The Prefecture of Piteå

(§462) At LÅNGÖRA, 5 miles from the old town of Piteå, I found a fine 'Corallorhiza' [Coralroot Orchid] in full bloom, which I have never seen before; it is very rare and, if you find one, you certainly will not find a second one.

(§464) 21st. Departed from the old town of Piteå and arrived in the evening in the new town of LULEÅ.

(§480) There I found 'Barba senum' [Mat-grass], an unusual grass that is called Coffee Beard in Småland. In Piteå they call it 'Pig's Bristle'.

(§496) Also, lead-like mica from the parish of Piteå; it blackens the fingers.
