THE LAPLAND ALPS. 297 



leaves are brownish, pinnate ; their seg- 

 ments imbricated. Flowers four, five, or 

 mere, at the top of the stem. Calyx like 

 that of Sceptrum Carolinum. Petal with 

 an erect upper lip, which is narrow, com- 

 pressed, and brownish ; the lower lip hori- 

 zontal, three-cleft, saffron-coloured, like 

 all the rest of the flower. Root like 

 skirrets. 



38. Saocifraga with oblong, acute, thick- 

 ish leaves, rough with rigid hairs at the 

 edges. (S. aizoides.) It had not yet flower- 

 ed, but I afterwards found the blossoms, 

 which were yellow, with a large, flat calyx, 

 in five ovate segments. Petals five, small, 

 ovate, yellow besprinkled with orange. 

 Embryo yellow, two-horned. Stigmas or- 

 bicular, flat, whitish. Stamens awlshaped, 

 five of them very short. 



39. Juncoides capitulispsylUi, with loose 

 heads of flowers. [Jttnciis campestris.) 

 Also another with conglomerated heads. 

 (/. campestris /3. FL Lapp. t. 10. f. 2. 

 Certainly a distinct species.)
