- Title
''A botanical encampment at the foot of Ben Voirlich June 22<sup>d</sup>. 1821'' by Robert Kaye Greville, and a Scottish beetle.
- Authors
Nelson, E. Charles
- Abstract
A lithograph and an ''etching'' depicting the same botanical excursion into the Scottish Highlands in June 1821 led by Professor William Jackson Hooker are reunited. The encampment depicted was on the west shore of Loch Lomond at the base of Ben Vorlich in Dunbartonshire. The participants probably included John Scouler and David Douglas, but a French entomologist, Charles Nodier, missed the excursion. A few weeks afterwards in the Highlands Nodier found some insects he did not recognize and named one, a beetle, after Hooker.
