FOURTH DAY IN THE FIELD


We were brought by a Landrover up to the cabin at Plesniec at 1290 m. Here is a cottage with a poster saying that Göran Wahlenberg botanized here in 1813. This was prior to his book Flora Carpathica, published in 1814.







Three of us decided to walk slowly through the forest down to village, wheras the rest headed for alpine limestone rock walls. The rocks were very rich in lichens, e.g. Placynthium spp., Squamarina lamarckii, Toninia alutacea, T. taurica, and T. tristis.
