drier and sandy material farther inland. Of shruljs and trees the following were to be 

 found:') 



Salix Diminalis ixir. (imelini f. iii/escens, Salix ciiierea X S. vinunali.'^ uar. Gmelini. 

 Salix tiiandra. Salix daphnoides, Corniis alba. Primus Padus, Populus laurifoUa. Belida 

 verrucosa. Rosa cinnamomca, Rosa acicularis, and yhjrkaiia damirica (amoni^ pebidcs 

 on sandv rivpr-l)aiiUs).

In thickets a ground flora was to be found chiefly consisting of the following 

 species: 



Vicia sepiiim, Primula palens, Pohjgonatum officinale, Cacalia hastala. Hamulus 

 Lupulus, lAimium album, Galium boreale. Veronica pseudolongif'olia nan. spec, Galium 

 Molugo, Polentilla lernala, Chelidonium majus var. grandi floras, Valciiana officinalis. 

 Lysimachia vulgaris and Care.v Arnelli. 



The islets, of course, mostly consisted of natural meadows, densely clothed with a 

 luxuriant growth of various species of grass, of which, however, only comparatively few- 

 were flowering at that time. Among the plants characterizing the meadows was, above all, 

 predominant the pretty, white, large-flowered Anemone silvesliis. occurring here in 

 abundance, and, moreover the following appeared: 



Glecoma hederacea, Taraxacum officinale. Taraxcuiim Piinlzii Dahlst. nov. spec, 

 Taraxacum laevigalum, Polentilla ternata. Polentilla anserina, Rume.v Acetosa, Rumex 



In this etiiimeratioii as well as usually also in the fullowiuK ones, I have aivcu the i)laiits in sne- 

 eessiou, as put dawn in my iliarios. This Kives, at least to some degree, an idea of the domi- 

 nance of the various species. In order to illustrate the composition of the vegetation I generally give, 

 as far as possible, complete lists of plants for each locality, and accordingly not only of the most cha- 

 racteristic ones. I do not consider the said method to be superfluous in this connection involving 

 tracts of land which in point of botany are so unknown as in the present ease.
