INTRODUCTION.
STEWART and Corry's /'lora of the North-East of Irtland was published
by the surviving editor, Samuel Alexander Stewart, in 1888. Itgaveforthe
first time a full account of the flora ot the home counties of the north-eastern
botanist (Down, Antrim and Londonderry).
In ISilf) a fir.st Supplement to the Flora was published by S. A. Stewart and
R. Lloyd Praeger, in which a considerable number of additional species, and newlocalities for rarer species, were given.
The object of the present publication is two-fold. It forms a second Supple-
ment to tiie Flora, detailing the additional information relative to local plant
distribution that has accrued in the twenty-eight years which have elapsed since
the appearance of the tirst Supplemeut. And secondly it is designed to act as a
synopsis of our knowledge of the flora up to date. To effect this, all plants
which oc('ur in the district are included, and to the details of any additional in-
formation relative to each species which may have accrued since the issue of the
first Supplement, a reference is added to the page of the Flora or of the first
Supplement on which earlier information concerning the plant in question is to
be obtained. While the list of plants thus represents the whole Mora as at
present known, the reader, in order to obtain full information as to the distri-
bution of a species, must consult the Ftora and the tirst Supplement at the pages
named, in addition to noting the additional stations given.
The ineparation of the present Supplement was entrusted by the Committee
of the Belfast Naturalists' Field Club to a Sub- Committee consisting of S. A.
Bennett, B.Sr., N. Carrothers, 11. Lloyd Praeger, D.Sc, A. W. Steliox. W. J. C.
Tomlinson, Rev. C. H. AYaddell, B.D., and Sylvanus Wear. The labour ot jire-
paring the manuscript from all existing material fell entirely on the last-named;
this task he carried to a successful close, and after a brief illness he died within a
week of its completion ; its thoroughness and accuracy are a fitting memorial of one
of the most careful and industrious of local workers, and one of the most helpful
and most modest of men. Death has been busy among the lanks of local botanists.
The present i)ublication enshrines the last work of Canon I,ett and Mr. Waddell,
both of whom did so much for h-ish botany, and also posthumous notes of W. J.
C. Tomlinson, Rev. S. A. Brenan, Mrs. Leebody and S. A. Stewart. Stewart's
later work was mainly published in the first Supplement in 189"), to which S. A.
Brenan, J. H. Davies, Miss Knowles, Mrs. Leebody, Canon Lett, R. Lloyd
Praeger, and C. 11. Waddell were also extensive contributors. Of those who
contributed in any material measure to the original Flora published in 1H88,
the present writer is the only one left alive.
Progress of Research.
At the time of its publication, the Flora of the North-East of Irelandj)resented the most detailed account of plant distribution yet published for anypart of tliis country. The numerous stations for the rai-er plants which it gaverepresented the -work of m;iny past and present workers, notably John Tenipleton,
David Moore, William Thompson, G. C. Hyudman, Ralph Tate, George Dickie,
William Milieu, and F. Whitla. But the great bulk of the material represented
S. A. Stewart's own work. He had been collecting information for twenty-five
years, and had been exploring the area systematically during the greater portion
of that period. His co-editor T. H. Corry was di-owned while botanizing onLough Gill only a short time after he had joined Stewart in the scheme, whichthrew more work still upon that indefatigable botanist. Taking into accountStewart's limited time and narrow circumstances, and the fact that he was self-
taught in botany as in other things, the Flora is a noble monument to his
industry.
But the district was by no means exhausted. The " Supplement," publishedseven years later, gives a list of some twenty additions to the Flora, exclusive of
some twenty -five Bramble and Hawkweed segregates, and includes many import-ant exten.sions of range. The fact that the number of additions is not larger in
spite of active Avork on the part of local botanists shows the thoroughness ofStewjtrt's work.
Now, thirty-live years have elap?ed since the f'lora was published, and amuch greater advance can be recorded. Exclusive of segregates of Rubus, Rosa,and Hieracium, the number of species added to the original Flora is about fifty-
flve. Mo.st of these are wholly new discoveries so far as the North-east is con-cerned, but some had been, or were supposed to have been, found previously,
but were not admitted to the Fhra on the grounds of being not native nornaturalized, or wrongly named. These additions include some very interesting
plants, a few of which deserve special mention.
Spiranthes Romanznffiana is the most interesting member of our flora. ThisOrchid, widely .spread in northern North America (and just crossing BehringStraits into Asia) was for eighty-two years (1810-1892) known in Europe onlyfrom a limited area of County Cork. Its discovery in Armagh in 1892 has beenfollowed by the finding of numerous other stations around Lough Neagh and onthe Upper and Lower Bann ; while confined to the one river system, it is nowknown to occur in the Counties of Down, Antrim, Derry, Tyrone, and Armagh,and in many of its stations it is [jresent in considerable abundance.
And just as our area can now claim to pos.sess one of the American plantswhich give an added interest to the flora of Leland, so it can now also show oneof the southern species which are a striking feature of the Irish flora, and whosemingling with the northern plants in the AVest of Ireland forms one of the mostremarkable phenomena of European vegetation. The grass Glycena trstncae-
formis, found abundantly around Strangford Lough (and also in tlie Shannonestuary) is elsewhere exclusively Mediterranean in its range.
The Scottish nnd Scandinavi.ui element in tlie Irish flora has its focus in Co.Antrim, and this featuie has been eni])liftsi>;ed by the finding in that county of
three northern Sedges, dair.v /xnici/Zura, (,'. inli/ua, U. ai/nalilis, (tlie tirst twocontined in Ireland to the Antrim moors), as well us various Hawkwceds. 'J"he
local alpine flora, (whicii is poor in spite of tiie elevated habitats olfered by theMourne Mountains) has been enriched by the addition oi ^nKs.iuiea nlpiiia.
(Jn the other hand, work in Co. Down especially has extended into our district
the range of a luiuiber of ])lants whose centre of distribution lies further south in
Ireland. Some of these are seacoast plants
—
Cuch/raria (otglica (Derry), Trigo-
nella or)iithopodioides (Down), Cnthmum maritimuin (Down, Antrim), Artemisiamaritima (Down), fitatictoccideuddia (Down), Zostrra nana (Down). Others arecharacteristic of the Central Plain of Ireland. This is a limestone area withmuch water, and the spread of .some of the plants to Co. Down has apparentlybeen assisted by the disjtersal over the Silurian area during the Ice Age of lime-
stone from Castle Espie near Comber. In Co. Antrim the basalt furnishes a soil
rich in lime, while along the ooast limy sands have allowed the spread of other
calcicole species. The additional plants which are characteristic of the CentralPlain include Ramtuculns circiualits, Stellaria palustris, Orchis pyramidalit,
I'oiamofff'ioii pUiutaginetis, Charu pobjacaiUha.
The finding of Carex ejileusa on Lough Neagh is interesting, adding anothermaritime species to the group of seaside plants which form a peculiar feature ofthe flora of that lake. This group now includes Viola Ciirtisii, Spergulariarupestris, Ceraslium semidecaiidrum, C. arvetise, Erodium cicutarium, Trijoliumarveusf, Scirpus mariiimus, S. Taheruaemoittani, Carex extensa. These are in
Ireland all characteristically maritime species, and several of them have no other
inland station in the country.
Othei' interesting additions include Nasturtium sylvestre (Down), characteristic
of the river system of S.E. Ireland; Teesdalia tiudicaulis {Down, also Tyrone)unknoM-n elsewhere in Ireland ; Galium sylvestre (Antrim), elsewhere in Ireland
contined to the western limestone rocks from Kerry to Leitrim ; Eypochaerisglabra (Derry). only Irish station ; Allium oleraceum (Antrim), only Irish
station ; and Hordeum sylvaticum (Antrim), only Irish station.
Among critical plants good progress has been made. Thanks mainly to thework of Canon Lett and Mr. Waddell, the local Brambles are tolerably wellworked out, particularly those of Co. Down. Mr. Waddell also did much useful
work at the Roses, and a number of botanists have collected Hieracia. Theprogress made may be rightly measured by a comparison of the number of forms
—
species, varieties or hybrids—of each group recorded in the Flora and in thepresent publication. In the I'lora Rubi number 34, Kosae 18. Hieracia 19.
The numbers now stand at -Rubi 79, Rosae 55, Hieracia 45.
As regards the e.\tensive section of the flora which is not indigenous to thecountry, the new records, so far as naturalised species are concerned, refer less
to new-comers or to plants which have recently been discovered than to others
which, long kno\\n in our area, have increased their hold, and may now beadmitted as established. Many of these are Central or Soutli European plants,
which became established in Southern Ireland before reaching the North : suchare Draba muralis, Lepidium Draba, Lactuca muralis, Erinus alpiuus, Juncus
VI.
teiiui.1. Others ;ire Xorth American plants
—
Senebiera didywa, Matriraria
discoidea, Mimnlus guttatus. Veronica peregn'na, also American, differsfroni
these in havinp; its Irish centre of dispersal in the Xorth. The number of casuals
recorded from our district has been increased largely, and no doubt some of them
will in turn obtain a permanent footing, and be admitted in future Floras as
fully established.
Besides actual additions to the local flora, a large number of very satisfactory
extensions of range of rarer plants is now recorded. In the following list some
of these are given ; and in the figures following the names an indication is shown
of the past and present standing of the plants, the first figure representing the
number of stations (some of whicli have not been verified since) known when the
Flora was published, and the second figure the number of stations discovered
since (?/ meaning locally frequent).

Polypodiian Bryopierix ( ,, 1840).
Pihdaria glohidiftra ( ,, 1834-3S).
To the last category a few more plants must now be added, as most of themhave not been seen in the district since the publication of the Flora thirty-
five years ago, and some of them (as shown), for a longer period :—
Subidaria aqiuUica (1870).
Salix nigricaiix (1834-38).
S. phylictfolia (1834-38).
Zannichelliu polycarpa (1890).
Eriophornm latifolium (1834-38).
Carex Buxbaumii (1886).
Equixelum rarirgatum (1834-38).
Jlyiaenophylliiin, tunbridyenxe (1884).
Plants withdraavn from the Flora.
In the 18S5 Supplement, five plants were withdrawn from the I-lora, as given
below, and for the reason shown :
—
Ononis spivosa (casual).
Jiosa micranlha (error).
SilituK pralensif! (casual).
Calamintha officinali>^ (casual or error).
Primula i-eris (not established).
The judgment regarding the first four of these still stands, except that the
first was probaldy an error, hut the last may be reinstated, as it is well
established about Rostrevor. A few additional species must now be withdrawnfor the reasons given :
—
Fmnaria mnraJix (error).
Ruhuft Chamne.morm (outside our area).
Matricaria Chainomilla (error).
Allium vineale (error).
To these two lists must he added List (2) on p. vii, if the total of plants
withdrawn from the Flora of ihe Nui th'East is to be obtained.
Topographical.
If we view from a topographical standpoint the progress which has been madesince tlie publication of the Flora in 1888, we find that the largest contri-
bution of new plants has come from the exploration of eastern Down. "Work in
the Ards, and in the interesting area lying between Strangford I.ough andDundrum Bay, has resulted in many additions to the flora : and the exploration
of the ^loinne ilountains has added some good plants. On the other hand,
central and western Down have never received much attention, and undoubtedlyrequire further work—their lakes and marshes in particular.
In Antrim, searches on the I.ough Neagh shores have restored to tlie flora
many of the rather numerous plants which for many years eluded rediscovery
there, and have also added some interesting species. The grand clifts and glens
of the eastern coast have yielded some good additions, and the plateau bogs of
Garron and Dunloy have well repaid the work that has been bestowed upon them.The course of the Lower Bann, and the central parts of the county, are less
known.
J^ondonderry, least known of the three counties when the Flora waspublished, still occupies the same position as it did then, the reason being its lesser
accessibility from Belfast. About IMagilligan good work has been done, but
almost all the remainder of the county calls tor exploration— the shores of LoughNeagh, the valleys of the Bann and Roe, and the mountainous areas in the centre
and west in particular.
Natives and Aliens.
Somf! trouble has l)epn taken in the present compilation with regard to the
difficult question of native and non-native species. Much confusion and want of
uniformity of treatment exist in local Floras on this question, owing partly to its
inherent (lifficulties, hut in great measure to the lack of clear thinking. In
studying vegetation from this standpoint, several courses are open to the botanist.
We may argtie, as Woodruffc Peacock did,' that since man is a j)roduct of
nature, his operations should rank as natural processes, not to be distinguished
as regards plant dispersal from those carried out by the beasts and l)ird8. Pur-sued to its logical limit, this view would lead us to include in the local flora every
plant gTo\\ ing within the area, from true natives to specimen conifers, potatoes,
and tropical orchids.
A more usual and less e.xtrenie view would take no cognisance of species planted
and maintained by man. such as crop plants and the contents of gardens andgreenhouses, but would include in the flora all casual followers in man's train-
plants introduced in the course of agriculture and commerce, and maintaining
themselves by man's assistance, in the way of keeping down the native vegetation
by cultivation, &c. This is approximately the view of the Moia of Sorth-Eatt
h-eland, in which such dependents as the Poppies and Fumitories are included
in the flora without coninient. In many other works {^e.y. " Cybele Hibernica,"" Irish Topographical Botany") an attempt is made to go further, by using signs
meaning "possibly introduced," "proi)ably introduced," '
' certainly introduced,"
&c. But these terms are vague and need clear definition.
When we think how catastrophic has been the influence of man during the last
couple of thousand years upon the pi'eexisting vegetation, biult up by the slow
processes of competition, migration, and secular change, and how unstable and
e])hemeral is the vegetation which occupies the area of his occ\ipation, it seems
desirable from every point of view, and especially from that of the study of plant
geograjihy, to separate, in an analysis and discussion of the flora, so far as we can,
the pre-human flora from that which has resulted from the practice of agriculture.
In countries such as our ow!i, where almost every portion bears the imprint of
man's handiwork, this is not always easy, and can only be attempted with a clear
understanding of the problem, ^^'e aim at leconstructing the aboriginal flora
from a study of that tlora on the area at the present time. What are the tests
to be employed? What do we mean by an aboriginal or truly native plant t' It
has seemed to the writer that the definition of S. T. Dunn,* provides the most
convenient answer to the question :— a native plant is one which has spread by
natural ( \.e. non-human) means from a natural source to a natural habitat. Three
points are thus involved -jiarentage, dispersal, habitat -and human influence on
any one of the three will rule a plant out from ranking as fully indigenous. Anexample of failure on each of these three points will make the test clearer.
1 !•;. A. WoodrntTe-Peacock : Nattrenantl Alienn. ".louni. of l!ol.', xlvi. :Mi». 1908.
(1) Mimuhit guttatiix is not native bv our mountain streams because, thoughit came there by natural seed dispersal, the source of the seed Tvas a garden.
(2) Fiiiffuicula grandiflora is not native in wild ground at Blackstairs, Co-
Wexford, because the roots were brouglit there from KeiTy by a botanist.
(3) Equisetitm variegafiim is not native along the Royal Canal, though it lias
spread there naturally Iroiu native stations, because its habitat there is artificial.
Such tests are often not easy to apply, but it seems certain that the attempt
should be made, for without such inquiry it would be impossil)le to study the
flora in the light of its past histoiy, or to attempt to use the evidence of the
plants for bygone changes in climate or iu the distribution of sea and land.
In the following pages, then, a clear distinction is made between plants
believed to be aboriginal, and those which on any of the above counts owe their
l)resen(e in our district to human influence : the former being printed in Claren-
don type, the latter in Italic. In the case of tlie latter, plants which are con-
sidered as established in the area so long as present conditions (natural or artificial)
remain, appear in italics without brackets ; while the names of those which are
looked on as not established, as well as those which have been recorded in
error, are printed in italic within brackets.
Mosses and Hepatics.
The present publication differs from the Flora and its First Supplementinasmuch as the Flowering Plants and Pteridophytes alone are dealt with, no
attempt being made to bring up-to-date our knowledge of the Mosses and Hepatics.
The recent death of the leading local workers at these groups. Canon Lett andEev. C. H. Waddell, is mainlj' responsible for this. But recent information
respecting the distribution of these plants is available—as regards the Mosses,
in Canon Lett's "Census Catalogue of the Mosses of Ireland" (Proc. R.I.
Academy xxxii. Sect. B, 1915), and as regards the Hepatics in the same writer's
"Catalogue of British Hepatics" (1904) and McArdle's "List of Irish Hepaticae"
(Proc. R.I. Academy ixiv, 1904).

For the new records in the following list we are indebted mainly to thepaper in the Irish Naturalist referred to below. Most of the other recordswere sent in by the late Rev. C. H. Waddell, wlio read the diaft copy andwrote the folluwing note :
—
"The brambles in this I.,i8t are arranged according to Rev. W.Mo_\le Rogers' "Handbook of British Kubi," 1900. except that
sub>pecies are put as varieties as in the ],ondon Catalogue. Thespecimens, with few exceptions, liave been seen by Mr. Rogers, andthis is signified by the mark ! A few which he has not noted in these
counties and some older records wliich require confirmation, are put in
italics. See an important paper in Irish Naturalist, 1901, p. 213," Some Xorth-East Ireland Rubi " by Rev. W. Moyle Rogers,F.L.S."

Mo»t of tlie new records in this list were supplied to us by the late Rev.C. II. A'addeli who also looked ov»'r the draft copy and wrote the accompanyingnote. The final arrangement and noinenclaturo were sugtcested by Lt. Col.
Wf'Ucy- Dod, who kindly revised the list on the lines of his latest suggestions onthis difficult group. The present list follows the onler of his " l{evised
.\rrangenicnt of Hritish Roses'" 1920, and he has named most of those in the
li.si. A few have het^n named hy Rev. .\. Ley. A record followed by the
sign I inilic.itfi- tliat it hu.s been named by one or other of these antiiorities.
Mr. Waduei.l's Note.
Tile airangenient of British Roses given below is far from complete andnot so advanced as that of the Brambles. Much has still to be done in correlating
British and (.'ontineTital species. Some of our forms do not exactly correspond
with tlic Continental forms under which they have been placed and the namesgiven in these cases are provisional.
The group hn'oluta is widely spread in Co. .Vntrim. There are manyforms of the groups ^Arwrrt', tomeulosa and mollis in the district: coritfolia is
not common ; caniua forms do not appear to be so numerous as in England.Now that the older species have been split up into subspecies older records will
require re-examination.
Reference should be made to the following papers by \,\.. Col. Wolley-Dod, which appeared us Supplements to \\\b Journal of Botany and have been
published separately.
" Subsection Eu-cauina of tlie Genus Rosa " 1908. "The British Roses
(excluding Eu-canina) " 1910. '-A List of British Roses" 1911 (which
gives the distribution at that date in Irish counties). "A Revised Arrange-
ment of British Roses" 1920. Also a paper by Rev. A. Ley m Journalof Botany 1907 p. liOO on "Roses of the Mollis-tomentosa Group."

92 ORCHIDACEyE.
This is the most interesting plant in our local flora. Widely spread
across North America (and extending into Kamtschatka), it was from1810 till 1892 known in Europe only from the neighbourhood of Castle-
town Eerehaven in West Cork. In the latter year it was discovered in
Co. Armagh, and has since been shown to occur in all the five counties
(Down, Antrim, Derrj-, Tyrone, Aimagh) which border on that lake,
extending up the Upper Bann to above I'ortadown, and down the LowerBann to C'oleraine. Its European centre of distribution has thus beenchanged from S.W. to X.E. Ireland. In many places round LoughNeagh it occurs in tolerable abundance. Consideralile doubt has been
expressed recently as to whether the Ulster plant is identical with that
from Cork and Kerry. Examination by experts leaves it doubtful
whether either is Chamisso's X. American plant. For its relation to
5. stricta Rydberg, a recently described American segregate, see
'•Irish Nat.," xv, 188. The whole matter is under investigation at
present.
