Report of the Botanical Section. 



The Committee have much pleasure in reporting that the 

 work done by this Section since last Annual Meeting has been 

 well maintained, with results which we regard as very satisfactory. 

 The attendance at the meetings during the Winter Session 

 was the largest since the formation of the Section. 



The weather during the Summer of 191 1 was exceptionally 

 favourable for outdoor work. Many special localities were visited 

 by our members and some interesting plant records made, of 

 which we select the following as being the most important : — 



Orobanche rubra and Cuscuta Epithymum, at Killard Point, 

 Co. Down ; Spiranthes Romanzoffiana at Kilmore, also in Co.
