THE FLOWERS OF KOLGUEV 415 



CYPERACE.E 

 Carex rigida Good. 

 C. stricta Good. 



Eriophorum vaginatum L. 



Generally distributed ; making sheets of white in the damp places. 

 I picked the first bit fully out on July 24. 



GRAMINEyE 

 Alopecurus alpinus Sm. Alpine Foxtail. 



Aira flexuosa L. 



This grass was exceedingly late in coming into flower. ' Flowering 

 heads only now developing' is my remark on this species on July 27. 

 It is this grass which is used by the Samoyeds under the name of 

 Stielka as a padding for their skin boots against the cold.

Lycopodium Selago L. Fir Club-moss. 



This club-moss was exceedingly local. I found it only on the sides 

 of two gullies near the Pesanka about four miles from the sea.
