23rd July 1954.
A very wet day after a brilliant dawn, with mist, drizzle & rain as a warm front approached from the west.
Left hotel (myself alone) & walked up the Lowers Burn to Lochan-nar-Cat & had lunch at 1.10 at foot of the Stuic & then went up the steep gully between The Stuic & Meall Garbh seeing the usual plants but at top also Cystopterus montana & on Meall Garbh side Juncus trifidus in crack of rock (as in 1953) & Saussurea. [[margin]] Half way up the big gully & on the E. face of the Stuic there is a colony of a Hieracium of the sub alpina group. In letter of 3rd Feb. 1955 J.E. Lousley says this is H. gracilifolium! AWS. [[/margin]]
Next went down into the Fin Glen & up its W. scarp nearest the Stuic, where saw nothing special, & round the W. side of the Stuic facing the Corrie Leath passing a series of very nice srings below the Stuic - Ben Lawers col, in one of which found a small plant of Juncus castaneus; then up to the Raven's Rock having tea on route at 4.0 P.M. & down to the "bog" where the Juncus biglumis & Kobresia grows, but could see no more Carex vaginata being now hurried. After this climbed up to cross head of the big gully of N. corrie in which snow lies & then made a cross-traverse of the upper N. corrie at about 3,400 feet (in thick mist) & came out at 5.30 P.M. on the E. ridge at the first dip & marsh (where J. biglumis) & so back to hotel at 6.40 P.M. During later part of this traverse - after passing the last rocky scarps, saw quite a lot of nice clumps of [[strikethrough]] Sagina nivalis [[/strikethrough]] only young Arenaria sedoides, on the steep, bare, turfy slope & here I fancy is its headquarters.
