Geranium silvaticum L. — Fl. p. 68. — (Tiangisvaag, July). Pro- 

 liuidious. In its lirst stage the flower is about 20 — 22 mm. in dia- 

 meler, the petals stand erectly, and the styles are not expanded; 

 later on the diameter increases to about 24 mm., and the styles elongate, 

 but do not yet spread, and the anthers are turned outwards. The 

 antisepalous stamens are the first to ripen. Some of the antipeta- 

 lous stamens are sterile. 



Habenaria viridis (L.) R. Br. — Fl. p. 93. — (Trangisvaag, July). 

 The symmelry of the tlowers is oblique. They are brownish-green. 



Haloscias scoticum (L.) Fr. — Fl. p. 80. — (Trangisvaag, July). 

 In many umbels the innermost flowers are staminate, the outer 

 hermaphrodite. The anthers of the staminate flowers extend almost 

 beyond the hermaphrodite flowers and may shed pollen upon them 

 (geitonogamy); the staminate tlowers shed their pollen at a time when 

 the stigmas of the hermaphrodite tlowers are ripe. The petals are 

 partly pale-red, partly white; the anthers are dark-purple in colour. 

 Flowers distinctly protandrous. Many flies (Aricia variabilis) visit 

 the flowers and suck honey from thcni, as was the case in Angelica. 



Honckenya peploides (L.) Ehrh. — Fl. p. 61. — (Trangisvaag, 

 Hqjvig, July). Diæcious. The staminate tlowers are 8—13 mm. in 

 diameter, and have small, yellow nectaries, rich in honey; the 

 petals equal, or somewhat excel, the sepals in size. At first the 

 antisepalous stamens are erect, then they bend backwards; then 

 the antipetalous stamens follow them. The pistillate flowers are 

 green; their petals are much smaller than the sepals. The dia- 

 meter is only 4—6 mm. Fruit is set abundantly, even by quite 

 small and entirely green pistillate flowers. Pollination by insects 

 must inevitably take place, although none were observed. 



Hypericum pulchrum L. — Fl. p. 68. (Trangisvaag, July). The 

 younger flowers are 15 — 16 mm. in diameter, the older 20 mm. 

 Homogamous. The styles spread widely among the orange-coloured 

 or reddish-yellow an Hiers. Spontaneous self pollination is impro- 

 bable. Honey is absent. 



Juncus lampocarpus Ehrh. — F\. p. 91. — (Trangisvaag, July). 

 Even in rainy weather the perianth-leaves project like a star. The 

 flowers are protogynous. The styles are twisted and longer than 

 the stamens.
