The colour of the lower side is greyish-brown or brownish-black, but 

 it is variable, and may be purely black. Formae founded on the colour 

 of the lower side only indicate the variation of this species. 



var. radicicula Zett. (Herb. Upsal., *f. subtus pallidior, fibrillis in- 

 structa) from Dovre: Vaarstien (Zetterstedt) — cfr. f. hyporhiza Nyl. 



var. siibarctica Nyl. 'Lapp. Orient, p. 123 as distributed in Norrl. et 

 Nyl. Herb. Lieh. Fenn. 256 ab, must be referred to G. arctica, not to 

 G. hyperborca. 



Zetterstedt has collected this variety at Tromso: Floifjellet, and in 

 Alten: Bosekop. 



There are no stations recorded for this species from the west and the 

 south coast, and it has neither been mentioned by Magnusson from the 

 Swedish west coast (Svensk Bot. Tidskr. XIII, 1919, p. 83), nor by Erichsen 

 (Kullen, Verb. d. Nat.-wiss. V^ereins in Hamburg, 1913,3, Folge XXI, p. 58). 



But otherwise this is one of the most frequent and most widely di- 

 stributed species of Gyrophora in our country. It ascends from the level 

 of the sea to very high mountains (2000 m. or more; — to the highest 

 summits?). It is quite as frequent in Finmarken as anywhere else in Norway.
