CHAPTER VII. 
BOTANICAL RAMBLES ON THE DOVRE FJELD.* 
By the permission of the late Professor Blytt, whom 
I saw a few weeks previous to his death, I am enabled 
to lay before my readers a detailed list of the Flora of 
the Dovre Fjeld. 
The Alpime plants of the north seem to have con- 
centrated themselves in parts of this mountain range, 
as will be more expressly alluded to in a few tours 
which I have appended for the benefit of the collector. 
A short list of the Ferns of Norway will also be found 
in their proper place, many of which are very rare, and 
some quite unknown in our country. 
Those stations where good quarters are to be had 
are printed in italics. 
The plates referred to will be found in the ‘ Flora 
Danica.’

about Tofte, by Bergsgaard, Rustgaard, Lie, Drivstuen, in Driv- 
dalen ; rarely found above the birch-limit. 
“« Drivdalen,” remarks Professor Blytt, late Professor of Botany 
at the Christiania University, ‘‘is one of the richest localities on

appeared in the pages of the ‘ Field’ newspaper.
