undulating lateral walls, those of the lower surface are still 

 more thinwalled, their lateral walls more highly undulating 

 and, as in the epidermis of the upper surface, furnished with 

 flange-like thickenings, which I found to be particularly well- 

 developed in the bracts of the flowers, and, on the whole, 

 in the upper leaves on the axis. Stomata occur only on the 

 lower surface; the guard-cells are on a level with the other 

 cells of the epidermis; they are surrounded by 3 — 6 cells. 

 Chlorophyll is abundantly present in the whole of the meso- 

 phyll and is also found in the epidermis of the lower surface. 

 On the lower surface there are glandular hairs of the usual 

 kind, and with the typical distribution; and besides there 

 are non-glandular hairs both on the upper and the lower 

 surface (Fig. 29, D and E); they are multicellular and thick- 

 walled, often however with one or two cells unthickened and 

 therefore collapsed.

A sympodial hemicryptophyte of rosette- or semi- 

 rosette type, with vertical or obliquely-ascending mesocorme, 

 which dies away behind, and from which adventitious roots, 

 1 — 2 mm thick, are abundantly developed. 



2-year-old specimens, from Aursundsöen, showed that 

 the plant in its first year forms a few-leaved rosette; the 

 winter-bud is protected by scale-leaves, and the following 

 year the growth is continued by the formation of a more
