 A, Flower seen from above. The disk (d) curves outwards between the stamens towards

 pollen-sacs from flower from Kongsvold in Norway (about -"/i). Drawn by Eug. Warming. 



he thinks it is probable that self-pollination takes place. 

 Lindman says that the flower agrees with Mtjller's Fig. 87. 

 As Fig. 23, A shows, there is a disk that curves towards the

These two species are treated here jointly for brevity's 

 sake, as they only differ in a few morphological and ana- 

 tomical points. As regards their mutual systematic relation
