I92I.N0. 7- LAPPOXIAX LICHEN NAMES. 24I 



tica as oaivvc-jœgcl, he maintained that these Hchens in full-grown state 

 developed into oaivvc-jccgcl. This conception is widely distributed. Ovig- 

 STAD identified oaivvc-jœgcl with 'Cladotiia raiigifcriiia Hoffm.', probably 

 sensu latiore, inclusive of C. silvatica and C. a/prsfris. 



8. Raiics-/œgr/ [grey lichen], by N. P. T. applied to Cladoiiia raugi- 

 fcrina, bv Sold, to C. raugifcrina and C. silvatica. Ovigstad (No. 177) 

 identifies raitcs-Jœgc/ with C/adofiia pyxidata. By J. M. S. used as a syno- 

 nym to rafics-s/i/arvz'c, vide infra under sinarvvc. 



9. Saiiiiiial-jivgcl [moss-lichen]: Nephroma arcticiiin (J. M.S.I. This 

 name is quite characteristic, for this lichen often grows intimately associated 

 with mosses (Lapp.: sainiiia/: house-moss). 



10. Sarva-jœgcl [elk-lichen]. Many informants used this name on 

 Cetraria nivalis, one informant (N. P. T.) on C. Iiiascens, cfr. Qvigstad (No. 

 177) who identified sarva-jergcl with C. islandica. Two resident Laplanders 

 {]. L. G. and A. J.) called Xephronia arctiaun: sarva-jergel, one of them (A.J.I 

 and a third resident Laplander (K. K.) also Stereocaiiloii. It 'seems to me 

 that the identification oi' sari'a-/(rgel with Xephroiiia and Stercocauloii is dubious. 



11. Sniarvve-jergel [crisp lichen] or usually only smarvve or in dialec- 

 tical by-forms as siuiirvvc, sniarbiue or siuariiime are common and general 

 names on Stereocaulon. Qvigstad's identification of smarvve-j. with Lcca- 

 jwra (Ochrolechia) tartarca is hardl}' correct, the same is the case when 

 one of m}' informants (K. K.I identified smarvve with Cetraria nivalis. Two 

 of my most competent informants (J. M. S. and A. L. S.| distinguished be- 

 tween smarvve and raues-smarvve [grey sm:ir\\e\. They designated C/ar/o/z/V? 

 raugifcrina and C. silvatica as smarvve and Stereocaulon as rancs-sinarvve. 



Of the cited dialect forms smarvve was recorded in Kautokeino as well 

 as in Karasjok and Polmak. Smarvve was mentioned by one informant in 

 Kautokeino (N. P. T.I in addition to smarvve, smarbme in Karasjok (P. J.M.I 

 and smanmne in Karasjok (M. E.) and Porsanger (A. K.S.I. 



12. Toppa-jœgel [top-lichen] used by one informant (J. M.S.) as syno- 

 nym to oaivve-jcegel = Cladonia alpestris. 



13. Ullo-jœgel [wool-lichen]. One informant fj. M. S.) designated slender 

 tubulous lichens, most probabl}- slender forms of Cladonia gracilis and the 

 like, as itllo-jcegcl. 



In 'Lappiske plantenavne' (Lapponian Plant Names) Qvigstad also cites 

 the following yVrg^Z-names : 



No. 137: Guovddo-jœgel [middle lichen), and No. 177: Sœidne-jœgel 

 [wall-lichen] = Xanfhoria parietina. 



I have never noted these names. 



Mr. Qvigstad has also been kind enough to give me two other Lap- 

 ponian lichen names, received from Seida in Tana, which 1 ha\'e never 

 noticed myself: 



Bœllje-jœgel [ear-lichen], and Hœrgge-jœgel [male reindeer lichen], but 

 he has not had the occasion to identify them.
