Mr. Dahlstedt remarks: »The characters given above are on ly re- 

 lative, and they are such as might possibly be induced by the place 

 of growth, but that is not the case. I have had specimens raised 

 from fruits from Sydero under cultivation through several genera- 

 tions, and they keep themselves distinct from cultivated specimens 

 of the main form (from Sverige, Jemtland)«.

Syd.: Tværaa and rock-ledges at Kvanhauge (J. Hartz & C. H. Osten- 

 feld, 1897); Str.: Havnedal near Thorshavn (C.H.Ostenfeld, 1903). Col- 

 lected in the F"ær6es as early as 1821 (by Trevelyan'?), as there are 

 specimens in the Riksmuseum of Stockholm, labelled: »Færoe, 1821, about 

 2000 feet above the Sea.« [Also coUccted on St. Kilda, Outer Hebrides by 

 O. Paulsen, 1905]. 



»This variety differs only from the foregoing form by the cha- 

 racters given in the diagnosis, but as it seems that both characters 

 always are combined, it is probable, that they are persistent. — 

 The variety in question is of special interest, as it in many re- 

 spects reminds us of the nearly related species T. naevosum Dahlst.«
