Botany of the Faeroes - Wikipedia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Botany of the Færöes (based upon Danish investigations) – a three-volume classic scientific work on flora and vegetation of the Faroe Islands, including fungi, lichens, algae, bryophytes and vascular plants. It was published 1901 to 1908 and funded by the Carlsberg Foundation. The project was initiated by Eugen Warming, who edited the content. The published work was based on investigations made chiefly between 1895 and 1900 by F. Børgesen, C. Jensen, C.H. Ostenfeld, J. Hartz, H. Jónsson and Eug. Warming.

From Ostenfeld's "The land-vegetation of the Færöes", Fig. 171 "Perennial specimens of Cochlearia officinalis from a wet rock-ledge at Trangisvaag on Syderö, 9th May 1895. I. Stem-rudiments from the first period of flowering. II. from the second period. III. stem with flowering scapes of the third period. i. long internodes. a. specimen at least 4 years old, probably 5 years. b. specimen at least 3 years old, probably 4 years."
