 Hsc est planta , quam Linnaeus adhuc juvenis reperit copio- 

 sam in alpibus Lapponicis, et clare descripsit sub nomine 

 vernaculo Jerja in Lachesi Lapponica l. c, quae fuit pri- 

 mum ejus opus. Qus ibi dicuntur de forma foliorum 

 rem extra ornnem dubitationis aleam ponunt : " Lea- 

 „ ves, ita habet.versio Anglica Lach. tom. a p. 78., 

 „ half clasping the stem .... one half of each leaf con- 

 5, sisting of the terminal lobe , making exactly an acu- 

 „ te triangle , toothed at the edges , from that part 

 „ downwards the leaf contracts , but not to the main 

 „ rib, and then again expands into two narrow appen- 

 „ dages , as it were ; equal in bredth , but unequal in 

 „ length , which are crenate at their edges. From then- 

 „ ce begins the stalk of the leaf, wbich is winged 

 „ and toothed , and half embraces the stern. " Insu-
