| Abstract |
On 13 September 1990, DM discovered a Black Walnut Juglans nigra L. measuring 25mm in length and 31mm in diameter stranded on Fanore Beach (M140080, 53.1173 0N, 9.2871 0W), County Clare, on the Atlantic coast of western Ireland. The specimen, which represents the first record of J. nigra from Irish waters and the 54th from NW Europe, was donated to the National Herbarium, Dublin (DBN: 2019). The occurrence of stranded Black Walnuts on NW European maritime shores is reviewed. |
