(xould records those twoatid also P. maculata, and gives localities 

 for P. aurea at Norbradal, Longvatn, and Midfjord. His speci-

I am convinced that the plant which I gathered is F. 



Vahl includes M eollina (Ehrh.) ; and Lindsay follows him. Is 



it not probable that there is some mistake here ? F. eollina is 



a very distinct species (see J. G-ay in Bull. Soc. Bot. Fr. viii.). 



It is stated that F. vesca does not usually produce fruit in Iceland.

Horrebow, in his ' Natural History of Iceland ' (Tilforladelige 



Eftessetniger om Island), is in the English translation made 



to state that £lackberry Bushes are common in the island; 



in the French translation it is '* quelques petits buissons tela 



que de ronces." In the original ''som Bromboer " is the term 



used ; and that is the name of the common Bramble in Gothland, 



as stated by Wahlenberg, and in Norway, according to Gunner. 



It is clear that Horrebow made a mistake ; for the only Ruhiis 



known to exist in Iceland is E. saxatilis. The plant which he had 



in view is the Fmpetrum nigrum, as I learn from my friend Eirikr 



Magniisson.
