All of the rare plants that I had only found individually or in the odd patch in Lappmark were growing here commonly and I concluded that the seed had been washed down by the rivers, especially as the rare ones were all water-loving species such as ‘Scept.Carol.’ [Moor-king], ‘Astragalus’ [Alpine Milk-vetch], ‘Acetosa emarg.’ [Mountain Sorrel], ‘Pedicularis alba’ [yellow rattle]4 et ‘coma purp.’ [Marsh Lousewort], ‘Asphodelus’ [Scottish Asphodel] etc.
