46. Cardamiiie bellidifolia L. 



Lge. Consp. Fl. Groenl. p. 47 & 251. 



In table-land, 1 — 5 ctm. high with many stems: flowers in 

 July, sets abundant ripe fruit. In shady cracks the tufts become 

 very incoherent, the leaves large with long stalks and the flowers 

 rare. Not common, but found as well near the sea as in the 

 interior, more frequent above than below a height of 300 mt.

47. Cardamine pratensis L. 



Lge. Consp. Fl. Groenl. p. 48 & 251. 



Very rare; in the edge of brooklets and in low ponds, as well 

 submerse as on the dried up ground. The leaves are 2 — 5, ex- 

 ceptionally 8 ctm. long with 3 — 6 couples of leaflets; these are 

 broadly oval (f. angustifolia Hook. Fl. boreal. Am. I. p. 45 has not 

 been found). All specimens, even a very great one are sterile, not 

 even peduncle is indicated. It propagates by prolific germs on the 

 leaflets. These loosen themselves from the plant, fold or roll them- 

 selves together against the upper surface of the leaf, and the germ 

 appears at the ground of it; still, I have seen a few with the germ 

 in the middle of the upper surface of the midrib. Fioots shoot out 

 in a number of 1 — 6 on the under side of the germ. Especially 

 the end leaflets seem to be particularly disposed to the formation 

 of germs, but I have also observed them on the side leaflets. The 

 formation of germs does not take place, till after the leaf has 

 loosened itself from the mother-plant.

Widely distributed on herby slopes, on rocks, in fertile places 

 in the heath etc. It flowers from the IS*"* of June — the 15*'' of 

 August, with fruit in August, sets abundant ripe seed.
