Extremely abundant in Southern Norway on sandv ground in eastern 

 subalpine Pineta and on the eastern lower mountains above the tree 

 line. It covers miles of ground between the Swedish frontier, Lake 

 Faemunden and the Glommen valle}-. On the high mountains it is to a 

 large extent replaced by other plants, curiously enough its vertical distribu- 

 tion is quite insufficiently known, hi Eastern Norway it descends to the 

 level of the sea, and in places it is quite common (or mistaken for Cladonia 

 portentosal), e. g. in the coast forests on primitive rocks (poor soil). Much 

 less common in Western Norway, supposed to be lacking or at least very 

 rare at the coast. Not recorded from Moster. 



In Finmark there are only few stations from the coast. Not rare at 

 the inland end of the fjords, and common on the mountains there. On the 

 inland plateau it is common or in places abundant, covering vast areas, if 

 not destroyed by the reindeer. 



Well known and much utilized by the farmers in inland subalpine 

 districts. Norwegian names of wide distribution are: Stortopp (Tolgen), Topp- 

 nwse (Østerdalen), Kvitkrull (Foldalen). Most common of all names are 

 Rein(s)mosc or simply Mose (Moss); to the common farmer it is not 'a moss', 

 but 'the moss'.
