Although at first sight this may appear to be a merely local 

 study in ecology, it actuall}^ has a wide application over all rocky 

 summits in peaty moorland regions so common in Scotland and 

 in northern Europe. A detailed Vegetation map of the area 

 Shows that a group of rocky summits (660 metres) bears a more 

 varied Vegetation than the surrounding peat; the aim of the authors 

 is 10 show that the occurrence of the plant associations is due to 

 past history, to physiography. and to ecological adaptation of the
