Linpman speaks of self-pollination as rather uncertain, be- 
cause the stigma is so far removed from the anthers; but in 
the Greenland specimens it is 
closer to them than in the spe- 
cimens from temperate Europe; 
in Danish specimens the style 
grows to a length of from 7 to 
8 mm., and may project from 
1-5 to 3 mm. beyond the anthers 
(Fig. 37). In Finmark I found 
the length of the style to be 
from 5°5 to 6 mm., and it pro- 
jected only from 0°5 to 1 mm. 
beyond the anthers (Fig. 36 A). 
The fruit varies as regards 
its form as shewn in Fig. 36

Fig. 37. Vaccinium Oxycoccos. The var. microcarpum with 
(From Denmark.) downy pedicels has not yet been 
A, A large flower; length of stamens 6 mm.: 
that of the petals 61/2 mm. B, Nectary. 
(E. W.) cimens which occur there may 
found in Greenland, but the spe- 
have as small leaves as microcarpum. In Bosekop (Finmark) 
the two forms were found growing together. The flowers of 
the one piant are not quite twice as large as those of the other.
