25.5.44, cont.  Corrignabinnia, Co. LK.

Plants seen on bluffs on N. face about 200 ft. below summit.  The best place is at extreme W. end of bluffs where cliff higher & some spots out of reach of sheep:  here saw one lovely patch of Vacccinium Vitis Idaea (not recorded by Hart) growing with V. Myrtillus & much Salix herbacea, Campanula rotundifolia, with small patches of a very hairy-leaved, densly tufted Saxifrage of the hirta type (but did not see the hypnoides or fine-leaved form on these cliffs at all);  also saw a few tufts of Oxyria digyna, a few plants of Sax. stellaris (on wet peat for most part) & Asplenium viride, with possibly a few seedlings of Cystopteris fragilis.  On these cliffs Oxalis acetosella quite abundant & in flower & this plant also occurred in chinks of rocks & on sward round same almost on summit above the cliffs, although Hart gives it upper limit in Galtee of 2,000 ft. at least 650 ft. lower than this station.  Galium saxatile, Calluna, Rumex Acetosa, Chrysosplenum, Luzula sylvatica,

Lycopodium Selago, Hymenophyllum peltatum, Viola Riviniana also seen on the cliffs & for the most part frequently.  On the wet plateau above much [[Ca?]] [[?nig]] & Carex rigida seen - at least I assume it was rigida, but only one flower spike seen & this just coming into flower.

Geranium Robertanium, Fragaria vesca, Ash trees, Rowan's, Lathyrus montanus, Vicia [[?sepen]], Sax. cf. hirta & Sax. cf. hypnoides, Ivy, Lonicera, Salix aurita (1 bush);  Ranunculus Ficaria, Digitalis, Epilobium (? montanum), Viola Riviniana, Blechnum, Polypodium, Lastrea filix-mas.

Also collected a few mosses on Limerick-Tipp. boundary stream, which Miss Jeannie Thomson subsequently reported included Polytrichum alpinum for more of which I am looking.

On way up slope to The Stone Man at about 1700 feet we met a Painted Lady
