Tb? Bee Orchis in Co. Donegal.

Rev. A. H. Delap writes to Dr. Scharff that he found a Bee Orchis

{Ophrys aptfera) on June 24, at Coolmore, on Donegal Bay, and that Mr.

Hugh Allingham, of Ballyshannon, informs him that he obtained a specimen of the same plant at Wardstown, four miles south of Coolmore, some years

ago. This beautiful Orchid has hot previously been found inJ Donegal. It

is in Ireland ^trongly calcicole, ranging north-west across the Central

Plain to Sligo, Fermanagh and Monaghan. It is interesting to have it now

recorded from southern1 Donegal, where the Carboniferous limestone

finds its extreme limit.

Deyeuxia neglecta var. Hookeri.

A friend has just sent from Norfolk specimens of Deyeuxia neglecta identical with the Var. Hookeri of Lough Neagh. In fact it looks more

like lapponnica than Moore's original Hookeri did.

Trichomanes radicans and Asplenium lanceolatum in Co. Carlow.

On December 14th, 1913, while snail-hunting in a wood in Co. Carlow,

I was agreeably surprised to meet with an overhanging, dripping rock, the

underside of which was covered with a luxuriant growth of the rare and

beautiful Killarney Fern (Trichomanes radicans). The rhizomes were

over three feet in length and some of the fronds, in fruit, measured from

twelve to fourteen inches.

On July 4th, 1915, I found Asplenium lanceolatum growing plenti

fully in a bohereen near Gowlin> at the foot of Blackstairs. The fronds

varied, according to the situation in which they grew, from three to twelve

inches in length. These interesting plants are additions to the flora of District III. of

'* Cybele Hibernica

" as well as to that of Co. Carlow. The only previous

Irish records for Asplenium lanceolatum are from Cork and Kerry.
