The Betula Hybrida, is a new fpecies of birch lately difcovcred ia Dalecarliay and probably peculiar to that place. It has in bark and fruc- tification the habit of the Lirch i but the leaves partake of thofe of the acer flatanoides. The AspiN, populus frmula, is found from the higheft alps of Lap^ land, to the loweft places of Scania; the Laplanders call k/upp. Linnaeus, in his Flora Suecica, refers to it in his Flora Lapponica, yet omits it in that admirable work. The rein-deer are very fond of the frefh leaves, which are often gathered for winter food for cattle: the bark is made into meal for cattle, and the leaves and bark into a tea for calves, in Norway *. The White Poplar, populus alba, is fcattered over Scaniuy but is not a native, having been introduced there with the Black Poplar, populus nigra, of late years, and bears the winter very well in Upland. It is doubt- ful whether thefe are natives of Scotland. The Maple, the acer platanoides, is found in the fouthern parts of Sweden, and rarely on the mountain/^*a in Dalecarlia, one of its northern provinces. It grows in Rmidale and fouthern Norway more frequently; is cultivated in Drontbeim, The Common Sycamore, or acer pfeudo- platanus, is only cultivated in Sweden. Mr. Ray fufpedbs it not to be a native of England. The Little or Common Maple, acer campeftre, is rarely found above two Swedijh miles from Lund; poflibly not a native Swedijh tree: the largeft I ever faw was at the duke oi ArgyUs, at Inverary. â The Blackthorn or Sloe-tree reaches as far as Norland. The Buckthorn, rhamnus catharticus, ends in Upland. The White Beam, cratagus aria, is feldom feen beyond Upfal. The Wild Cherry, prunus avium, is found no farther than Scania or TVeftr
