10th June, 1959
It was a beautiful warm, sunny evening, with a blue sky and a few cumulus clouds. The plot looked very fresh and green, but there were many flies and gnats hovering in the undergrowth. There was quite a lot of cuckoo spit on the long blades of grass and on other plants. A number of different grasses were collected for identification.
Bittersweet was found growing among the small Sycamores.
Some of the Sycamore leaves were found to be covered with a red spotty growth, other of the leaves were covered with white spots - specimens were collected.
Bittersweet - Solanum Dulcamara
Yorkshire Fog - Holcus Lanatus (this is a grass species, Ed.)
