292 SPORT IN NORWAY. 



both in size, and in being more or less branched Near Tofte it 

 is usually one-flowered, and of diminutive growth, but more vigo- 

 rous near Jerkin and Kongsvold, often many-flowered, and with 

 larger and more downy flower-heads. 



E. ELONGATUS. Common in birch copses over the whole Fjeld. 

 Flowers, 7 to 8, red or white. 



E. UXIFLORTTS, L. ; Fl. D. tab. 1,397. Common at high alti- 

 tudes on the Fjeld, e.g., Harbakken, Fogstuen, Kongsvold, Jerkin. 

 It extends above the birch-limit nearly up to the lasting snow, 

 and is never found in the neighbourhood of or below the limit of 

 fir. Florets, red or white. 



SOLIDAGO VIRGAUREA, L.; Fl. D. tab. 663. Common up to 

 and over the birch-limit. A variety, ft lapponica, is also common 

 at the same altitude. 



AXTEXNARIA DioiCA ; Fl. D. tab. 1,228. Common over the 

 whole Fjeld ; extends above the birch-limit. Grows in dry, rocky 

 places. 



A. ALPIXA (Gaertner). Bears a great similarity to the last. 

 First appears at about 100 to 200 feet below the fir-limit by the 

 roadside between Dombaas and Fogstuen, after which it is 

 plentiful over the whole Fjeld. Found up to the edge of perma- 

 nent snow. 



GNAPHALIUM SYLVATICUM, L. ; FL D. tab. 1,229. In Drivdal 

 below Drivstuen. A variety, G. rectum (?), is common over the 

 whole Fjeld, and mounts above the birch-limit to that of the 

 larger willows. 



G. NORVEGICUM (Chr. Giinther) ; FL D. tab. 254. Common 

 over the whole Fjeld ; extends up to and above the limit of the 

 larger willow. From experiments made in the Botanical Gardens 

 at Christiania, Mr. Moe pronounces it to be a distinct species 

 from the last. It has a denser spike and broader leaves. 



OMALOTHECA SUPINA (Cassini). Common in birch copses over 

 the whole Fjeld ; mounts up to the limit of the larger willows. 

 Found in Opdal as low down as the limit of corn. 



At the village of Opdal the road through Sundalen branches 

 off to the north-west. At a short distance south of this, at the 

 station Aune or Ovne, excellent accommodation may be had, and 

 good opportunities for trout-fishing and shooting. 



PTARMICA VULGARIS (De Candolle). Very rare on Dovre ; 

 only noticed at one place about 4 miles north of Drivstmn.
