2. The Mountains of Norway. 



The phanerogamic flora of the Dovre Mts., so rich in interesting 

 species, contains but little that is not found elsewhere in Scandinavia 

 either in the Arctic z^ne or in the less elevated mountains in other 

 parts of I^orway and Sweden. We will only mention here Artemisia 

 norvegica, and, including in this zone some mountains of central 

 Norway, Campamda harhata and Saxifraga hieraciifolia. As the 

 Supplement does not contain any species characteristic of the Dovre, 

 and our object here is not to describe the flora of the Norwegian 

 mountains, we may pass over in silence the species which they 

 possess in common with other zones of Scandinavia. 



3 . Western Norway . 



The western side of Norway, as is well known, rejoices in a climate 

 much more humid and mild than the other parts of Scandinavia in 

 the same latitudes, and it is to these pecaliarly favourable climatic 

 conditions that we must chiefly attribute the fact, not only that many 

 species extend there much further northward than in the interior or 

 more eastern parts of the peninsulaf , but also that various species find 

 there their northern or eastern limit, not being found in the rest of 

 Scandinavia, but belonging to the more southern or south-western 

 countries of Europe. As examples, there are figured in the Supple- 

 ment the following species, which occur in one or more stations in 

 Western Norway, but have not been found in any other part of Scan- 

 dinavia. With the exception of three species (marked *') which have 

 been quite recently described, and the distribution of which is not yet 

 well known, all belong to the south-west of Europe, England, France, 

 or Spain. 



Asplenium marinum. * Hieracium filiforrae. 



Sclerochloa procumbens. * H. pulchellum. 



* Carex brevirostris. Meum athamanticum. 



C. punctata. Conopodium denudatum. 



Besides these the west coast of Norway has a number of charac- 



f According to Schiibeler, Die Pflanzenwiit Norwegem, the beech on the west 

 coast of Norway grows wild up to 60' 37'' N. Lat., and cultivated bears ripe 

 fruit at 63° 26'. Tilia parvifoHa, as wild, and cultivated, attains respeetively the 

 latitudes 62° 9' and 66° 6'. The holly reaches 63° 7', and the walnut yields ripe 

 fruit as far north as 63° 6'.
