The berry of the Rubus ArSlicus, when fufficiently ripened, is
fuperior in fragrance and flavour to the ftrawberry and rafpberry,
and to all fruit of the fame kind, even what we have in Italy. A
fmall plateful would fcent an apartment with a more exquifite
fweetnefs than any perfume I know of. It is Angular that fo delicious
a production fhould be found in the North. They pre-
ferve it in Sweden, and it makes one of the moft delicate fweet-
meats. Linmeus fpeaks of this fruit in high terms of praife, and
fays, that it often refrefhed him in his travels through Lapland,
when he was overwhelmed with fatigue.
The Rubus chamamorus is alfo ufed for preferves. It grow?
plentifully in Lapland, efpecially in marfhy fltuations. The berry
of this plant is yellowifh, and nearly of the lame fhape as the
rafpberry, but larger in Aze, and more inflpid in tafte. W e however
thought it delicious when we found it in our walks, through
the bogs of Lapland.
I am of opinion that the Diapenfta Bapponica, and the Azalea
procumbens, fhould be reckoned among the indigenous plants, properly

high mountains, w'here all other vegetation feemed to ceaíé, and
nothing was to be feen befides the Bichen rangiferinus.
The Arbutus alpina, and Ttt/Jilago frígida, begin to put out their
buds in fpite of the fnow, and before it is quite melted; and often
