Report of the Botanical Section. 



There were no special meetings of this Section held during 

 the Winter. 



The following interesting finds have been recorded : — 



Rev. W. R. Megaw reported Andromeda Polifolia in 

 Shaverogue's Bog, near Kellswater Station. The plant is in 

 considerable quantity in this station, and the find makes a very 

 welcome addition to our Co. Antrim flora. In its only remaining 

 Co. Down station it was seen by myself on 8th July, 1916. 



The following extensions of ranges which have recently come 

 to hand through Mr. C. J. Lilley are worthy of note : — Carum 

 verticillatum from the Roe Valley and Lastrea Thelypteris from 

 Magilligan. 



As regards Casuals Mr. C. J. Lilley sent in a list of 19 

 plants from Ballyrudder, near Lame. These plants were first 

 recorded in 1903, 1904 and 1905, and the following still survive 

 in this station : — Medicago sativa, dehor ium Intybus, Anthemis 

 Cotula, Convolvulus arvensis. 



To his list published in the last Botanical Report Mr. N. 

 Carrothers adds the following plants from the Ballymacarrett 

 Station: — Diplotaxis bracteata, Anthemis Cotula, Anthemis arvensis, 

 Echium vulgare, Carduus acanthoides, Xanthium s/rumarium, 

 Hordeum nodosum, Silaus pratensis.
