of the Mora of Braemar^ N. 



Mr. Croall, of Montrose, having last year, as stated in our Journal, 

 accomplished a botanical tour in the Mountains of Clova, a few friends 

 (who contributed to the expenses of that visit) were so gratified with 

 its results, from the rarity, beauty, and correct nomenclature of the 

 specimens, especially of the Cryptogamous plants, that they have re- 

 commended him to spend a portion of the present and following sum- 

 mers entirely among the mountains of Braemar, Ben-vrotan, Loch-na- 

 gar, Ben-na-mac-dhui, Ben-na-bourd, etc. This country, already so 

 interesting from the richness of its alpine vegetation, becomes doubly 

 so, as including the loftiest group of mountains in Scotland. 



The collections will be prepared for sale in small folio Fascicles, en- 

 titled 'Plants of Braemar,' each containing a century of species, care- 

 fully dried, and named, in English and Latin, with the localities ind- 

 cated, and neatly attached on good white separate leaves of paper, at 

 the price of Thirty Shillings. Two, or perhaps three such fascicles, or 

 centuries, will be ready during the present year (1854), and Mr. Croall 

 expects to complete the work in five Fascicles, during the following 

 year (1855). The specimens will be all numbered, for the facility of 

 iuture reference. 



Subscribers' names will be received by Mr, A. Croall, Castle-street, 



Montrose; and Sir W. J. Hooker, K.H., Eoyal Gardens, Kew, will be 



happy to forward the names of any subscribers that may be communi- 

 cated to him.
