10. 23.5.48., cont. Devil's Glen, WI., cont. - a most distressing sight. Amongst plants on Miss Tottenham's (N.) side saw Red Campion, Prunus Padus & P. avium, Festuca sylvatica, Milium effusum & young spikes of a huge grass with 1/4 inch diam. "furry" stems & nearly 1 inch wide leaves (= Bromus?); also Columbine, pink & whitish form, Carex sylvaticus, C. laevigata, & C. divulsa; but could not see any of the Welsh Poppy on S. bank - perhaps owing to amount of dead branches thrown into the river. Collected into two suckers as follows:- Off hazel, beech, oak, birch & Salix, &c. between gate at ruined lodge & top of Z road = 1. Off shrubs & underscrub by roadway between ruined lodge & foot of glen = 2. Had cup of tea in sun 200 yards below gate at foot of glen at about 5-15 P.M. & had just finished when terrific hail shower burst on us. Left in car about 5.50 & drove onto dry road at Nun's Cross to Ashford; passed Ashford at 6.2 P.M. & home about 7.5 P.M. the Talbot now being in its 23rd year & I in my 65th year. 11. 23.5.48, cont.
