ALPINE FLORA AND FERNS OF NORWAY. 329 
Splachnum angustatum, Mnium turgidum, Meesia 
demissa, &c., and several others too numerous to 
mention. 
‘Around Drivstuen, especially on the Fjeld slopes on 
the east side, the vegetation is very luxuriant. Most 
of the subalpine plants may be found here in abund- 
ance—Ranunculus platanifolius, Thalictrum simplex, 
Viola mirabilis, Epilobium origanifolium, Saxifraga 
cotyledon (more common between Drivstuen and 
Rise), Erigeron acer 8, Gnaphalium sylvaticum B, 
Sonchus alpinus, and many interesting forms of Hiera- 
cium cymosum, murorum, boreale, awrantiacum, and 
prenanthoides,-and forms of H. wmbellatum, Apargia 
Taraxaci, Polemonium cxerulewm, Myosotis sylvatica 
and deflexa, Satyrium nigrum, Convallaria verticillata, 
Calamagrostis Halleriana, Equisetum hyemale, &c. 
By clambering higher up on the same side, above the 
birch-limit, the same rich alpine vegetation is met with 
as occurs at Kongsvold. The same cryptogam)us plants 
are found here, and in addition, Lecidia decipiens, high 
above the birch-limit, and Parmelia oreina on the 
rocky slopes and stones near Drivstuen. On the other 
side of the river, opposite to Drivstuen, the vegetation 
in the lower parts of the Fjeld is less luxuriant and 
varying. It is almost neck-breaking work to clamber 
up to the summit of the Fjeld, and will scarcely repay 
one for the trouble, unless to find the Dzapensza in
