Lindman speaks of self-poUinalion as rather uncertain, be- 

 cause the stigma is so far removed from the anthers; but in 



the Greenland specimens it is 

 closer to them than in the spe- 

 cimens from temperate Europe; 

 in Danish specimens the style 

 grows to a length of from 7 to 

 8 mm., and may project from 

 15 to 3 mm. beyond the anthers 

 (Fig. 37). In Finmark I found 

 the length of the style to be 

 from 5*0 to 6 mm., and it pro- 

 jected only from 0"5 to 1 mm. 

 beyond the anthers (Fig. 36^). 

 The fruit varies as regards 

 its form as shewn in Fig. 36 

 G-K. 



The var. microcarpum with 

 downy pedicels has not yet been 

 found in Greenland, but the spe- 

 cimens which occur there may 

 have as small leaves as microcarpum. In Bosekop (Finmark) 

 the two forms were found growing together. The flowers of 

 the one plant are not quite twice as large as those of the other.
