The Gentian, as one might have expected, was there; but it was run close by Saxifrages, and by linaria alpina, and was beaten by Thlaspi rotundifolium, which latter plant was the highest I was able to secure, although it too was overtopped by a little white flower which I knew not, and was unable to reach.
