The Scottish Alpine Botanical Club was founded in 1870, 

 twenty-one years ago, so we have now reached our majority 

 — and during these twenty-one years we have made annual 

 excursions, and with three exceptions, these excursions have 

 been to the Highlands of Scotland. The three exceptions 

 being — to Teesdale and Kirkby Lonsdale in England in 

 1884 ; to the Hardanger District of Norway in 1887 ; and 

 to Connemara in Ireland in 1890. 



These annual excursions have afforded much happiness 

 and pleasant' intercourse to the members of the Club, and 

 in addition, have contributed not a little to our knowledge 

 of the flora of Scotland. Among the most notable discoveries 

 made by the Club during these excursions may be mentioned 

 the discovery of Gcntiana nivalis, L., in Chamacreag, by 

 Professor Bayley Balfour on 3d October 1872 ; the discovery 

 of Carex frigida (Allioni), a plant new to the British Isles, 

 in Corrie Ceann-mor, and of Salix Sadlcri (Syme), a plant 

 new to science, both plants being discovered in the same 

 Corrie by the late Mr John Sadler on 7th August 1874. 

 On 31st July 1880. the Club discovered a new station for 

 Thlaspi alpestre, L., in Glen Taitneach, near Spittal of Glen 

 Shee. It is probable that it was during the excursion of the 

 Club to Braemar in 1883 that Mr lioyd gathered that 

 remarkable Sagina wliich b(!ars his name. On 4th August 

 1885 I gathered on Ben Laoigh three plants of Aspidium, 

 Lonchitis with every frond crested. During our excursion 

 to Glen Spean in 1886 Mr Boyd discovered a new station 

 for that rarest of Scottish plants Suxifraga cmsjiitosa, L., and 

 which I believe to be the only known station for this plant 

 in this country. During the same excursion we discovered 

 two new stations for Saxifraja rivularis, L., and one for
