« e plants Which have been cultivated for arresting the pro- 
gress of the sand-flood in North Jutland are Flymus arenarius^ 
Arnndo arenaria.^ and Carex arenaria. Arimdo baltica (Flor. 
Dan. 1. 1034), which has been used with success in Meklenborg, 
is also recommended for the purpose. 
‘‘ From the year 1539, there have been several royal ordon- 
nances against the destruction of plants growing on the sand- 
hills ; but it was not till 1779 that any attempt, worthy of no- 
tice, was made to arrest the progress of the sand- flood, when an 
ordonnance was issued for the district of Thisted, which, in 179^? 
was extended to the rest of the country ; and a commission was 
appointed to superintend the operations carried on to stop the 
sand-flood, and to reclaim the land which had been covered by 
it. At that time the sand covered 112^1 59 J tons of land, at 
14000 [] ells each, of which, at the end of the year 1816, 74,658 
tons had been recovered.’’’ — EsmarcFs Account of the Sand-flood

Funen has, with a few exceptions, the same Flora as Zealand. 
The plants peculiar to it amount to IS. 
Ijaaland and Falster are of a low and clayey nature, and 
consequently produce several plants, which kre more rare on the 
other islands, where the soil is more sandy, and not so moist. 
Laaland had long an article of trade in the manna-groats (the 
seed of the Poa Jluitans^ which is used for food in the North of 
Europe) ; it is, however, now destroyed, by the draining of the 
mosses, &c. 
The plants peculiar to these islands amount to 10. 
Althaea oflcinalis and Asparagus officinalis are here certain- 
ly near their most northern limit, and Ligusticuni scotimm near 
its most southern. 
Moen, though the smallest of these provinces, has long been 
known for its rich Flora, which it owes partly to its more south- 
ern situation, and partly to the variety of its soils, and particu- 
larly its chalk-hills, on which occur an abundance of the Orchi- 
deous plants, which are either not found at all, or but very
