26th June 1954. 

A very cold day with drizzle & N.W. gale.  Left hotel (alone) with a Mr. Thomas & walked up to top of the E. ridge of Ben Lawers where had lunch at ca. 3,400 ft. at 1 P.M.  After lunch tried to cross ridge to look at Sax. rivularis  - about 30 feet from lunch place - but after 3 attempts gave up, as each time I was blown back by the gale from the N. corrie escaping over the ridge.  Then went on up to summit keeping as far as possible in lee of the ridge in cold driving misty drizzle & occasional sleet.  On way over a scree above last V. notcn in the ridge saw a single leaf of Parsley Fern sticking out from under a stone - this is not very far as the crow flies from the one discovered by H.W. Daltry in 1952.

Saw all the usual plants, including Sax. cernua, Draba rupestris & around cairn Sagina nivalis, as well as visiting my plant of Sax. rivularis in hollow under rock 22 yards west of the curved wall in the so-called "crater".  Next went along N. ridge for half a mile & dropped down to the flush where Juncus biglumis seen in 1951 & again found it in plenty with the little single-flowered form of J. triglumis.  In the same flush saw 4 or 5 with spikes of a green sedge just coming into flower which looks like C. vaginata & took one.  Then went down steep slope to where the snow lies
