32 Mr. C. C. Babington's List of Plants gathered 



places. In the Governor's garden there were also some very fine 

 radishes. I saw no other culinary plants except mustard and 

 cress, unless archangel may be so considered. The cultivation 

 of flowers does not seem to be attempted in the open ground, 

 but a very few are preserved in pots in some of the Danish 

 houses. In one house I noticed a carnation, a scarlet Chinese 

 rose, mignionette, and a small fuchsia ; all of them showing con- 

 spicuously that they were with difficulty preserved alive. 



Hooker in his ( Tour/ and also in t Mackenzie's Travels in Ice- 

 land/ gave as complete a list of Icelandic plants as he was able 

 to prepare, and in the recent French work upon Iceland by M. 

 Gaimard will be found a similar list of species compiled by M. 

 Vahl. In the following list of the plants collected by me, the 

 names of those few species are printed in italics which are not 

 included in M. VahFs list. I have also added the localities of a 

 few of the more interesting plants. I am deeply indebted to 

 Dr. Boott for examining and naming my specimens of Carex, 

 with which difficult genus he is known to be peculiarly well 

 acquainted, and his long-promised Monograph upon which is 

 anxiously expected.
