Joyce unpacked "L'Arcs en His Cieling Flee Chinx on the Flur" for HSW in a letter (26Jul 1927):
  1. God's in his heaven All's Right with the World
  2. The Rainbow is in the sky (arc-en-ciel) the Chinese (Chinks) live tranquilly on the Chinese meadowplane (China alone almost of the old continent[s] has no record of a Deluge. Flur in this sense is German. It suggests also Flut (flood) and Fluss (river) and could even be used poetically for the expanse of a waterflood. Flee = free)
  3. The ceiling of his [E] house is in ruins for you can see the birds flying and the floor is full of cracks which you had better avoid
  4. There is merriment above (larks) why should there not be high jinks below stairs?
  5. The electric lamps of the gin palace are lit and the boss Roderick Rex is standing free drinks to all on the 'flure of the house'
  6. He is a bit gone in the upper storey, poor jink. Let him lie as he is (Shem, Ham and Japhet)
  7. The birds (doves and ravens) (cf the jinnies is a cooin her hair and the jinnies is a ravin her hair) he saved escape from his waterhouse and leave the zooless patriark alone.

[H.M. Fitzpatrick's 1933 "The Trees of Ireland, Native and Introduced" in Finnegans Wake ]

This seems to have been a 60pg article (or a seven-page pamphlet reprint?) from "The scientific proceedings of the Royal Dublin Society" Vol.20 No.41, November 1933, pp597-656?

Nature magazine said "The mild, moist climate of Ireland is particularly favourable to the growth of trees, and Mr. H. M. Fitzpatrick has done a valuable service to both foresters and botanists in gathering together (Sci. Proc. Roy. Dublin Soc. 941, November 1933) particulars of the trees introduced into Ireland, and as to where specimens of these trees may be found. Statistics of tree dimension have been collected from no less than seventy-two estates. The wide variety in conifers is particularly striking in the list. Mr. Fitzpatrick states that broad-leaved trees have been less and less in fashion since the introduction, about 1840, of many of the North American conifers, which flourish so remarkably in the Irish climate."

Joyce managed to squeeze 67 cites into four clusters: p100, 159-160, 235, 246. He picks out random words that tickle his fancy:

'Liquidamber... exotics... Balsam Poplars... Parteen-a-lax... limestone... Abies magnifica... Noble Fir'  →
100: "(you may have seen some liquidamber exude exotic from a balsam poplar at Parteen-a-lax, Limestone Road, and cried: Abies Magnifica! not, noble fir?)"

'exposed situations... Umbrella Pine... shelter belts... True Service... clean bole... Weeping Beech... PICEA... TILIA... wild state... Cricket-bat Willow... nurseryman... genus... Butternut... Sweet Gum... Manna Ash... Red Cedar... hawthorn... Curraghchase... Plane... Lodgepole... introduced... pineta... vernirubens... Deodar... pure stands... habitat... self-sown seedlings... species... largest individuals... elevation... Conna Hill... False Acacia... Common Sallow... is tender... POPULUS... Hickory... Arbor vitae... roadside... Alder... Whitebeam... Oak' →
159-160: "(The meeting of mahoganies, be the waves, rementions me that this exposed sight though it pines for an umbrella of its own and needs a shelter belt of the true service sort to keep its boles clean—the weeping beeches, Picea and Tillia, are in a wild state about it—ought to be classified, as Cricketbutt Willowm and his two nurserymen advisers suggested, under genus Inexhaustible when we refloat upon all the butternut, sweet gum and manna ash redcedera which is so purvulent there as if there was howthorns in Curraghchasa which ought to look as plane as a lodgepole to anybody until we are introduced to that pinetacotta of Verney Rubens where the deodarty is pinctured for us in a pure stand, which we do not doubt he has a habitat of doing, but without those selfsown seedlings which are a species of proof that the largest individual can occur at or in an olivetion such as East Conna Hillock where it mixes with foolth accacians and common sallies and is tender. Vux populus, as we say in hickoryhockery, and I wish we had some more glasses of arbor vitae. Why root by the roadside or awn over alum pot? Alderman Whitebeam is oaky-o.)"

'timber tree... Lucombe Oak... Turkish Hazel... Greek Fir... Incense... hypsometer... Mount Anville... died out... Athrotaxis... LARIX... Yew... Thuja... Wych Elm... Ranelagh... flourishing... in the open... native... seed in quantity was sent by Fortune' →
235: "...nab what's nicest and boskiest of timber trees in the nebohood. Oncaill's plot. Luccombe oaks, Turkish hazels, Greek firs, incense palms, edcedras. The hypsometers of Mount Anville is held to be dying out of arthataxis but, praise send Larix U'Thule, the wych elm of Manelagh is still flourishing in the open because it's native of our nature and the seeds was sent by Fortune."

FDV2: "dead. But on the morrow morn of the suicidal murder unrescued & expatriated half past ¼ to 9 o'clock saw the unfailing spike of smoke plume punctual from his 7th gable and ten thirsty p.m., the lamps of maintenance lighted for the long night a suffusion of leadlight panes. Therefore let it be neither said nor thought that the inhabitant of that sacred edifice was a parable merely nor more strictly H.C.E. a nonens. Not one of his many contemporaries seriously doubted or for long of his legitimate existence."
