| 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). |
