l64 EAST BOTH LAND. 



these are ploughed with the plough just 

 described. 



It is a common custom at Kimi to fur- 

 nish out a table with five or six plates, and 

 as many spoons, napkins, &c., though only 

 one or two persons are expected to dinner. 

 There is at the post-house a free table (or 

 ordinary). 



In the land belonging to the clergyman 

 of Kimi, I found the [Ly thrum) Salicaria 

 with a very unusual aspect, having alter- 

 nate leaves, and a solitary flower in the 

 bosom of each. (The original specimens in 

 the Linnaean herbarium have two or more 

 flowers to the upper leaves.) 



My intention was to have extended my 

 journey into the province of East Bothnia; 

 but on applying at the post-house, I could 

 neither procure a horse, nor any thing to 

 eat, for the inhabitants either could not, or 

 would not, understand me. I therefore 

 took leave of them the same day I arrived, 

 and turned my steps backward.
