Mar. 1911.] BOTANICAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 171 
REPORT OF THE SCOTTISH ALPINE BOTANICAL CLUB, 
1910. By ALEXANDER Cowan, Esq. 
The Club met at the Spittal of Glenshee Hotel on July 
11th, as the members were unable to find sufficient accom- 
modation at the hotel at Clova, where it was originally 
proposed to hold the meeting. 
The district is reached after leaving the railway at 
Blairgowrie by the road leading north up Glenshee, and it 
continues after leaving the hotel over the Devil’s Elbow on 
the Cairnwell on to Braemar. 
Leave having been very kindly granted to the President 
of the Club by the representatives of the proprietors, a large 
extent of very interesting ground was visited, where large 
quantities of deer were seen; but though a good number of 
plants were gathered, the members were unfortunate in not 
finding Lychnis alpina, which is known to grow in this 
district. 
The weather during the week was extremely hot and 
dry ; indeed, it was too dry for botanising or walking with 
any comfort, as there was practically no breeze at all, and 
the sun was so hot as to be quite oppressive. 
On Tuesday, July 12th, the members motored about five 
miles up the road to within a short distance of the Devil’s 
Elbow, from which point they commenced a long climb and 
tiring walk in order to visit the rocks at Caenlochan, where 
the following plants were found :—Allosorus crispus, Alope- 
curus alpinus, Aspleniwm viride, Botrichium lunaria, 
Cerastium alpinum, Chrysosplenium alternifoliwm, Coch- 
learia alpina, Carex atrata, C. aquatilis, C. capillaris, 
C. curta, C. dioica, C. panicea, C. pulicaris, C. rariflora, 
C. rigida, C. stellulata, Draba incana, Dryas octopetala, 
Epilobium alpinum, Erigeron alpinum, Gallium boreale, 
Habenaria viridis, Helianthemum vulgare, Juncus tri- 
glumis, Lastrea propinqua, Loiseluria procumbens,
