76. Spergula arvensis L. 



Found here and there in enclosed fields near houses, especially in 

 newly cultivated land; it seems most frequent on Sydero and rarer on 

 Nordrecier.

77. Stellaria media (L.) Cyril. 



Common in enclosed lields, in manured soil, e. g. on cliffs inhabited 

 by sea-foNvl. 



On sandy sea-shore near Midvaag on Vaago we met with a curious 

 compact form (f. umbellata n. f.) The inflorescence resembles a glomerule, 

 the upper internodes being short and the upper leaves developed into bracts. 

 FI. June — Jul}^ Fr. July — September. 



78. S. uliginosa Murr. 



Common in and by small streams, most frequent amongst mosses;
