 Fuglo: plateau in the hills, 575 ni. (!); Str.: Stigafjæld 400 ni. (C. J.). 

 Sterile everywhere except on Holgafjæld, the shoots grow in a close 

 G/7/??mm-carpet, only the small leaves reaching above the nioss and 

 spreading themselves on it. On Holgafjæld \ve found both this sterile 

 form in nioss from 335—380 m., and a large robust form (finished 

 flowering August 14"^) wliich grew on a luxuriant rocky ledge manured 

 by birds, at about 475 m., facing south-west.
