390 Norway mid the Norwegians 



divided leaves are narrow, of even breadth, and slightly 

 pointed ; they are hairy, especially underneath, and 

 green on both sides. The lower leaves are stalked, the 

 upper ones embrace the stem. The flower-heads are 

 very large, and few in number, there being seldom more 

 than six on one plant. They are drooping, and grow 

 singly on woolly stems which spring from the axils of 

 the upper leaves, and are 1 to 4 inches long. The in- 

 volucre is hemispherical ; its scales are oval or oblong, 

 green at the back, hairy, especially at the base, and have 

 a broad dark-brown border. The receptacle is smooth. 

 The corolla is yellow and hairy ; the root thick and 

 strong. It flowers in August and September. 



9. Phaca frigida, a mountain plant, belonging to the 

 Leguminosse or Pea and Bean Tribe. The smooth stem is 

 upright, from 6 to 1 2 inches high, the lower part pro- 

 vided with egg-shaped broad scales. The leaves grow 

 in pairs of 4 to 5, with large egg-shaped stipules, and 

 oblong blunt leaflets, which are rather hairy, and of a 

 bluish green underneath. The stalk on which the 

 numerous flowers grow is about the length of the leaf- 

 stalk. The yellow drooping flowers grow on much 

 shorter dark-haired stalks. The standard (upper petal) 

 is a little longer than the keels (lower petals) and 

 wings (side petals). The drooping pod is covered with 

 dark hairs; it is oblong and narrower at each end. 

 It flowers in July. 



10. Papaver nudicaule. All the leaves are collected 

 together at the root, are covered with stiff hairs, are 

 stalked, and are unevenly divided into egg-shaped divi- 

 sions which point forward. There are one or more 

 upright stems, which are covered with stiff hairs, are
