The leaves of the calyx in the male flowers are ob- 

 tufe j in iht female acuminated and reflex'd, and 

 wav'd on the margins. 



The Laplanders boil a large quantity of the leaves 

 in water, and mix the juice, when cold, in the 

 milk of their rein-deers, which they efteem an 

 agreeable and wholefome food, and which will 

 keep in a cool place for a long while. 



The leaves are an agreeable acid, and are reckoned 

 a good antifcorbutic.
