M. arvensis Hoffm. Field Forget-me-not. 
This, speaking generally, was ‘everywhere.’ It was among the 
earliest flowers out. 
Eritrichum villosum Bunge. 
A common plant. Ruprecht separates it as /atifolium, but, as it 
seems, on very slender grounds. 
SCROPHULARINE= 
Veronica longifolia L. 
It is impossible to describe the beauty of this plant as I first saw it on 
a bank of the Pesanka ablaze with sunlight on August 18. Later on I 
found it by the Kriva Lake. But in these two places only. The 
flowers are more loosely distributed than in our garden form of the 
same plant, and therefore I think more elegant. 
V. alpina L. 
This came out with us on August 8 in the Pesanka hills, growing 
among the grass. 
Bartsia alpina L. 
This mint-like plant was very local. The floral leaves were tinged 
with purple. 
Castillejia septentrionalis L. 
A peculiar-looking flower. It was growing in dense tufts a foot high 
on the Pesanka on July 4, and a fortnight later it was in flower by the 
sides of a little stream high up on Pesanka plateau. 
Pedicularis lapponica L. 
This, which may be recognised by its yellow flower, was abundant. 
P. hirsuta L. 
This, which has a pink flower, was fairly common in damp places.
