Krummholz. — The mountain pine of Europe (Pinus montana) in the Alps is a gnarled and sprawling, much- branched shrub, but when grown in the lowlands it is a tree muchlikeotherpines. German botanists use their common name for this plant, Krummholz (gnarled wood), as a general term for the scrubby growth of woody plants above the tim- ber on mountains, and for lack of a suit- able English term, the word may be em- ployed here. On most mountains the "timber line" trees pass gradually up- ward into a scraggy Krummholz; good. Figs. 1051, 1052. — Leaf and stem variation in Heli- anthemum vidgare: 1051, an individual grown in a lowland garden, showing elongated stems and relatively large leaves; 1052, an individual grown in an alpine garden from a part of the same plant from which 1051 was taken; note the numerous dwarfed branches with their much smaller leaves and but slightly smaller flowers; b, bracts; x, calyx; c, corolla; both figures equally reduced. — After 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 Coulter, John Merle, 1851-1928; Barnes, Charles Reid, 1858-1910, joint author; Cowles, Henry Chandler, 1869- joint author.
