484 Th£. Botanical Camp Committee on 



The second party, consisting of Mr Grieve, Mr Rattray, 

 and Dr Watson, reached Invernierran on Monday, 3rd 

 August. On the 4th, Mr Grieve and the author walked 

 along the south side of the loch, and the former then 

 made his way to the summit of Craig Mohr, 3300 feet 

 high, and found among other plants Polygala vulgaris var. 

 depressa, Saxifraga hypnoidcs and oppositifolia. 



On the 5th the party climbed Ben Vannoch and Ben 

 Achallacher, the latter 3400 feet high. During the ascent 

 from the Merran stream, great quantities of Lysimachia 

 nemorum and two specimens of Malaxis paludosa were 

 got. On Ben Vannoch the best plants found were Thalic- 

 trum alpiniim, Saxifraga stellaris, and Juiicus trijidus. 

 Ben Achallacher is remarkable for its very abrupt rise 

 from Loch Tulla on the west, and its very gentle slope on 

 the east, down to the Old Woman's Burn (allt faillich), a 

 tributary of the Merran. The plants got on this hill were 

 mixed with those from Ben Vannoch; but the two are 

 continuous, and form a single group. 



On the 6th of August we ascended Ben Heasgarnish. 

 The day was very misty, but Messrs Grieve and Rattray 

 remained all day wandering over the hill, and reached 

 home at 6 p.m. Among the plants found were Gnaphalium 

 supinum, Juncus acutijlorus, and Saxifraga nivalis. Dense 

 mist and several heavy showers of rain interfered with 

 successful plant-collecting. 



On the 7th, two of our number went up the Avon Glass 

 or Grey Water to the source of one of its tributaries. 

 One chose to climb to the top of Cham Craig, 2887 

 feet high, and then crossed to the flank of Craig Mohr ; 

 while the other collected plants along the whole of the 

 west flank of Craig Mohr. Saussurea alpina and a very 

 stunted form of Systopteris fragilis were gathered. 



The author went up the Merran Water to the watershed 

 between Glen Lyon and the Moor of Rannoch. Though 

 the elevation was not great, the view was an exceedingly 

 beautiful one. Crossing Meall Tionnail, the following 

 were got: — Alchemilla alpina, Galium saxatile, Valeriaiia 

 samhucifolia. Hieracium murorum, Meiiyanthes trifoliata, 

 Utricular ia minor, and Hymeuop)hyUum Wilsoni.
