408 ICE-BOUND ON KOLGUEV 



Gnaphalium supinum L. Dwarf Cudweed. 

 Almost everywhere. 



Antennaria alpina R. Br. Alpine Cat's-ear. 

 Fairly common on all the high peat-ground. 



A. carpathica R. Br. 



This plant is exceedingly local in Kolguev. I found it nowhere but 

 on Mounts Sieycherhur and Sowandeyi. The genus has been separated 

 from Gnaphalium as dioecious ; the flowers of some individuals are 

 composed of filiform fertile florets without any tubular males, in other 

 individuals of only tubular male florets. It might easily be overlooked, 

 as its white cottony-looking head has a general resemblance to the 

 pappus of Erigeron. 



Matricaria inodora L. 



This was not a common plant on Kolguev. The first specimen we 

 saw was growing in the turf on the roof of Uano's hut at Scharok, and 

 I later on found a few plants on the east coast. 



Pyrethrum bipinnatum Willd. 

 This was immensely abundant on all the dry sandy ground. 



Artemisia Tilesii Ledeb. 



We found this in bud by the Pesanka, July 4, but it was not in 

 flower till a fortnight later. It was fairly common on the hummocky 

 peat. 



Achillea millefolium L. Yarrow. 



This tiny yarrow — 2-4 inches — was very local. I found it only on 

 the side of some inlets by the sea on the eastern side. The plant 

 differs from the yarrow of our hayfields by being dwarfed and covered 

 with down.
