The alpine Stone Bramble, Riibus saxa- 

 tilts, was extremely plentiful ; and the Cul- 

 tivated Hop (JIumulus Lupiilus), growing 

 wild, afforded me great pleasure, as I con- 

 templated its ingenious manner of curling 

 round the Aspen trees (Populus tremida). 

 Here also [Anemone) Hepatica, and the 

 Cracca with toothed wings (stipulce) and 

 striated flowers, (Vicia sylvatica,) as well 

 as the Orobus vemi/s, once more greeted 

 me. The grass with a dense spike-like pa- 

 nicle, whose stems serve for cleaning the 

 inside of tobacco-pipes, [Agrostis ariindi- 

 nacea,) grows copiously in this part of the 

 country ; and reached higher than my 

 head. The marshes abound with Iris 

 (Pseud-acorus) and with Cyperns (pro- 

 bably Scirpus maritimus). 



The greater part of the road I had tra- 

 velled hitherto from Kimi lay so near the 

 shore, that, even in the woody parts of it, 

 the sea was frequently visible through the 

 forests.
