Topic: River Dodder


  
  Dodder - a plant parasite - Cuscuta Grammica Colorado State University Cooperative Extension Tri River Area
Dodder is classified as a member of the Morning-Glory Family (Convolvulaceae) in older references, and as a member of the Dodder Family (Cuscutaceae) in the more recent publications.
Dodder is particularly troublesome where alfalfa, clover and onion are grown for seed because dodder seed is difficult to remove from the desired seed crop and can be spread with infested seed.
Dodder seed can be spread by irrigation water, in the manures of livestock that have eaten infested alfalfa, or along with the seed of crops that were infested with dodder.

 Ringsend Port and Pidgeon's House
For a time the river was constrained to return from "its perverse course" to its original channel, but later on, as maps of the period show, the river broke bounds again, and gave necessity for a temporary wooden bridge as well as the permanent stone one.
Owing to the spreading of the Dodder at its mouth these cars, which were of most primitive construction, were able to cross the river at low water, and flew over the sands between Ringsend and Lazar Hill, now Townsend Street, without waiting to consider whether bridges were available.
As it was seen that it would be useless to deepen the mouth of the river unless measures were taken to prevent the influx of sand from the coast to the south of Ringsend, the construction of a barrier, where the South Wall now runs, was undertaken at a very early stage of the work.

For transporting a tun of wine from the river as far as any house outside the walls, 3d.
