Herbarium specimen: Athyrium distentifolium

Taxon:Woodsiaceae: Athyrium distentifolium Tausch ex Opiz ("Alpine Lady-fern")
Other name:Polypodium alpestre var. imbricatum
Collected by:Donald A Haggart
Collection date:22/9/1889
Locality:Great Britain, VC88 Mid Perthshire, Ben Cruban ?, NN43, Breadalbane
Institution:Perth Museum and Art Gallery (PTH)
Accession number:PTH.1999.420.414
notes:Under 'Pseudathyrium flexile' in the Flora of Perthshire (White,
F.B., 1898), 'Ben Cruban' is given as 'near Killin'; Athyrium
flexile is known today from Glen Lochay (Checklist of the Plants
of Perthshie, PSNS 1992). Since it occurs in gullies, screes
etc. in north-facing corries above 900m, 'Ben Cruban' is likely
to be Meall a'Churain (NN4632), Beinn Cheathaich (NN4432), or
Meall Glas (NN4332).
