Alsine verna Bartl. var. hirta (Wormsk.) Lge. — Fl. p. 59. — 

 In the closed flower the reddish anthers were situated in the throat, 

 just above the sligmas. (Trangisvaag, July 27). 



Alchimilla alpina L. — Fl. p. 76. - (Trangisvaag, July). The 

 yellowish-green flowers are about 2V2 mm. in diam. They appear 

 to be somewhat protandrous; at any rate the stigma is still well 

 within the flower at a time when the anthers begin to dehisce. 

 The stamens are ahvays erect and the anthers are remote from 

 the stigma. 



Alchimilla faeroénsis (Lge.) Buser. — Fl. p. 76. — (Trangisvaag, 

 July 16). The flowers are somewhat larger than those o( A. alpina; 

 they measure across as much as 5 mm.; they seemed to be pro- 

 tandrous, and the poUen-grains appeared to be normal. 



Angelica silvestris L. — Fl. p. 79. — (Trangisvaag, Viderejde, 

 Kvalbo). The flowers are white, and have a rather pleasant scent. 

 They are visited by numerous flies {Aricia variahilis. Hilara chorica, 

 Scatophaga litorea, Fiicellia fucorum), and a moth. The flowers 

 appear to be only slightly protandrous or else homogamous. 



Arabis petraea (L.) Lam. — Fl. p. 66. — (Trangisvaag, July 16). 

 Homogamous. Spontaneous self-fertilisation can take place only 

 with difficulty, because the anthers stand below the stigma. Even 

 very early the style was seen to protrude beyond the flower, and 

 the stigma to be thus placed a little above the anthers. The 

 flower was 6 — 8 mm. in diameter. 



Armeria elongata (Hoffm.) Koch. — Fl. p. 50. — (Trangisvaag, 

 July). The flowers are homogamous or slightly protandrous. In 

 the earlier stages of flowering, the stamens are spread out, almost 

 touching the coroUa, and the styles also spread widely, but they 

 alternate with the stamens. The small stigmas occur at the same 

 height as the anthers, but spontaneous self-pollination can at this 

 stage take place only with great difficulty. In older flowers the 

 stamens are twisted, and bend inwards towards the middle of the 

 flower, between the twisted styles; spontaneous self-pollination is 

 then possible. 



Bellis perennis L. — Fl. p. 44. — In dense fog the capitula are 

 closed. 



Brunella vulgaris L. — Fl. p. 47. — (Trangisvaag). The pollen 

 is protected from rain. The anthers containing the white pollen
