LULEAN LAPLAND. 



Near Storbacken, at the confluence of 

 the great and small rivers of Lulea, is the 

 boundary mark between Lapmark and 

 Westbothnia. 



As soon as I entered Lapmark, the hill 

 which forms a promontory betwixt the two 

 rivers afforded me the following plants. 



The Sorrel lately mentioned (Kum^x 

 digynus) was here in blossom. The calyx 

 is of two leaves ; the petals two, perfectly 

 like the calyx. Stamens six. Pistils two, 

 in the same flov/er with the stamens, re- 

 flexed. Fruit compressed, with two, not 

 three, angles. Some of its flowers were in- 

 fected with smut, as in barley. 



The Small Liquorice [Astragalus al- 

 pinas, see p. 159). Some plants had 

 white flowers, tipped with a blueish hue ; 

 the others bore entirely purple blossoms. 



On the hill named Wollerim I met with 

 a very rare little species of Asphodel, with
