1906-1907.] 473 



The following interesting casuals have been found in the 

 immediate vicinity of Belfast by members of the Section : — 

 Bupleurum rotundifolium, Galium iricorne, Sisymbrium Sophia, 

 Erysimum cheiranthoides, Erysimum perfoliaium, Camelina 

 sativa, Lepidium sativum, Lactuca virosa. 



It was suggested early in the Session that several visits 

 should be made to^ the ground acquired for the New Cemetery 

 at Dundonald, and a complete list made of all the plants, both 

 rare and common. It was also expected tO' yield some good 

 results, as plenty of fresh ground had been turned up during the 

 improvements. As a result of those visits, a list of 125 species 

 in all was made out, including the following rare plants: — 

 Orobanche minor, Carduus setosus, Malva moschata, Barbarea 

 intermedia, Lamium amplexicaule, Artemisia Absinthium. As 

 this list is more or less incomplete, it is intended to be revised 

 and completed this summer. 



During the Winter Session the following meetings were 

 held: — November 17th, Lecture by Rev. C. H. Waddell, B.D., 

 Subject — "Collecting and Preserving Plants"; January 19th, 

 Paper by Mr. W. J. C. Tomlinson on " The Homes of our Rarer 

 Wild Flowers: a Study in Plant Geography"; February i6th, 

 Lecture by Rev. C. H. Waddell, B.D., " How to Know our 

 Common Mosses"; April 13th, "Notes by Members of the 

 Section on Plants Collected and recorded during the Session ". 

 All these meetings were well attended, and a keen interest taken 

 in the subjects. 



A considerable number of mounted plants have been added 

 to our Herbarium, the contributors being Rev. C. H. Waddell, 

 B.D. ; R. L. Praeger, M.R.I.A. ; Madame Christen ; and Mr. R. 

 Hanna. 



As there are a good many plants still wanting to complete 

 the list of our Local Flora, the Committee hope the Members 

 of the Club will assist in collecting specimens of these plants 

 during the Summer Session, so that our Herbarium may contain 

 a complete list of all our local native plants.
