Fup, 1908.] SCOTTISH ALPINE BOTANICAL CLUB. 325 
tana with variegated fronds and one or two forms yet 
to be tried and named, together with some varieties of 
Athyrium ff. and Cystopteris fragilis var. polydactyla. Orehis 
maculata was found in great beauty and luxuriance in a 
marsh by the side of the road. Carex pallescens and Seutellarva 
galericulata were also found. Another member angling on 
Loch Tay brought home a basket of fine trout. 
On Thursday, the Ist of August, the party made an early 
start in order to climb Beinn Lawers. The day was fine 
though dull. Three of the party commenced the ascent at 
the burn in order to visit the Corrie. Here Myosotis alpestris 
was found in great quantity and in fine flower, showing that 
in spite of the numerous plants taken by botanists, a con- 
tinuous supply is evidently kept up on the lower ledges. by 
means of seed falling from plants on the higher and inac- 
cessible portions of the rock. In addition to this, Arenaria 
rubella was also gathered. The following plants were found in 
the Corrie and by the burn side :— Adoxa Moschatellina, Aren- 
aria rubella, Chrysosplenium alternifoliwm, C. oppositifoliwm, 
Draba alpina, D. incuna, Gentiana campestris, Gymnadenia 
conopsed, Habenaria viridis, Myosotis alpestris, M. sylvatica, Salva 
reticulata, S. herbacea, Saxifraga cernua (in flower), Veronica 
saxatilrs. 
The members of the party who made the ascent from the 
hotel found the following plants:—Arenaria rubella, Carex 
atrata, C. capillaris, C. eurta, C. ovalis, Cerastiwm alpinum, C. 
trigynum, Cherleria sedoides, Cornus suecica, Epilobiwm 
alpinum, Epulobium alsinefolium, Juncus biglumis, Saussurea 
alpina, Saxifraga cernua. 
All the members reached the top in safety, where they 
duly drank to the health of the President, who was present. 
A strong wind was blowing, but though the day was dull no 
rain fell, and a fair view was obtained of various well-known 
mountains. The whole of the party made the return journey 
to the hotel past Loch-na-Chat, and in the Corrie on the 
north side of the mountain considerable time was spent 
looking for Carex ustulata, but unfortunately none of the 
members were lucky enough to find a plant. 
All were more or less tired after the long day on the 
mountain, and on reaching the hotel, its comforts of various 
kinds were much in request and duly appreciated.
