leaves. Leaves narrow, 2—3 mm broad, bracts much broader, usually on either side

to 35 cm high, and the bracts with entire margins.

Flora Dan. tab. 1878.
Icelandic: Tröllastakkur, Lúsajurt. Danish: Flamme-Troldurt.
Frequent in all parts, especially in the hills and in the central highland.
In Babington, loc. cit., is entered P. Oederi Vahl (syn. P. flammea Oed. (non
L.), Fl. Dan. tab. 30, and P. versicolor Wg.), the Icelandic plant is, however,
P. flammea L., and P. Oederi Vahl is not found in Iceland.
Life-form: H.
In mossy places, in heaths, fell-field, especially at a somewhat high level (from
100—900 m).
Flor. VI—VII; fr. mat. VII—VIII.
Max. height: 10 cm ; average : 8 cm.
Geogr. area: Am.: Labrador, Melville Peninsula, Baffin Land, Alaska.—Greenl.:
W. 60°—about 75°55'. E. 60°—77°4'.—Eur.: Mts. of northern Scandinavia, Arctic
Russia.
Pedicularis þalustris Linn.
Baring-Gould, 1863, p. 431.—Babington, 1871, p. 320.—Gronlund, Isl. Fl., 1881,
p. 65.
This species is recorded by Baring-Gould, loc. cit., from Miklibær in Skaga-
fjörður, N., but this record is evidently due to an error. Gronlund, too, loc. cit.,
has entered it in his Isl. Flora, and mentions that it has been found in Iceland by
Steenstrup. No specimens are in evidence, and it should be excluded from the
Icelandic flora.
Pedicularis sylvatica Linn.
K. & M., 1770, p. 208,—Baring-Gould, 1863, p. 431,—Babington, 1871, p. 320.
This species is recorded by König & Miiller, loc. cit., and is entered in some
other earlier lists. Like P. þalustris it should be excluded from the Icelandic flora.
