In 1824 and 1825 Prof. Blytt visited the Dovre, 

 and made many and important additions to the list 

 above referred to, both of mosses and phanerogamous 

 plants. Amongst the latter may be mentioned the 

 Pinguicula villosa (which had hitherto been considered 

 to belong to the flora of Lapland), Air a atropurpurea, 

 Poa laxa and minor, Triticum violaceum, Luzula 

 parviflora (only before noticed by Smith near Grasvig-

 Stellaria alpestris (before only found on the Fille

 noticed in the northern districts), Salix pTiylicifolia 

 majalis, Salix norvegica-pyrenaica (never found be-
