13th June 1946.

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!
