330 - NOTES ON SOME SCANDINAVIAN PLANTS. 
From trees on an island in the Christiania Fjord, evidently wild. This 
seems to be precisely the plant figured in E. B. 2331,* and agrees with 
the original specimens in Sowerby's herbarium. Dr. Boswell Syme — 
thinks this figure represents a cultivated species (Eng. Bot. ed. 3, vol. iii, 
was dry and shrivelled, and I could not, therefore, test Fries’s character 
of acidity, by which he distinguishes his S. fennica from S. scandica, var. 
pinnatifida. (See Journ. Bot. vol. VIII. p. 260.) 
the rocks. It is referred by Koch to Z. montanum, as var. y. Crépin, 
from his experience in cultivating Luxemburg examples, believes it a dis- 
tinct species (see his ‘Notes’ fase. II. p. 44). It is readily to be 
distinguished from E. montanum by the smaller size of all its parts, 
especially its leaves, which are very distinctly stalked, and its peculiar 
much-branched habit, which suggests Æ. tetragonum. Dr. Boswell Syme, 
in ‘English Botany,’ says he has not seen British examples. Small forms 
of ordinary E. montanum are often called E. collinum ; the real plant, 
€ may be expected to occur in the mountainous districts of the 
north. 
Artemisia vulgaris, L., var. Close to the town of Abo, in Finnland, I 
gathered a form of this common species remarkable for its large distant 
heads arranged in long wand-like spikes. It exactly agrees with a garden 
plant in the Banksian Herbarium, with the MS. name of A. grandiflora, 
originally from Siberia. The interest to me of this form lay in its being a
