i6o Mgui 1749; 



This evening we arrived at horHUi 

 v.rhere we lodged with the Jefults. 



Auguji xhQ 13th. In the morning we 

 continued our journey through the woods 

 to the high mountains, in order to fee 

 what fcarce plants and curiofities we could 

 get there. The ground was flat at iiril:, 

 and covered with a thick wood all round, 

 except in marfhy places. Near half the 

 plants, which are to be met with here, 

 grow in the woods and morafles of Sweden. 



We faw wild Cherry-trees here, of two 

 kinds, which are probably mere varieties^ 

 though they differ in feveral refpeds. Both 

 are pretty common mCanada, and both have 

 red berries. One kind, which is called 

 Cenjier by the French, taftes like our Al^ 

 fine cherries, and their acid contrads the 

 mouth, and cheeks. The berries of the 

 other fbrt have an agreeable fournefs, and 

 a pleafant tafte *. 



The three-leaved Hellebore -f- grows in 

 great plenty in the woods, and in many 

 places it covers the ground by itfelf. How- 

 ever, it commonly choofes moffy places^ 



that 



* The kind called Cenjur by the French, I defcribed 

 thus in my journal : Cera/us foliis o'uatii/erratisy ferraturit 

 'frofundit fere fuhulat'ts, fru5iu racemo/o. The other thus-. 

 Cera/us foliis lanceolatis, crenato-ferratii, nciitis^ fiu^uferg 

 felitcvio. 



f Helleborus trifolius.
