LULEAN LAPLAND. 257 



white flowers in a roundish spike [Antlieri- 

 cum cahjculatum,Sp. PL Tofieldiapalustris^ 

 Engl. Bot. t. 536"). The leaves are ranged 

 on each other's back (eqiiitant) as in the 

 Marsh Asphodel {Narthecium ossifrogum, 

 t. 5S5). At a small distance in the marshes 

 I found the small flowering rush of 

 Bauhin, Juncoidi affinis of Scheuchzer, 

 (Scheuchzeria palustris). The calyx is of 

 six oblong sharpish leaves, reflexed and 

 permanent. Petals none. Stamens six, 

 capillary, very short, pendulous, with up- 

 right, very long, obtuse, compressed apices 

 (anthers). Embryos (germens) three, often 

 four, rarely live, ovate, compressed. Pistils 

 (styles) none. Stigmas attached to the 

 outer part of the embryos, not elevated. 

 Capsules of two valves, with one seed in 

 each capsule. Leaves concave, sheathing 

 the lower part of the stem. 



In the evening I observed Red Currants 

 (Ribes rubriim), and a kind of panicled 

 grass with blue leaves, (perhaps an Aira^ 

 but it cannot now be determined).
