THE FLOWERS OF KOLGUEV 407 
HALORAGE/E 
Hippuris vulgaris L. 
Abundant in the lakes of the Kriva district ; in fresh-water creeks of 
Bewick and Solnoida Lakes, where it grows in water 2 feet 6 inches 
deep. 
UMBELLIFER/& 
Archangelica officinalis Hoffm. 
Having no works on botany with me I had entered this in my notes 
as common angelica (4. sylvestris), but Mr. Carruthers points out its 
differences. It is very local on Kolguev. I saw ‘the remains of a large 
dead umbellifer’ by the Kriva on June 16; I saw one in the mountains 
just pushing through the soil on June 28. And I found the plant 
(since identified) in flower by the Kriva Lake on August 27. 
‘The garden Angelica (4. Archangelica) a native of Northern and 
Eastern Europe, long cultivated for confectionary, is not wild in Britain.’ 
——(Bentham and Hooker’s Flora.) 
MONOPETAL 
VALERIANE/= 
Valeriana capitata Willd. Small form. 
Circumpolar. 
This small valerian was one of the most widely distributed of 
Kolguev plants. It flourished by all the water-courses. It shared with 
Ranunculus Paillasii the distinction of being one of the only two 
Kolguev plants with a strongly marked scent. 
COMPOSITE 
Erigeron alpinum L. Var. wnzfloruim. 
This charming little plant, which with us is confined to open high 
mountains of Scotland, grew very locally and always on high ground. 
It was most abundant in the Gobista Hills, when I visited these on 
September 9, and at that time scarcely a flower had gone to seed.
