FIELD MEETINGS, 1949

magnificent patcli of Lycopodium aunotinum. In the heather leaves of 
Pyroki rotwndifolia were observed and nnmerous plants of Listera cor- 
data in flower. Tea w'as taken at Coshieville Hotel. 
Unfortunately several people were unable to stay on for the pleasant 
informal meeting which took place in the Palace Hotel, Aberfeldy, wdien 
Mr Wilmott examined and discus.sed the day’s finds. 
The optional second day’s meeting was arranged with the object of 
refinding ThJusjn aipestre on Ben a’ jChuallaich, not known to have been 
seen there since the collection of the specimen in the herbarium of the 
Perth Museum. 
On the way to the hill a brief stop was made near Dunalastair to 
view a wooded slope carpeted with Trientalis europaea in full flower. 
The party was divided into several groups so as to cover as much of 
the hill as possible and to reach the widely separated limestone outcrops 
— the specimen’s label indicating a calcicole predilection. 
Miss McCallum-Webster and Mr D. Spence were the lucky ones 
finding a colony of about fifty plants with a few bearing flowers. It is 
hoped that seed may be collected later for an attempt to grow specimens 
for comparison with plants from other British and foreign localities. 
The meeting may be described as highly successful and fully demon- 
strated the usefulness of concerted effort, and the Scottish members 
present expressed the hope that a similar meeting should become an 
annual event. 
A number of those coming from a long distance stayed on in the 
district and saw many of the local specialities in fresher condition than 
at the usual July visits. Mr Ogilvie found a fine specimen of Neottia 
nid'us^avis in Aberfeldy in an old locality, but this species is a rarity in 
the Highlands and deserves mention. 
The co-operation of Perthshire and Angus Naturalists w'as a very 
pleasing feature of this meeting. Thanks are expressed to all who helped 
■and especially to Mr Thomas Poore, Mr Duncan Poore and Mr Wilmott 
for very kind assistance and to Miss AIcCallum-Webster for making lists 
of plants seen on both days. IID species were noted on Schiehallion and 
111 on Ben a’ Chuallaich, a list of the more interesting from the latter 
hill is appended.
