form collections. Among the former collections nos. 1—6 come from 
the west coast, nos. 7 and 8 from the south coast of Scania, and nos. 
9—12 from the east coast. 
In Bergen, on the west coast of Norway, only hairy individuals 
are found, which have short and mostly blunt bracts. On the west 
coast of Sweden the proportion between hairy and smooth-scaped in-

dividuals varies, and this is also the case with the shape of the bracts, 
while the length of bracts is rather uniform, being in the large majority 
of cases shorter than the head. At Trelleborg, on the south coast, 
only smooth-scaped individuals have been found, but the length of 
the bracts is still that typical of the west coast Armerias. At the 
next station on the south coast, Loderup, the length of the bracts is 
rather varying; the change in the form of the bracts is also marked, 
these being longer and more pointed in this collection. The changes 
seen in the rest of the coast collections (with the exception of the 
Kalmar collection) run in the same direction, that is, towards longer
