two Irish species of Characee, Chara denudata, and Nitella Nordstetiana, which, so far as the present evidence shows, are absent from England. Cantabrian Group—To the seven plants placed in the first column of this list, the name Cantabrian group may be conveniently given. In Ireland all of these are western or south-western, and range under our favourable conditions of climate to a higher northern latitude than they reach anywhere on the European continent. Some of them are found sparingly in Western France so far north as the Loire, but the group finds its nearest full development, as a whole, some 600 miles south of Ireland in the maritime highlands of Cantabria and Galicia in Northern Spain. The most wide-spread of all is Saxifraga umbrosa, the common London Pride of English gardens. This ranges from the east of Waterford, south-west to Kerry, and thence at intervals along the Atlantic coast to the extreme north of Donegal. The other members of the group are confined to much more limited areas, and from the point of view of distribution in Ireland divide themselves into two sub-groups, a south-western and a western. The first of these sub-groups is made up of the three species, Arbutus Unedo, Saxifraga Geum, and Pinguicula grandiflora, and is confined to those parts of the counties of Cork and Kerry which form the extreme south-western angle of the island. The most southern in character of these three species, Arbutus Unedo, the well known Strawberry Tree, is in Ireland the rarest and the most restricted in range. Save at the Killarney Lakes, where it grows in great luxuriance, it occurs only in scattered groups or individuals, and at all or most of its outlying stations seems doomed to early extinction. The other species are far more abundant and widespread, the beautiful Pinguicula grandiflora making in early summer a striking ornament both of the lowland bogs and of the dripping INTRODUCTION. xlix mountain gullies and rock-shelves in many parts of Cork and Kerry. To this south-western sub-group may be added Sawifraga hirsuta, a plant intermediate between S. wmbrosa and S. Geum, but entitled to rank only as a variety. This is of frequent occurrence in the south-west. Almost a full degree of latitude separates the northern limit of this division of the Cantabrian group from the southern limit of the second or western division. The latter is made up of the three heaths, Erica mediterranea, Dabeocia polifolia, and Erica Mackaiit, whose area of distribution in Ireland is confined to the western parts of the counties of Mayo and Galway. The so-called Mediterranean Heath, which, in spite of its name, is nowhere found in the Mediterranean region, occurs abundantly in West Ireland in many stations, from Roundstone in Galway northward to Belmullet in Mayo, over a distance of some 60 miles. Here its early flowering character is well preserved, the plant being usually found in full bloom with us towards the middle of March. The more beautiful Dabeocia polifolia, the Connemara or Saint Dabeoc’s Heath is quite as widely distributed in the district, for while its northward range from Galway Bay to Curraun Achill falls considerably short of that of the Mediterranean Heath, its inland extension is much greater. The third member of this sub-group, Erica Mackati, which occurs in the neighbourhood of Roundstone, is apparently much rarer than either of the others, and its claims to specific rank are perhaps little stronger than those of Saxdfraga hirsuta. It can hardly be regarded as more than a sub-species of #. TZetralix. The exclusively western distribution of this Cantabrian group in Ireland is shown graphically on the botanical map issued with this edition. Origin of the Cantabrian Growp.—Of the many problems in plant distribution, presented by a study of the Irish flora, perhaps none is more perplexing, certainly none has excited more interest or speculation, than the remarkable isolation in Ireland of this Cantabrian group at the extreme northern and western limit of its present European range. It is only in past geological changes that we can hope to find a solution of this problem. The members of the group are undoubtedly indigenous in Ireland ; and the hypothesis which regards them as relics of a once widespread pre-glacial flora seems to be the one which, however opén to objection, presents the least difficulty. Under this view we may assume the group to have ranged in pre-glacial times from the southward into that part of the 1 INTRODUCTION. westward extension of the European continent which succeeding changes of land-level have converted into the insular Ireland of to-day. Then, as now, the members of the group were no doubt largely sub-littoral or marginal in their distribution, and their northern march was made along the western coasts of the old pre-glacial Europe. Their survival in Ireland throughout the Glacial Period may have been rendered possible by the prevalence of an exceptionally mild climate in some favoured spots along our western sea-board, co-existent as in the case of modern Greenland, with generally rigorous conditions close at hand. The absence at the same time of such an exceptional climate over a large part of Western France or of that portion of the old continent most closely coincident with the Western France of to-day, may have led to the extinction of the species there over wide areas. Vestiges of the group are still found along this assumed old line of march as far north almost as the Loire in Western France, while two species closely related to the group by distribution and sub-littoral habitat, Erica vagans and #. cilaris, range from Portugal and Northern Spain into Normandy and South-west England. The high northern latitude attained by this Cantabrian group in Ireland shows the exceptional mildness of our insular climate, and this is further illustrated by the range of another Hibernian type species, Habenarta intacta, which occurs in many stations, and often abundantly, in Galway, Clare, and Mayo. The following table shows the extreme northern limits reached in Ireland and on the European continent by this section of the Hibernian type species :— Northern Limits of the Cantabrian Group.

Spiranthes INTRODUCTION. li Romansofiana, Stsyrinchium angustifolium, Arenaria ciliata, Inula salicina, Huphrasia Salisburgensis, and Carex rhynchophysa, form any natural botanical group. They have no common focus in Ireland or elsewhere. If, however, we join with the first two, three other Irish species, none of which is peculiar in the British Isles, to Ireland, we have the following small group of North American character whose presence with us gives rise to another most difficult problem in distribution :— North American Group. Spiranthes Romanzoffiana Eriocaulon septangulare. {Sisyrinchium angustifolium. Naias flexilis. tJuncus tenuis. While the species of the Cantabrian group are beyond all question indigenous in Ireland, there is reason to suspect that two of these North American plants, the Sisyrinchium and the Juncus, may have been introduced. As for the remaining three species of the North American group, no doubt has ever been raised as to their indigenous standing in Ireland. The rare Spiranthes Romanzoffiana, an orchid unknown elsewhere in Europe, occurs in Ireland in the counties of Armagh and Derry in the north, and Cork in the extreme south-west, an interval of more than 200 miles, separating its northern and southern stations. In North America, as in Kamtschatka, its only known Asiatic station, this species is sub-arctic in range. Far more abundant in Ireland is Hriocaulon septangulare. This extends at intervals all along our west coasts from Adrigole in Cork to the Rosses in Donegal, and occurs in great profusion in most of the lakes of Iar Connaught and Connemara in West Galway. The third undoubtedly indigenous member of this American group, Navas flewilis, is rare in Ireland. So far, it has been discovered in only three of our lakes, one in Galway, and two in Kerry, but it is a plant of rather deep water, not easily detected, and further dredg- ing of our numerous western lakes may much extend its range in Ireland. This species occurs in Perthshire and Skye in Scotland, and in several stations in Northern Europe; but the Hrvocaulon fails to reach the European continent, and in Great Britain is confined to the Scotch islands of Skye and Coll. Every attempt to explain the presence in Ireland, of these northern American species, as they may be considered, is beset with difficulty. It seems best on the whole to regard them as relics of hi INTRODUCTION. an ancient immigration into Ireland in a direction roughly speaking contrary to that followed by the Cantabrian group, as relics, in fact, of a dispersion from the Arctic or Sub-Arctic regions, which, in one of its lines, was probably carried on along an old land extension con- necting Greenland, Spitzbergen, and Scandinavia with Scotland and Ireland. Along the same path, too, may perhaps have travelled three of the four remaining Hibernian type plants, Arenaria ciliata of the high limestone plateau of Ben Bulben, Huphrasia Salisburgen- sés of the low-level limestone of Clare and Galway, and Carex rhynchophysa, recently discovered in Armagh, all three decidedly northern or alpine in character. The last of the Hibernian type plants, Inula salicina, confined in the British Isles to the shores and islands of Lough Derg on the Shannon, is extremely widespread in Europe, ranging from Scandi- navia to the Italian peninsula, and from middle Russia to Portugal. The remarkable isolation of this species in Ireland seems to defy explanation. V. Prevatent ORDERS IN THE IRIsH Frora. The more truly insular position of Ireland and the resulting contrast in its climate with that of England would lead us to expect some differences in the distribution of the plants of both countries amongst the various natural orders. A detailed comparison of the two floras justifies this expectation. Differences, quite appreciable if in no case very large, are found to exist in the numerical pro- portions borne by the total of species in several of the Orders to the total flora of each country; and these differences usually lie in the direction suggested by d prior? considerations. The subjoined table, founded on the present work, on the 38rd Edition of Hooker’s Student’s Flora of the British Isles and on Nyman’s Conspectus Flore Europea, shows the extent of these differences, and at the same time the wide divergences in the ratios of the larger Orders to the total floras when the relatively small insular areas of Ireland and England are compared with the European continent. In estimating the percentages, the total floras of Ireland, of England, and of Europe, inclusive of the Phanerogams and Vascular Cryptogams, have been taken, in round numbers, as 1000, 1420, and 11,530 species and sub-species, and the orders are arranged in accordance with their size in Ireland. Orders containing less than 2 per cent. of the total Irish flora have not been taken into consideration.

In the case of the order Composite, however, the process of segregation in the genus Hieraciwm has been carried so much farther by Continental botanists than by Hooker, our species standard for England and Ireland, that the percentage ratio of that order for Europe is no doubt overstated, perhaps by so much as one per cent. VI. Prants ENDEMIC IN IRELAND. The endeavour to establish the existence of peculiar plant-forms in Ireland is of great interest in connection with the theory of organic evolution. A few Irish plants have been proposed as truly endemic, or peculiar to the island, but they are all of them more or e liv INTRODUCTION. less critical, and can be confidently discriminated only by those who have made a special study of the genus to which each form may belong. So small is the number of such specialists and so large is the field over which the inquiry must range, that the proverbial difficulty of proving a negative becomes in such cases little short of an impossibility. However long and however conscientious the search may have been, we can never assert with confidence of any of these supposed endemic forms that they do not occur outside of the area to which they are supposed to be peculiar. So we can only say of the following plants, supposed to be peculiar to Ireland, that the best authorities have hitherto been unable to establish their occurrence elsewhere. There can be little doubt that the result of further study of the more critical forms of other countries will be to reduce the number of these supposed endemic Irish plants. Plants endemic in Ireland. Polygala vulgarisvar.cRanpIrLora. Calamagrostis stricta var. HooxEntr. Potamogeton Kirkii. Equisetum Moorei. P. lanceolatus var. HIBERNICUS. Isoetes lacustris var. Moxrr. Several forms of Rubus and Hieracium, proposed as peculiar to Ireland, have been deliberately excluded from this list. Whatever the value of these may be, it is obvious that the time has not yet come for the expression of any confident opinion as to their dis- tribution either in Ireland or outside of it. VII. Topoeraruican Groups on tHe Iris Frora. In the preceding paragraphs the external relations of the Irish flora have been discussed at some length; in the present a glance will be taken at what may be termed its internal relations. While the great mass of Irish plants show a tendency to range throughout the island, no less than 423 being at present known to occur in all 12 districts, and 82 in 11 districts, some small groups affect an exclusively eastern or western distribution, as others affect a distri- bution exclusively northern or southern. If we class as Northern all plants not found south of latitude 542° N., as Southern those not found north of latitude 52}° N., as Eastern those not found west of longitude 7° W., and as Western those not found east of longitude 8° W., we shall have the following divisions of the flora, which for want of a more accurate term may be conveniently called topographical groups.

It will be seen from a study of these lists that more than three- fourths of the southern plants are included in the western group, or, in other words, that the great majority of the distinctively southern species are confined to the south-west, where the two arbitrary topographical divisions of south and west Ireland overlap.

Almost three-fourths of the Northern Plants are confined to the north-east, this group showing a tendency to an eastern distribu- tion hardly less strongly marked than that shown by the Southern group to a western distribution. Whatever the origin of these topographical groups may have been, they may be taken as an expression of existing climatic differences. Their maintenance as groups depends chiefly on the permanence of the recognized diversities of moisture and temperature which distinguish the East from the West and the North from the South. VIII. Intse Borantcan Disrriers. The division of Ireland into botanical provinces or districts adopted in this work is that proposed by the late Professor Babington in a INTRODUCTION. Ivii Paper read before the Dublin University Zoological and Botanical Association in 1859.1 To avoid confusion, the word ‘ district’ has been selected here to denote these botanical divisions, the word ‘ province,’ used by Watson in his Cybele Britannica for a similar ‘purpose, being applied in Ireland to the larger political divisions of the country, known as Ulster, Leinster, Munster, and Connaught. In Babington’s original scheme the Irish divisions were numbered consecutively with the British, from XTX. (South Atlantic) to XXX. (Ulster Coast). For good reasons, however, these numbers were rejected by the authors of the first edition of this work in favour of the separate series from I. to XII., which has been adhered to in the present edition. In area,. the Irish districts, which are set out below in one general view, correspond much more closely to Watson’s sub-provinces than to his provinces,? Approx. Number of Districts.

Rev., vi., 1859, p. 533. *In preparing this tabular view of the Irish Districts and their Floras, Hooker’s Student’s Flora of the British Isles, 8rd Ed., has been taken as standard for the Hawkweed species, while the fructicose Rubi have been counted as a single species occurring in all the Districts. lviii INTRODUCTION. The figures in the third and fourth columns of this table illus- trate the truism in distribution that, over certain limits, increase in the size of an area has little effect in increasing the variety of a flora. The statistics show at the same time, that, as regards the Trish botanical divisions, the richness of the various district floras depends above all on the fact whether a district is maritime or inland. The exclusively maritime flora of Ireland numbers about 80 species. All of these must necessarily be wanting in a wholly inland district, such as the Upper Shannon, and a great majority of them in the Barrow and Erne districts, which have no true sea- board, though gaining imperfect access to maritime conditions in a few miles of salt estuary. Such comparisons of district floras as may be drawn from the foregoing table are based on the assumption that all the. areas compared have been fairly well explored. It would have been idle to make any such assumption when the first edition of this work was published: it may be made now with some confi- dence that the results arrived at will not be far wide of the truth, though further exploration of some of the Districts, and notably of III., VII., and X., is desirable. In the following paragraphs an attempt has been made to epitomize the physical and botanical features of each of the twelve districts. DISTRICT I.—SOUTH ATLANTIC. Kerry and South Cork. Area, 3148 square miles.— Flora, 826 species and sub-species. Maritime, occupying the extreme south-west of the island, the coast being broken by the deep inlets of Dingle Bay, Kenmare River, and Bantry Bay. The highest summits in Ireland are found here, Carrantuohill in the Magillicuddy’s Reeks, reaching to 3404 feet ‘and Mount Brandon in the Dingle peninsula to 3120 feet. Other: high points in Kerry are Baurtregaum, 2796 feet, in Slieve Mish ; Mangerton, 2754 feet, south of Killarney ; and Coomacarrea, 2542 feet, in the Iveragh mountains. Lakes are numerous in Kerry, but none of them is of the first magnitude, the largest being Lough Leane (better known as the Lower Lake, Killarney), Lough Currane, 1The northern boundary of South Cork runs along the west shore of Cork Harbour, and up the river Lee and its tributary the Sullane, to the Kerry border. INTRODUCTION. lix and Caragh Lake. In addition to the Lee, which forms the boun- dary between North and South Cork, there is only one considerable river, the Bandon. In this district the insular climatic conditions characteristic of Ireland, moisture and mild and equable temperature, reach their maximum. There is a marked southern element in the flora, but considering the elevation of the mountains, the Highland type is but poorly represented by 24 out of the 41 species occurring in Ireland, the lofty mass of the Reeks yielding but 12 of these. The Hieracia are conspicuously rare here, as they are generally throughout the south of Ireland. No less than 10 species are peculiar in Ireland to this district, and of these three, Saxifraga Geum, Arbutus Unedo, and Simethis bicolor, reach here their extreme northern limit for Europe.

The Commeragh mountains, in Waterford, rise 1Jn this and the following District lists the plants in italics are peculiar to the district.

The district is without lakes, but includes two large rivers, the Blackwater and the Suir. The southern character of the flora shown in District I. is main- tained here, but is less strongly marked, some of the most charac- teristic species, such as Arbutus Unedo, Microcala filiformis, Sib- thorpia europea, and Simethis bicolor having disappeared. At the same time a large falling off in the Highland type plants is observed, only 12 species of this group occurring against 24 in District L., while the Hieracia have sunk from 8 species down to 3. Only one peculiar species occurs, Bromus madritensis, and this is probably an introduction. : Characteristic or Rare Plants. Ranunculus parviflorus. *Sedum album. {Antirrhinum Orontium.

Area, 1805 square miles.—/ora, 641 species and sub-species, Inland, save for a few miles of estuary in county Kilkenny, affording a small number of maritime species. On the south-east border of county Carlow are Mount Leinster, 2610 feet, and Blackstairs, 2409 feet; but the summits belong to the adjoining county, Wexford. To the north-west are the Slieve Bloom Moun- tains, in Queen’s County, with Ard Erin, 1783 feet, and Barna, 1661 feet. Though as yet insufficiently explored, this would appear to be the poorest in rare species of all the Irish botanical districts. There are but three Highland type plants and three Hieracia, including the ubiquitous 4. Pilosella. The only peculiar species is Colchicum autumnale. INTRODUCTION. lxi Characteristic or Rare Plants.

Weaford and Wicklow. Area, 1677 square miles.—Flora, 771 species and sub-species. Maritime. Mountainous towards the north, with extensive stretches of sandy coast on the south and south-east. In county Wicklow are Lugnaquilla, 3039 feet, the highest summit in East Ireland, Mullaghcleevaun, 2783 feet, and Thonalagee, 2684 feet, with many other points over 2000 feet; in Wexford are Mount Leinster, 2610 feet, and Blackstairs, 2409 feet, both extending into District III. With the exception of the Slaney, all the rivers are unimportant. The poverty of Highland type plants is perhaps the most peculiar feature in the flora. Notwithstanding the large mass and general high elevation of the Wicklow Mountains they yield but 12 out of the total of 41 Highland type plants found in Ireland.

The highest summits are Kippure, 2473 feet, and Seecawn, 2128 feet, in the south; and Carlingford Mountain, 19385 feet, in the north. The greater part of the district belongs to the basins of the rivers Boyne and Liffey. The flora is a rich one, but presents no very marked features. Introduced plants are numerous; the Highland type species are reduced to 6, Saxifraga stellaris, Hieracium anglicum, Vaccinium Vitis-Idea, Carex aquatilis, Cryptogramme crispa, and WSelaginella selaginoides; and 5 plants, Sisymbrium Irio, Scrophularia umbrosa, Poa palustris, Tolypella prolifera, and T. intricata are peculiar to the district.

Area, 3989 sq. miles.— Flora, 767 species and sub-species. Maritime, including the Aran Islands in Galway Bay. The most distinctive physical feature is the large extent of limestone ‘In Galway the division into East and West is defined by the river Corrib, and a line through the centre of Lough Corrib. INTRODUCTION. Lxiti outcrop in Clare, East Galway, and the Aran Islands. This forma- tion rises to a height of 1075 feet in Slieve Carran in the Burren district of Clare, but much of it is quite low-level and disposed in the characteristic form of tabular and deeply crevassed masses of almost naked rock, locally known as ‘‘crags.” In the south-east, Carrig-na-binnian and Thumpadour, at the western extremity of the Galtee mountain group, rise to 2712 and 2570 feet respectively. The west shore of Lough Derg and the greater part of the east shore of Lough Corrib belong to this district, which lies almost altogether in the basin of the Shannon, and smaller lakes are frequent in Clare and East Galway. The flora is rich in rare plants, some of which, notably Gentiana verna and Dryas octopetala occur in great profusion, while caledcole, or limestone species, are numerous and abundant. No less than six plants are peculiar to the district, and three of these, Astragalus hypoglotiis, Ajuga pyra- midalis, and Potamogeton lanceolatus are among the rarest in Ireland. There are 7 Hieracia and 8 plants of the Highland type. Characteristic or Rare Plants. Teucrium Scordium. Ajuga pyramidalis. Euphorbia hiberna. Spiranthes autumnalis. Epipactis atro-rubens.

Inland: the only one of the twelve botanical districts absolutely Lowland for the most part, with extensive cut off from the sea. lxiv INTRODUCTION. peat-bogs and numerous lakes. The eastern shores of the great Shannon river-expansions, Lough Ree and Lough Derg, belong to this district, and in Westmeath are the smaller lakes, Ennel, Derevaragh, and Owel. The south-western extremity 1s moun- tainous or hilly. Here Slievekimalta or Keeper mountain rises to 2278 feet, Mauherslieve, to 1783 feet, and the Devil’s Bit, to 1583 feet. Its strictly inland position and the absence of any elevated mountain region of considerable extent combine to make this the poorest of all the Irish botanical districts, though, no doubt, further exploration will add many species to its flora. There are but three peculiar species; Highland type plants are reduced to 4 and Hieracia to 3. The most salient botanical feature of the dis- trict is, perhaps, the abundance of certain species characteristic of marshes and wet peat-bogs, yet rare in many parts of Ireland, such as Stellaria palustris, Lathyrus palustris, Galium uliginosum, Vacet- nium Oxycoccus, Andromeda Polifolia, Carex teretiuscula and C. fild- Sormis.

Area, 2146 sq. miles.—Flora, 698 species and sub-species. Maritime. A district of mountain, lake, and bog, with a very broken rocky coast and numerous islands and islets. Mweelrea, at the mouth of the striking fiord, known as Killary Harbour, rises to 2688 feet ; Nephin, farther north, to 2646 feet ; Croaghpatrick, or the Reek, near Westport, to 2510 feet; Ben Baun, in the Twelve Bens, to 2395 feet ; Slieve More, in Achill Island, to 2204 feet; and numer- 1 Mayo is divided into East and West by Lough Mask, and the course of the river Aille, thence the line passes through Castlebar, descending th rough Lough Cullen and by the river Moy to the sea at Ballina. ; S INTRODUCTION. lxv ous other points, to 2000 feet and upwards. The western shores of Lough Corrib and Lough Mask belong to this district. Smaller lakes and lakelets are frequent all over the surface, and become well- nigh innumerable in Connemara and Iar Connaught. Owing to the great extent of unreclaimed mountain and bog, the flora is prepon- derantly native. Many of the most interesting Irish plants occur in profusion, especially the heaths, Hrica mediterranea and Dabeocia poltfolia, which are nowhere found in Great Britain, and reach here their extreme northern limit for Europe, and Lriocaulon septangulare, known elsewhere in Europe only in the Scotch islands of Skye and Coll. No less than 26 Highland type plants are found in the district with 8 Hieracia, and 4 peculiar plants. Characteristic or Rare Plants. Thalictrum alpinum. Saxifraga umbrosa. Naias flexilis.

DISTRICT IX.— NORTH CONNAUGHT. East Mayo, Sligo, Leitrim, Roscommon. Area, 3086 sq. miles—Flora, 697 species and sub-species. Maritime. The most striking physical feature is the great cliff- scarped plateau of Ben Bulben in Sligo and Leitrim, where the lime- stone reaches to upwards of 2000 feet, a height to which this formation approaches nowhere else in Treland. The chief summits in this plateau are Truskmore, 2143 feet; Annacoona, 1963 feet; and Ben Bulben proper, 1722 feet. In the extreme west, the Ox mountains, of primitive formation, reach to 1778 feet in Knockachree. Lakes are numerous. The west shores of Lough Ree belong to the dis- trict; also Loughs Allen and Bofin on the upper Shannon, and Loughs Gill, Melvin, Arrow, and Gara in Sligo. No less than 28 Highland type plants, out of a total of 41 for all Ireland, occur in xvi INTRODUCTION. the district, and of these 28 are found within the narrow limits of the Ben Bulben mountain group. The marked alpine character of the flora at moderate elevations on this isolated limestone mass is the most salient feature in the botany of the district. There are 7 Hieracia and 8 peculiar species, one of the three, Sazifraga nivalis, being the rarest of all the Irish alpine plants; another, Arenarta etliata, finding on Ben Bulben its only station in the British Isles. The rare orchid Habenaria intacta, also unknown in Great Britain, reaches in this district its extreme northern limit for Europe. Characteristic or Rare Plants. Thalictrum alpinum.

Area, 3733 sq. miles.—Fiora, 681 species and sub-species. Inland, save for a few miles of salt marsh along the estuary of the Newry river in the south-east. A large district with diversified physi- cal features. In the west andsouth-west, the Erne basin offers a wide- spread and complex lake system, including Upper and Lower Lough Erne, Lough Macnean, Lough Oughter, and Lough Gowna. In the east, the south and south-west shores of Lough Neagh, belong to the district. On the northern boundary are the Sperrin mountains, with Sawel, 2240 feet; Meenard, 2061 feet; and Dart, 2040 feet ; but only the southern slopes of this range belong to the district. In the south-west are Cuilceagh, 2188 feet; Tiltinbane, 1949 feet ; and Shevenakilla, 1793 feet. There is a large area of limestone in Fermanagh, rising in many places to a height of about 1000 feet. In spite of the large extent of the district and the diversity of its surface, the flora is poor. Highland type plants number only 17; there are 7 Hieracia and 5 peculiar species.

Maritime, with very broken coasts and deep sea inlets.. The islands of North Aran, Tory, and Inishtrahul belong to this district. The whole surface is mountainous or hilly, with numerous lakes and streams, the Finn, a branch of the Foyle, being the only river of importance. The chief summits are Errigal, 2466 feet; Slieve Snacht West, 2240 feet; and Muckish, 2197 feet, towards the north- west; Slieve Snacht, 2019 feet, in the north; Croaghgorm, 2219 feet, and Slieve League, 1972 feet, in the south. This is the most northern of the Irish botanical districts, with a flora in which the Highland type is strongly represented by 30 species, or three-fourths of the total for all Ireland. Of these 30 species, no less than 20 are found congregated in the neighbourhood of Slieve League within a radius of one mile, and, with one exception, at heights not exceed- ing 1500 feet. Such an association of alpine plants at comparatively low-levels is altogether unexampled elsewhere in Ireland, and sets in a strong light the northern character of the flora of this district. The contrast with the large and lofty mass of the Kerry Reeks with their alpine flora of 12 species is most striking; and perhaps still more striking is the contrast with the extended and elevated group of the Mourne mountains, which, while they lie but half a degree of latitude southward of Slieve League, yield, as the Reeks do, only 12 alpine or Highland species. In this district Sax¢fraga umbrosa and Euphorbia hiberna reach, in the Inishowen peninsula, their extreme northern limit for Europe. The only peculiar species is Zrollius europeus. lxviii INTRODUCTION. Characteristic or Rare Plants. Thalictrum alpinum. Carum verticillatum. Cephalanthera ensifolia. Trollius europeus.

Maritime, with large areas of mountainous or hilly country. The great development of the basalt in Antrim and Derry distinguishes this from all the other Irish botanical districts. Some 1200 square miles are covered by a vast sheet of this volcanic rock which, in some places, has a thickness of more than 1000 feet. The chief summits of the basaltic region are Mullaghmore, 1825 feet, Ben Bradagh, 1536 feet, and Ben Evenagh, 1260 feet, in Derry; with Trostan, 1817 feet, Slievenanee, 1782 feet, Divis, 1567 feet, and Agnew’s Hill, 1558 feet, in Antrim. The famous Giant’s Causeway and the fine columnar sea cliffs of Bengore and Fair Head, in North Antrim, belong to this formation. The highest.summits in the district are found in the south-east in the picturesque granite massif of the Mourne mountains with Slieve Donard, 2796 feet; Slieve Comme- dagh, 2512 feet; Slieve Bingian, 2449 feet; and Slieve Bearnagh, 2394 feet. Chalk, underlying the basalt, appears in many places along the Antrim coast and on Rathlin Island, but has no true out- crop and noinfluence on the flora. Thenorthern and eastern shores of Lough Neagh belong to the district. There are no other lakes of any importance, and the only considerable rivers are the Bann and the Lagan. Though by its position not on the whole so northern as District XI., the flora of this district has perhaps a more northern character. It has, indeed, but 29 Highland type plants to 30 in Donegal; but this deficiency is counterbalanced by the greater INTRODUCTION. lxix number of its Hieracium species and forms, and of its Scottish and Intermediate type plants which may be taken as representing the boreal element in our flora. Out of a total for all Ireland of 29 species and forms of Hveracium, District XII. has 26 against 15 in Donegal, while the number of the Scottish and, Intermediate type plants taken together is 49 in XII, to 43 in XI., out of a total of 60 for all Ireland. There are 10 peculiar species, of which the most interesting are Adoxa Moschatellina and Carex Buxbaumit, both, it is to be feared, on the verge of extinction. Characteristic or Rare Plants.

The map issued with this work is designed to serve two pur- poses, first to mark the precise limits of the Irish Botanical Districts, second, to show clearly the range of the more interesting plants, especially the Hibernian Type species discussed in Section IV. of the Introduction. The manner in which the twelve districts are defined on the map needs no explanation; but the significance of the curved lines of distribution may not be apparent to all. These lines are intended to show the eastern limits of the various plants selected for this graphic treatment. Thus Eriocaulon septangulare is only found in those parts of the island lying to the westward of the long sinuous line marked with itsname; Habenaria intacta, only to the westward of the shorter and more abruptly curved line marked with its name, and so on with the other species so treated. It. is scarcely necessary to say that the range of each species within lxx INTRODUCTION. the defined limits is by no means continuous. With the wider ranging species, Saxifraga umbrosa, Euphorbia hiberna, and Erio- caulon septangulare, it is, indeed, remarkably discontinuous ; and the longer breaks in the range of these plants are indicated by carrying out to sea the appropriate curved line for each. For instance, Euphorbia hiberna, the Irish Spurge, is shown to have a fairly con- tinuous range in the south-west, to disappear for a long interval in the west, where it occurs only in the island of Inishturk, and to re-appear for a space in northern Donegal. The known Trish area occupied by some of the species is so inconsiderable that they cannot properly be said to have any range, and the position of these is indicated by a loop (Inula salicina), or even by a dot (Arenaria ciliata). Theremarkable restriction of the Hibernian type plants to the west and south-west of the island was first shown by this system of distribution curves in the original edition of this work. In the present, the curves have been carefully revised, so as to bring them into conformity with the latest information. X. Expranatory Nores on tHe Text, Nomenclature.—In revising for this second edition the nomen- clature adopted in the first, the law of priority has not been invariably followed. A widely familiar and long established name has always been allowed to stand when the only reason to be urged against its retention was the existence of an earlier published name, long since become obsolete or never admitted to general currency. Whatever may be the final result of the resuscitation of such obsolete or still-born names in obedience to the strict letter of the law of priority, the immediate effect must be to cause that confu- sion which the law was designed to prevent or to remove. The present work makes no claim to be regarded as an authority in nomenclature. It seeks to be intelligible and easy of reference for all who are likely to make use of it; and these ends, it seems to the editors, may best be secured by retaining, despite of their illegality, many well-known and long-established names. These names are, perhaps, doomed to extinction in the not very distant future; but it may be confidently predicted that they will remain familiar long after this work has served its purpose and been laid aside as obsolete. Native Plant Names.—As a rule, only such native names as are widely current in the Irish-speaking districts of Ireland have been reel? INTRODUCTION. lxxi introduced into the following pages, and it should be borne in mind that what is given is little better than a selection from a large body of names, many of which are of more local extension or of less precise application. A phonetic rendering ofthe Irish has been added, but in many cases, and, above all, in dealing with the gutturals so impracticable for English speech-organs, this conveys very imperfectly the sound of the native name. The meaning also is given unless where it is hopelessly obscure. Every Irish plant-name received into the text has been ascertained by personal inquiries carried on in the counties of Kerry, Clare, Galway, and Donegal to be in actual use among the Irish-speaking peasantry, and the greatest pains have been taken to insure accuracy of appli- cation. Lack of time for more extended inquiry has unfortunately obliged us to leave this feature of the text incomplete. The further study of the subject is earnestly recommended to Irish botanists, especially those resident in the West. Trivial Names.—Although names in the English tongue have been given for almost every species in the text, many of these are not trivial names or, indeed, English names in any true sense of the words. They are often merely translations of the scientific names, but it has seemed best to give them a place in a work which may be frequently consulted by unscientific readers. Aggregates and Sub-species.—In a few instances aggregate species have been retained, either because the known district extension of the aggregate was greater than the joint known extension of the segregates, or because there was as great a difficulty in selecting any . one of the segregates as type to which the others might be subor- dinated as sub-species as there was in allowing all the segregates to take equal rank as species. Sub-species are distinguished by printing the name in italics in the centre of the page; varieties are preceded by the contraction Var., the name of the author being affixed in brackets where the plant was originally proposed by him as aspecies. Where a hybrid or suspected hybrid plant has been named on the ordinary binomial system, this name has in all cases been retained, followed by the names of the supposed or ascertained parents, thus :—Stachys ambigua Smith—S. palustris x sylvatica. District Distribution.—F or the commoner species the distribution is shown simply by the insertion of the district numbers at the head of the paragraph. In the case of rarer plants, definite locali- ties are given for each district. in which they are ascertained to occur. Where the plant is locally abundant or common, definite £2 lxxii INTRODUCTION. localities are given only for the districts in which it is rare. The inclusion in brackets of a district number at the head of a para- graph indicates that the plant is doubtfully established, or perhaps extinct in that district. The district distribution as shown at the head of each paragraph includes that of all the Irish varieties as well as of the type. Native and Non-native Plants.—In the text the numerous plants known or suspected to have been introduced by human agency, whether accidental or intentional, are distinguished from the apparently native plants by the usual signs, t, {, or *. The first of these denotes that the plant to whose name it is affixed is open to a slight suspicion of having been introduced by the agency of man, the second that it was probably, and the third that it was certainly so introduced. Perhaps not one of the non-native plants known to occur in several of the Irish botanical districts stands on precisely the same footing in each. While apparently all but native in one district, a plant may be obviously introduced in another; and since it is beyond the scope of this work to exhibit the standing of each non-native species in the various districts in which it may occur, the sign selected in the text is that which denotes for each of such species its highest standing in any part of Ireland—that is to say, its standing most closely approaching to true nativity. Range in Latitude—In tracing the range in latitude of Irish plants, the island has been assumed to lie between the parallels of 513° and 552° North latitude, the extent of land lying north and south of these limits being inconsiderable. Within these limits the range of each species has been ascertained to the nearest quarter degree. With some of the rarer or more local plants the range has been given with greater precision. It has not, how- ever, been thought necessary to give the range in longitude for each species. Those which have a distinctively eastern and western distribution will be found set out in the section (VII.) of this Introduction dealing with Topographical Groups. Botanical Types—For the purpose of comparison with the British Flora, Watson’s botanical type-names have been given for each species save those peculiar in the British Isles to Ireland. These have been classed under the name Hibernian type. To the explanation of Watson’s types already given in a previous paragraph of the Introduction, it may be added here that the union of two type-names, as in the compounds, British-English and English- Germanic, indicates that the plant so classed, while belonging to the INTRODUCTION. xxiii type indicated by the first component in the compound name, has a tendency to enter the type indicated by the second component. Flowering Seasons—In the case of wide-ranging species the periods given are a mean between the northern and southern flowering seasons for Ireland. In the peculiarly mild and equable Irish climate the flowering period of many species is prolonged far beyond what is usual under the more continental conditions which obtain in Great Britain, and to a greater or less degree the absence throughout southern and south-western Ireland of any well-defined winter season makes it difficult to fix the precise limits of the flowering periods. Relations of Sovls and Plants.—In the following pages special attention has been drawn to the effect exercised by the varied con- stitution of soils on the distribution of plants. While the great mass of the commoner or ubiquitous species exhibit, as a necessary condition of their wide range, an almost absolute indifference in this respect, some smaller groups of plants show in various degrees a preference for, or an aversion from, certain soils. Though very strongly marked in many cases, this preference or aversion perhaps in no instance reaches to absolute exclusiveness. Broadly speaking, the presence or absence of lime in a soil would appear to be the most potent and prevalent cause of the observed preference or aversion, and the terms caleccole and calcifuge most fitly express this relation of plants and soils. A caleicole species is one which inhabits by preference a soil containing lime in sufficient quantity to give a brisk effervescence with acids ; a calezfuge species is one which avoids such a soil; and the use of these terms does not imply the adoption of any theory as to the precise action of the lime whether direct (chemical) or indirect (mechanical). Following the example of M. Contejean,! from whom the use of these convenient terms has been borrowed, an attempt has been made in this work to divide the calcicole and calcifuge species into groups corresponding to the strength of the observed preference or aversion. These groups have been distinguished by the letters 4, B, and C. A species marked Calcifuge A is one which very rarely appears on soils containing an appreciable proportion of lime; a species marked Caleifuge B, though it may appear not infrequently on lime soils, is invariably found in far greater abundance and luxuriance on soils from which lime is absent; and a species classed as Caleifuge C is one which, though occurring freely in both calcareous and non-calcareous soils, ) Geographic Botanique—Injfluence du terrain sur la Vegetation.—Ch. Contejean, Paris, 1881. lxxiv INTRODUCTION, is appreciably more abundant in the latter. Similarly, but in an inverse sense, the terms Caleicole A, Calcicole B, and Calcicole C denote the preference of certain species for limestone soils. Such preferences are less frequent and less strongly marked than are the aversions shown by the calcifuge group. In other words, the repulsive influence of lime on one group is much stronger than its attraetive influence on the other. The classification of the Irish calcifuge and calcicole species adopted in the text, though founded exclusively on observations made in Ireland, will be found to agree closely with the results arrived at by Continental observers. ‘Whatever the value of this tentative grouping may be, it will serve at least to draw the attention of Irish botanists to a neglected, though deeply interesting, branch of their science. Range in Altitude.—Since the publication of the first edition of this work a large mass of material dealing with the vertical range of plants in the various mountain groups of Ireland has been accumulated, and this material has been largely availed of in the present edition. For every species not distinctly lowland, that is to say, confined habitually to levels not exceeding 500 feet, the highest observed altitudes in Northern, Middle, and Southern Ireland have been given. Along with these maximum altitudes, the descent of such species to sea-level in North and South Ireland is also stated whenever it is ascertained to occur, it being assumed that a plant which reaches sea-level in the North and in the South, say in Antrim and in Cork, will also reach the same level, in all the intervening latitudes, and, indeed, all round the Irish coasts where suitable stations occur. Plants observed between actual sea-level and a height of 50 feet above it are classed as sea-level. For various reasons, chief amongst which are the insufficient height of the mountains, and the rarity and unequal distribution of the Highland type species, every effort to deduce from the Irish statistics, alone, any law of relation between latitude and vertical range of plants seems doomed to disappointment. N evertheless, the statistics have been rather fully given in the text in the hope that they may be found useful for comparison with similar statistics for Great Britain. Three papers have been largely drawn on for the Irish vertical ranges, Mr. H. C. Hart’s Range of Flowering Plants and Ferns on the Mountains of Ireland, Messrs. Barrington and Vowell’s Report on the Flora of Ben Bulben, and Messrs. Stewart and Praeger’s Report on the Botany of the Mourne Mountains, quo- tations from these being distinguished respectively by the con- tractions Hart, B. § V., and S.& P. In addition to the printed INTRODUCTION. lxxv papers quoted from, a large mass of unpublished notes by the editors and others have been made use of. Citation of Published Records.—In quoting from the numerous papers on Irish botany published within the last thirty years, the necessity for some contracted scheme of reference very soon became apparent. It was decided to adopt one which would show at once the author of the paper and the date of its publication, thus giving the authority for the plant and the approximate date of its discovery. The author’s surname directly followed by the date of his paper gave in almost all instances a clear and concise reference. Only in the case of double authorship was it found necessary to resort to the use of initials. Where an author was found to have published two or more papers in the same year these were distinguished by Greek letters affixed to the contraction. In illustration of this scheme the following instances may be taken: Hart 1883, denotes a paper pub- lished by Mr. H. C. Hart in 1888, the precise title and place of publication being found by reference to the Alphabetical List of Papers Again, Hart 1883 a, and Hart 1883 B, denote second and third papers published by the same author in the same year, the particulars of title and place of publication being found, as before, by reference to the list. As an instance of double authorship, the con- traction B. & V. 1885 denotes Messrs. Barrington and Vowell’s Report on the Flora of Ben Bulben, published in 1885; 8S. & P. 2892, Messrs. Stewart and Praeger’s Report on the Flora of the Mourne Mountains, and so on through the various papers quoted from. The various books, papers, journals, &c., denoted by the contrac- tions used, whether in this or in the first edition, may be readily found by reference to the Alphabetical List. Throughout the text, observations made by the editors of the first edition are distinguished by the names, Moore or More, those made by the editors of the present edition by the initials V. C. or R. W. S.; and with a very few exceptions, such as, Rev., Prof., Miss, and Mrs., all titles and appellations have been discarded for the sake of brevity. In the case of observations by well-known Ivish botanists here published for the first time, the surname alone is used. Thus Hart, affixed to entries in the present edition, without any date following the name, denotes a hitherto unpublished record by H. C. Hart, the author of the numerous papers set out in the Alphabetical List, and similarly with the names Barrington, Stewart, Levinge, Praeger, Phillips, and others, and with the initials ¥. C.and Rk. W.S. In general, where an entry concludes with a personal name and nothing more, the entry must be taken as a record here published lxxvi INTRODUCTION. for the first time. The observations recorded in the various books and papers quoted from have usually been made by the respective authors of the books or papers. Where exceptions to this rule occur, the name of the observer precedes, in parentheses, the contracted reference to the book or paper; thus (@. H. Kinahan): Rec. Add. denotes an observation made by Mr. G. H. Kinahan, and first pub- lished in Recent Additions to the Flora of Ireland, in 1872. Appendiz.—All plants recorded as Irish, but in our opinion not fully entitled to a place in the flora, have been relegated to one comprehensive Appendix. There are some obvious disadvantages inseparable from this arrangement, since it groups together such diverse categories as errors, casuals, escapes, and semi-naturalized species; but the facility of reference which it secures will, it is hoped, be found to more than counterbalance these disadvantages. In many instances the question whether a plant should take its place in the text or in the Appendix could only be answered con- fidently after a tedious weighing of the often imperfect or distorted evidence: in a few it could hardly be answered with confidence at all, and the final decision merely expresses the preponderance on one side or the other of conflicting sets of probabilities. A good deal of historical interest attaches to the first recogni- tion of an alien species which eventually succeeds in winning a permanent place in a flora. But the difficulty of forecasting which of the many candidates for admission may be destined to effect a permanent lodgment is only too obvious. Some subtle mutual fitness between the immigrant species and the complex set of new conditions it encounters in a new country may at any time give rise to an unexpected addition to a flora. Hence it has seemed best in drawing up this Appendix to admit many plants whose prospects of final establishment may at present appear but slender. Along with these, a place has been given to a considerable number of aliens already semi-naturalized and almost entitled to rank as members of the flora, full details being given as to the present standing of both classes. Attention is thus drawn to the material which may be expected to feed the future growth of the Irish flora, and to do this must be regarded as amongst the chief ends to be served by this Appendix. \ 4 DISTRIBUTION IN THE DISTRICTS.

In Ireland, confined to the counties of Cork and Kerry, where it is abundant in many parts of its restricted area and reaches its extreme northern limit for Europe. Ranges on the Continent from Northern Spain to the Jura and the French and Swiss Alps. Perhaps the most beautiful of the Hiber- nian type plants. From sea-level (R.W. S.) to 2250 ft. in Kerry (Hart). First found, by James Drummond, near Macroom, in 1809. The most eastern native station known for this species is at Carrignavar in about 8° 30’ W. longitude. There is reason to fear, however, that an attempt made to naturalize the plant much farther to the eastward may ultimately prove successful, and give rise to a mistaken view as to the extension of its natural range. About half a dozen roots having been introduced into a wild piece of bog near the foot of Blackstairs mountain, Co, Wexford, in 1879, were found in 1896 to have increased to 27 plants which flowered freely—see Ir.
