COMPOSITE. 



TTJSSILAGO FARFARA, L. ; Fl. D. tab. 595. In places over the 

 whole Fjeld ; it extends beyond the birch-limit to that of the 

 larger willow tribe near Fogsaaen. 



NARDOSMA FRIGIDA, Fl. D. tab. 61. In places over the whole 

 Fjeld ; not unfrequent by Kongsvold and the neighbouring 

 heights up to the permanent snow. 



ERIGERON ACRIS, L. In places near Tofte, Jerkin, Kongsvold, 

 and in Drivdal. A variety, ft glabratum, remarkable for its 

 larger growth, smooth stalks and leaves, and for its darker and 

 somewhat larger flowers, is found at a rather higher altitude. 

 Plentiful near Fogsaaen, above Fogstuen, Kongsvold, and in 

 places in Drivdal, where it attains a growth of 2 feet in shady 

 places. " This variety," remarks Professor Blytt, " is so striking, 

 that one might almost be tempted to look on it as a separate 

 species, but that forms of it bearing evident signs of transition to 

 E. acre are found, e. g., E. Droebachense, Fl. D. tab. 874." 



E. ALPINUS, L. ; Fl. D. tab. 292. Common over the whole 

 Fjeld, from the hills near Tofte to Drivdal, where it descends, 

 perhaps, 200 to 300 feet into the region of fir. It varies greatly
