THE PTERIDOPHYTA AND SPERMATOPHYTA OF ICELAND
371
Tanacetum vulgare L. (Chrysanthemum vulgare (L.) Bernh.).
Baring-Gould, 1863, p. 429.—Babington, 1871, p. 313.
Baring-Gould, loc. cit., mentions this species as growing “Within the fence
round the grassplot before the Governor’s house at Reykjavík”. As Babington, loc.
cit., remarks, it is most probably introduced. A specimen in Ingólfur Davíðsson’s
herbarium was taken at Hámundarstaðir, N., Aug. 1931 (introduced). In 1938 it
was also taken on the Vestmannaeyjar, S., and at Borgarnes, W., by J. Lid
(cultivated ?).
Tussilago Farfara L.
Thienemann & Gunther, 1827, p. 243.—Vahl, 1840, p. 373.—Baring-Gould, 1863,
p. 429.—Babington, 1871, p. 312.—Gronlund, Isl. Fl., 1881, p. 80.—Stefánsson,
Fl. ísl., ed. 2, 1924, p. 218,—O. & Gr., 1934, p. 143.
Thienemann & Giinther, loc. cit., record this plant from the country west of
Skjálfandafljót, N., and Vahl, loc. cit., mentions it as certain for Iceland. Baring-
Gould says it is “common in low spots”. Two specimens without locality are kept in
H.H.; one is labelled : “skænket af Halldórsson Friðriksson”,1 the other is signed
“Thorarensen”. In the last few years it has been found on Seltjarnames outside
Reykjavík (I.D.), and in many gardens in Reykjavík, but here it may possibly be
a fairly recent introduction.
Liguliflorae.
397. Crepis paludosa (L.) Moench, Meth. pl. Marb. (1794) p. 353.
Aracium þaludosum (L.) Monn., Stefánsson, Fl. Ish, ed. 1, 1901, p. 200.—
Ibid., ed. 2, 1924, p. 229.—Ing. Óskarsson, 1927, p. 53.—O. & Gr., 1934,

beard.
Only found in N., in the parts on both sides of Eyjafjörður. I.Ó., loc. cit., writes
that it is common between Hóll and Botn in Þorgeirsfjörður. See fig. 177.
Life-form: FI.
In shady places, in damp meadows.
Flor. VII—VIII; fr. mat. VIII.
Max. height: 70 cm ; average : 55 cm.

Creþis praemorsa Tausch.
Hieracium þraemorsum, K. & M., 1770,
p. 209.—C. þraemorsa Tausch, Babington,
1871, p. 315.
Recorded by König & Miiller, loc. cit., and
Solander states that he found it at Hafnar-
fjörður, cp. Babington, loc. cit. It should be
excluded from the Icelandic Flora, and so
should Hieracium sibiricum (Syn. Creþis
