Mols Hills at Kalø Vig. Finally I visited the two islands Tunø 

 and Samsø in Kattegat. 



Along the first route in South- Jutland V. tricolor was the 

 predominant of the two species. Only in the eastern part some 

 arvensis were found. These tricolors were the most palmate ones 

 I ever have found (population V, table I, pag. 379). Some of these 

 (from Røde- Kro) had palmatilobate, broad-based, triangular 

 stipules resembling cornuta's and similar to the type Becker 

 has described from the Færøes as V. tricolor subsp. færøensis 

 W. Becker in Bot. Færøes III 1907, pag. 856. No maritima 

 types were found at the West coast by Emmerlev or Hjerpsted. 



Along the second route through the heaths and dunes of 

 West Jutland (populations P, Y, F table I, pag. 378, AA and BB 

 table II pag. 381), V. tricolor was the all-predominant species. In 

 my statistical schedules I have no V. arvensis. My intention was 

 to study the maritima types here. South of Nyminde I found 

 only one considerable population of V. tricolor in the dunes. It 

 was at Børsmose mid-way between Blaavands Huk and Nyminde. 

 They were tricolor individuals of the common type, only a little 

 phenotypically altered in appearance by the extreme conditions. 

 The leaves were not fleshy and the stems were normally green, 

 non atropurpurea. No real maritima (parvifoliata, carnosula, atro- 

 purpurea) were found till Nyminde, where the population AA, 

 table II, pag. 381, is from. All the individuals were parvifol, carno- 

 sula. Only 10 per cent were n.atropurp, the remaining were 

 atropurp. From here to Øhuse south of Nissum Fjord (population 

 BB, table II), where I left the dunes, maritima was very frequent 

 and the only one living in the dunes, even if the typical tricolor 

 grew in the fields on the other side of the road that separated the 

 dunes from the fields. Most of these maritima were a little acu- 

 minata but this character was not so strongly marked as in those 

 I found in 1919 in the dunes of Skagen (Clausen 1921, pag. 

 210, population K). The point on the spur-bearing petal was 

 very short. 



The typical maritima lives also further south than Nyminde. 

 From Fanø I have received seeds of a true parvifol, carnosula, 

 atropurp, prostrata type (leg. Professor Winge). 



In spite of the varying characters the maritima types from 

 Fanø, Nyminde-Nissum, Skagen and Læsø have something in 

 common: the small, narrow, glabrous, fleshy leaves, the narrow
