'time can retain the pollen, or soon become able to do so. Then 

 the antipetalous stamens perform similar movements, and their 

 anthers open before those of the anlisepalous stamens have been 

 emptied of their pollen. 



Cipsium palustpe (L.) Scop. — Fl. p. 44. — (Frodebo on Sydero, 

 .luly). Protandry, as is usual in the Compositæ. 



Cochleapia officinaiis L. — Fl.p. 67. — (Trangisvaag, July; Ler- 

 vik, Aug.). The diameter of the flower is at first only about 5 mm., 

 and the petals are erect; the anthers are open, and by the curving 

 of their fdaments are placed above the stigma, which appears to 

 be ripe. Afterwards the stamens spread out and the anthers are 

 thus removed from the stigma. The diameter of the flower is then 

 as much as 10 mm. Spontaneous self-pollination, by direct contact 

 of the anthers and stigma, has not been observed to occur. All 

 the flowers set fruit, and many germinating piants may be found. 



Empetrum nigrum L. — Fl. p. 68. — Ripe fruit in August, at 

 Kvannesund. 



Epilobium lactiflopum Hausskn. — Fl. p. 69. - (Trangisvaag). 

 The snow-white flowers have erectly-spreading petals; they are 

 homogamous. The anthers of the longer stamens are pressed close 

 to the stigma, to which they transfer pollen and into which pollen- 

 tubes (?) are put from them. The anthers of the shorter stamens are 

 situated below the stigma. The flowers set ripe fruit. 



Epilobium montanum L. — Fl. p. 70. — (Trangisvaag, July). Ho- 

 mogamy or slight protogyny. Spontaneous self-pollination takes 

 place by the anthers of the longer stamens touching the stigmas. 

 The anthers of the shorler antipetalous stamens stand at the level 

 of the stigma or slightly below it, and they also can shed pollen 

 upon it. Much pollen may be found upon the stigma, especially 

 its underside, and the anthers may adhere to it. Large, red winter- 

 buds are developed as early as August Ist. 



Epilobium palustpe L. — Fl. p. 70. — (Trangisvaag, July; Lervik, 

 Aug.). Homogamy and spontaneous seif pollination. The white 

 anthers adhere to the white stigma. 



Erica cinepea L. — Fl. p. 46. — (Trangisvaag, July; Thorshavn, 

 Aug.). The flower is deeper red in colour than that of Calluna 

 and Erica Tetralix. The pores of the anthers are formed even in 

 the bud, and just before the anlhers dehisce the pollen already
