UPLAND. Ö 



goslings, which are all uniformly of the 

 same yellow hue when hatched, whatever 

 colour they may acquire afterwards. 



I left old Upsal on the right, with its 

 three large sepulchral mounds or tumuli. 



The few plants now in flower were Taraxa- 

 cum [Leontodon Taraxacum), whichTourne- 

 fort erroneously combines with Pilosella (Hi- 

 eracium Pilosella), notwithstanding the re- 

 fl€xed leaves of its calyx ; Draba caule nudo 

 (D. verna), which in Smoland is called Rye 

 Flower, because as soon as the husband- 

 man sees it in bloom he is accustomed to 

 sow his Lent corn ; Myosotis scorpioides ; 

 Viola tricolor and odor at a ; Thiamin ar- 

 vense ; Lithospermum arvense ; Ci/peroi- 

 des (probably some species of Carex) ; 

 Juncoides (Juncus campestris) ; Salix 

 (S. caprea ? ) ; Primula veris, as it is 

 called, though neither here nor in other 

 places the first flower of the spring ; Caltlia 

 palustris, known by the name of Swedish 

 Caper, as many people are said to eat it
