21. Caryophyllata (Geum) with a soli

tary upright flower. Must it not be a distinct genus? The petals are eight. (Dryas octopetala.)

22. An abortive variety of Saxifraga nº. 5 (stellaris), with small, obtuse, white petals, purple anthers, and a white embryo; but very rarely flowering, as the blossoms are all transformed into clusters of minute leaves. (See Fl. Lapp. t. 2. f. 3.)

23. Pedicularis with bluntly serrated leaves, and a pale flesh-coloured flower, with a deeper-coloured spot on the lip. The upper lip is narrow; the lower in three equal segments. Calyx large, hairy. Fruit hoary. (Pedicularis hirsuta.)

24. Dwarf Catchfly. (Silene acaulis.)

25. The same with stamens, but an abortive fruit. Pistils three. Petals obtuse, emarginate. Capsule of one cell. Stamens ten.

26. Sagina with emarginate petals and an oblong capsule. Pistils three. Is it an Alsine? (Stellaria biflora; see Fl. Lapp. n. 158.)

27. Salix villosa, with sessile ovate leaves. It is a humble plant. (S. lanata.)

28. Subterraneous willow, with orbicular concave leaves, male. (Salix herbacea.)
