Campanula Trachelium in Co. Roscommon. 



On the i6th July, 1910, on the occasion of an excursion to Lough Ree, 

 two of the lady students detected a clump of Campanula Trachelium 

 growing under a willow on the east side of the railway line about half- 

 way between Athlone and Kiltoom stations. Whether it grows in a less 

 artificial habitat in the neighbourhood I am unable to say, but as it is a 

 rare species in Ireland its occurrence seems worth noting.

Septoria Lepidii, Desm., a new Irish Fungus 



During a botanical excursion to the Devil's Glen, Co. Wicklow, on 



the 19th July, 1910, specimens of Lefiidium helerophylluni were obtained 



which bore small black spots on the leaves. These were kindly 



examined for me by Sir Henry Hawle}-, Bart., who stated that they were 



due to the presence of the fungus Septoria Lepidii^ Desm. This species 



has not been previously recorded from Ireland. During August last I 



also found the same fungus abundant on the fruits of Lepidium hetero' 



phyllufH at Greyabbey, in Co. Down.
