I continued my journey to Hyttan, and in my way passed a marshy place, such as the Laplanders call _murki_. Close to the borders of it grew the least _Thalictrum_ (_T. alpinum_), with four pale petals, and twelve stamens with long anthers, their filaments purple. In another part grew an _Androsace_ with two drooping flowers. It had five stamens; one capitate pistil; an ovate fruit of one cell; a five-cleft calyx, and a swelling (corolla of one) petal. It is therefore not a good _Androsace_. (This was unquestionably _Primula integrifolia_, see _Fl. Lapp. ed. 2. 52_, which Linnæus, in that work, seems to have confounded with _P. farinosa_. Speaking of the latter he says, "This _Primula_, the splendid crimson of whose flowers attracts the eyes of all who traverse the fields of Scania and the meadows of Upland in the early spring, did not occur during my whole journey till after I had ascended the Lapland Alps, where it grew very sparingly, furnished with only two or three flowers, and those of a very pale hue, so that in the mountains of Lapland it deserves neither the name of Cæsar nor of Regulus[56]. The stem of the plant, however, in these regions was a span or more in height, which is hardly the case in any other part of Sweden." _Fl. Lapp. ed. 2. 51._ Hence it appears that the real _P. farinosa_ ought to be struck out of the Lapland Flora, provided no botanist has found it there since Linnæus made the above remarks.) [56] See Simler, who calls the _Primula farinosa_ "Cæsar or Regulus among herbs." _Sceptrum Carolinum_ was in blossom near the water, as well as the gloomy _Aconitum_ (_lycoctonum_), "whose flowers with us are not yellow, as the synonyms of authors assert, but every where of a blueish ash-colour[57]." [57] This remark of Linnæus I have borrowed from Fl. Lapp. n. 221. Here also grew _Juncus palustris_, _calamo trifido_ (_J. trifidus_); the Violet with a yellow flower (_Viola biflora_); and the Wood Stitchwort with heart-shaped leaves (_Stellaria nemorum_, which Linnæus, in Flora Lapp. n. 186, confounds with his _Alsine media_, or _Stellaria media_, _Fl. Brit._ a mistake he corrected in his _Species Plantarum_). Shortly afterwards I came within sight of an oblong and very lofty mountain, situated on the right-hand, called Carsavari, composed of a coarse kind of fissile stone, upon which pure native alum is found; see Bromell (in the _Acta Suecica_ from the year 1726 to 1730). Very near the last-mentioned mountain is situated another, called Tavevari, remarkable for two rivulets running down from its summit, and falling over a rock in the middle of their course.
