Till. p. 654. 
In table-land, rather rare, high up on the mountains and most 
often on the shady side, not observed below 300 m. above the level 
of the sea. In bloom from the 28 of June— 24% of July, in fruit 
from the 13" of July.

All specimens have entire leaves, as a rule closely convoluted; 
in favorable localities the young leaves are plane and obtain a length 
af about 10 mm. and a breadth of until 4 mm. In unfavourable 
(dry) localities all leaves are involuted and obtain only a length of 
5—6 mm. and a breadth of 2 mm. The species does not flower 
every year and not until the tufts have reached a diameter of more 
than 5ctm. The flowers are rather small (15—20 mm. in diameter) 
and shortstalked (the stalks 2—3, rarely 4 ctm.). The dust well 
developped. Sets, though rarely, well-developped fruit; old fruit- 
stalks from a previous year are common. The tufts are very low, 
1 —2 ctm. thick, having rarely a diameter of 20 ctm.; older speci- 
mens are always dead in the middle and much lichenized. The 
species evidently thrives badly within the territory examined. Dryas 
octopetala L. has not been found anywhere.

Rather rare; on the banks of brooks and lakes, and in pools. 
Flowers sparingly in August. The shoots are until 60 etm. long.
