A fine morning, turning misty about noon, then dull, then drizzle about 3 P.M. & rain later. Went up Coumaknock, with Mr. & Mrs. Smith (of Dublin), parted from them at top of [[image]] zigzag path above highest tarn, & we went N., they S. to summit of Brandon. We had lunch in shelter above coomb N. of Coumaknock & then walked on [[strikethrough]] to [[?Purasmore]], where on N.E. side a little below summit found Hart's station for Polygonum viviparum: here this plant quite abundant growing amongst dense vegetation of grasses, sedges & mosses, with much sheep droppings, on flat ledge between the rocks, & looking very like dwarf Rumex acetosa - so much so that but for Hart's record we would not have looked at it twice. By this time rain coming on, so cut down to Owenafeana valley & over ridge to Faha & so hom at 6.30 P.M. [[/strikethrough]] A mistake! See p.40 for record of Polygonum vivparum!
