 the whole Fjeld, especially by roads and mountain cabins ; it can

 noides, has a very stunted growth at high altitudes. 



STELLARIA NEMOKUM, L. ; Fl. D. tab. 271. In shady places

 Tofte and Dombaas. 



S. CERASTOIDES, L. ; Fl. D. tab. 92. Very common from the 

 uppermost region of Scotch fir to the lasting snow. 



ALSINELLA STRICTA. First appears a little below the limit of 

 Scotch fir, and is afterwards common over the whole Fjeld, in 

 swampy places, up to the perpetual snow.

 with regard to altitude, as the last.
