D'ear Friend l 
Already since October 2 1 am again here^^but I get only to- 
day to select the few Juncus ,which I found in quantityvl foundi 
Juncus filiformis every place from-65 n.O;. - 68 n.O. in- (' 1,2,3) 
mostly very low specimens, hardly one half as high as they grow with- 
US', . Juncus was also not rare.Other JTinci,e,g. alpinus 
I saw rarely. Juncus f oedidus L, I only formd near Wakaniwa on the 
Muonio in the russian and upon the Wallch^ (^'E.D.) con- 
sisting of gneiss near ;are already brown-green as it 
was September 11 (?) or 12 (?).- The label with the plants gives the 
date correctly, - are quite foreign. Juncus and ^ 
I saw no place. However I was little in the mountains as there were 
hardly any Nymphaeae there«. 
What the Nymphaeaceae concerns, I was very fortunate and listed 
the rushian, which provided the genus for the northern plants - 9 corms 
to Lonstadino (? E .D.)- It is here i n Nuphar luteum^ and pumili;mr and 
bastards 1,2,3, and others in ..The bastards have bad pollen 
and develop very few seeds. Nuphar intermediina Anders & Ledebour is 
a bastardjl. It Stands between Nuphar pumil. & luteim. - Andermanns 
Statement, t ha t^ Nuphar intermedium exists in Lappland is Tcrong.. 
NympHaea alba nigrostigma aperta I found to 67| n.O. north, far the 
other side of the polar circle.- 
I know nothing of you since 3| months. Since my return^- 1 found? 
mountains of letters and endless business to accomplish, that I can 
not get to it, to close the gaps,which the trip has made into the 
free-time for my friends. The trip was mostly very strenuous, as I 
had to travel mostly in a boat on rivers or on foot', the distances 
enormous and, therefor, very time-consuming^. T was not able to occu- 
py mysekf with other plants much besides Nymphaeae. More detail
