found up to the continual snow. It has a very decided tendency 
to vary. A variety with a long stalk and delicate leaves,

loose gravel near Blaahoé and other places. ‘The little stunted 
form which has been named S. greenlandica is common on dry 
places at high altitudes. 
S. cernva, L.; Fl. D. tab. 22 and 399.—From the limit of fir
