430 Floristik und Systematik der Phanerogamen. 



In the Summer 1904 the author has made a trip to the northern 

 Norway and investigated the flowering plants in the district from 

 Sulitälma-mountains to the sea-coast at S a 1 1 e nf j o rd. He gives 

 an extensive report of the more interesting systematical discoveries of 

 which we take the following main-points. 



Among Antennaria dioica and A. alpina some intermediate indivi- 

 duals were found, but as A. alpina is parthenogenetic, the author does 

 not allow himself to take them as hybrids and is not able to give any 

 satisfactory explanation of their origin. 



He describes some new forms of various plants, viz. Campanula 

 rotimdifolia, f. grandiflora Neum., Plantago maritima var. punctata 

 Neum., Rliinanthus minor, subsp. resimus Neum., Saxifraga aizoon, 

 subsp. Laesfaciii Neum ; as to the last plant he looks throughs its history 

 in the literature, its relations to other forms and publishes a hybrid 

 between it and 5. cotyledon, f. abbreviata Norm. Many other supposed 

 hybrids are noted. 



A great part of the paper contains remarks concerning Carex-\orms 

 and -hybrids, more especialiy a series of Carices distigmaticae embracing 

 C. salina and C. maritima; there are detailed descriptions of these 

 species, their forins and their hybrids of which the synonymy is discussed; 

 the result is as follows:

(Irish Naturahst. Vol. XIV. Nov. 1905. p. 229—244.) 



The peninsula of the Mullet extends to about 45 sq. miles, and is 

 of interest as being the head-quarters of Erica mediterranea. There is 

 a small area of cuitivation but the greater part is wild. The coast zone 

 includes salt-marsh, sea cliffs, and a considerable extent of sand dunes. 

 Several small iakes were found to have a varied flora of aquatic and 

 marsh plants. A grassy heath occupies much of the southern part, but 

 at the northern end the dominant plants are Erica cinerea, Calluna, 

 Arctostaphylos Uva-ursi, Empetrum, with Juniperus nana. Peat bogs 

 also occur but excepting Drosera anglica, no plant peculiar to them 

 was noted. The two small Islands of Inishea are occupied chiefly by 

 sand dune and stunted heath. Cakile maritima is a weed in the potato

 Greenland, where no C. maritima occurs! The abstracto r.
