According to th/s enumeration we find, in the Scandinavian 

 peninsula, 134 indigenous ligneous species. 



We now come to the foreign trees and shrubs. The central 

 points from which these plants have spread over the whole coun- 

 try are, Lund, Upsal, Stockholm, and Gottenburg. Some of 

 the introduced trees, such as iarix europoe^a, ^'sculus Hip- 

 pocastanum, some species of Populus, and y^'cer Pseudo-Platanus, 

 thrive here as well, and are almost as common, as the indigenous 

 trees. Of fruit trees, all that are cultivated north of the Euro- 

 pean alps grow in Scania; such as peaches, apricots, grapes, 

 almonds, chestnuts, walnuts, and mulberries (Jforus alba and 

 nigra), and they appear to suffer very little from the cold : even 

 figs (Ficus Carica) have lived through some winters. The 

 Japanese shrubs endure the climate of Lund tolerably well, as 

 Kerrm japonica, and Broussonet?«, which last had grown to the
