NORWEGIAN LAPLAND. 325 



of my journey, I had for some time ex- 

 perienced a long-continued spring (whose 

 steps I pursued as I ascended the Lapland 

 hills); then unremitting winter and eternal 

 snow surrounded me ; summer at length 

 was truly welcome. Oh how most lovely 

 of all is summer ! 



Here grow, for the most part, the com- 

 mon plants of Upland, besides which I 

 noticed Aconitum li/coctonum, and the little 

 Mountain Catchfly with a white upright 

 flower (Silene riipestris^); as also Coronopits 

 maritimus punctatus [Plaiitago maritima 

 /3, Fl. Sicec, 46), Mesomora (Cornus sue^ 

 cica), and the Cloudberry [Rubus Cha- 

 mcpmorus). 



By this time I was heartily tired, and 

 found the refreshment of some cow's milk, 

 and meat, with a chair to sit upon, very 

 acceptable. I could not but wonder to see 

 my two Laplanders, who had accompanied 

 me during the whole of this day^s tedious 



* This appears by the Flora Suecica to be likewise 

 a native of Upland.
