Gjölbol

This location is mentioned in the following paragraphs:

(§1139) The road between GJÖLBOL and Hvisbofjärd runs down along the edge of the sea. The grass was extraordinarily tall here and all kinds of interesting plants grew among it: 'Ribes insipida' [Mountain Currant] was very abundant. ('Opulus' [Guelder Rose] and 'Xylosteum' [Fly Honeysuckle] reappeared for the first time.) NB. the shrub with blackish brown berries that Mr. Höjer said grew out on the islets was possibly 'Xylosteum' as the leaves were certainly like bird-cherry. 'Rubus saxatilis alp.' [Stone Bramble] very abundant; it was pleasant to see 'Lupulus sativ.' [Hop] growing wild and twining itself prettily around aspen trees etc. 'Hepatica' together with 'Cracca alis dentatis, floribus striatis' [Wood Vetch] and 'Orobus vernalis' [Spring Pea] were also first seen here. The 'Gramen panicul. panicula compressa in spicae formam' [Reed Canary-grass] that is used for cleaning out tobacco pipes was growing here very abundantly and taller than me; also 'Cyperus' [White Beak-sedge] in the marshy ground, and plenty of 'Iris'.
