128. R. glacialis L. 



Not rare in the loose gravel on the highest hills from about 500 m. 

 upwards onVaago, Str. and Ost. In the Nordreoer only found on 

 Kai s 6 at Blankeskaalefjæld 6—800 m. (Lomholt, !) and does not occur 

 on San do and Syd. 



Fl. May— June. Fr. August. 



129. R. repens L. 



Common in enclosed fields, occurring especially in considerable 

 quantities in piaces where corn or potatoes have been grown the j'^ear 

 before. It is very seldom met witli far from houses, but Rostrup men- 

 tions Tjornevigkamp on Str. and the top of Nol s 6. 

 Fl. June— July. 



130. Thalictrum apinum L. 



Common outside enclosed fields on the hill-sides extending from 

 the shore-line far up the hills. 



Fl. June— July. Fr. August. 



Landt records Ficnria raniinculoides from Kirkebo, but probablj' he mistook 

 for it the leaves of young specimens of Caltha. 



Order XXXVI. ROSACEAE. 



Alchimilla. In order to find out which species of this genus, 

 especially of the group viilgaris, occur on the Færoes, we made con- 

 siderable collections which we submitted to the well-known authority 

 on Alchimilla Dr. Buser, Geneva, for his opinion. He very kindly 

 determined them for us and came to the following conclusion. 



131. A. alpina L. 



Common on all the istands, mostly on rock-ledges and in crevices on 

 fairly dry ground, and on hill-plateaux; it extends right down to the sea, 

 but occurs most frequently in the higher regions. 



In gravelly streams near Orerenge on Str. and in a deep cleft of 

 rock at Kvanhaugen on Syd. we found a f. tnincala Buser, the small 

 leaves of which had blunted tips. 



132. A. faeroénsis (Lge.) Buser, Ber. d. schweiz. botan. Gesellsch. 



1894 and Bull. de THerb. Boissier, II, 1894 p. 39; A fissa, v. faeroénsis 



Lange, Nomenclator Floræ Danicæ, 1897; Al. fissa Rostr. p. 30. 



Common in the same localities as the preceding, both far up the 

 hills and in low-lying regions. On exposed spots it becomes small and 

 stunted and then appears as f. pumila (Simmons: Några bidrag til Fær- 

 oernes flora 1; Botan. Notiser 1896 p. 70; see also Simmons, Om 

 Alchemilla faeroénsis (Lge) Buser, och dess artsratt, Botan. Notiser 1898 

 p. 68); f. vegeta Buser with leaves less hairy, nearly glabrous beneath is 

 a contrast to it (cfr. Simmons 1896, 1. c. p. 70); it occurs in very shady 

 piaces in clefts of rocks.
