Fig. 25. The distribution of Hypericum montanum in Sweden (a West European species). O : uncertain occurrences. The species is pretty abundantly spread in southern and western Norway to Lofoten in the north ; in Denmark it occurs rarely on the islands, except Falster and Lolland, and in Jutland; it is not found in Finland. A type which is divergent in several respects is represented by the continental species Vicia cassubica (Fig. 24). In certain districts of the mainland of South Sweden this species is one of the commonest in the flora that is especially distinctive of rocky escarpments and dry wooded hills. The species has evidently a great capacity for spreading itself in limited areas. It is probably spread by birds, e. g. gallinaceous birds, which gather the peas in their crops. Conservator Kjell Kolthoff of Upsala has had the kindness to inform me that one can imagine a very effective dispersal by the seizure of gallinaceous birds with peas in their crops by birds of prey, which like to seek out a place from which they have a good view and where they can enjoy their booty undisturbed, such as rocky cliffs and open wooded slopes. The content of the crop will thus be emptied in such Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Sterner, Rikard.
