BOTANY. 
Orobanche rubra in Leitrlm. 
On July 29, while we were climbing the cliff-bound humpy hill lying 
just east of KeJogyboy, in Co. Leitrim, my wife found two specimens of 
Orobanche rubra. This is t e second record from the Ben Bulben district, 
a single specimen having been found at Rosses Point, Co. Shgo, in 1905, 
by M s. W. F. Johnson {I.N., xiv., 222). The locality lies three miles 
n( rth of the east end of Lough Gill.

Tall Plants. 
No doubt the frequent rain of early summer is the cause of the unusual 
vigour of many herbaceous plants this season. In the Lough Gill neigh- 
bourhood in July I measured Foxglove 9 feet 8 inches in height, Cow 
Parsn p 10 feet, Agrimonia odorata 7 feet, and Habenaria viridis 1 foot 
2 inches.
