Schacher. These two alps form two opposite spurs of the mountain ; upon these two alone the Wulf mìa grows, and upon the northern slope of each only; so that the plant (capricious thing !) is not only particular ahout its moun tain, but particular ab out, its place thereon. To me the Gärtner was new ground ; I need not repeat the details of the ascent, which have heen already given. It took us three hours to reach the Kiih we^e—the eastern o spur. We sat down at one of the few springs on the

graduai disappearance of the plant, which seems not to grow below 5,000 nor much above 6,000 feet of elevation, and enjoying tbe splendid prospect on thè Italian side, over a heaving sea of mountains, we descended upon this western spur, where the Wulfenia covers several rocky terraces with its vivid green, and where, in the pride of its blooin, the effect must be charming. It was near these terraces that À , a month earlier, made a careful drawing of the plant. Any one visiting thè mountain had

wider space. The habit of fche plant would probably re- mind the unbotanical observer of a Foxglove ; it is about eighteen inches high, provided with a rosette of large scalloped leaves of a lettuce-like form, and a stem all but bare of leaves, crowned with a spike of deep purple-blue flowers, all turning one way. Certainly, when in flower, thè mass of colour must be visible at a ereat distance— like that girdle of gentians which Mr. Ruskin describes as having vividly attracted bis eye from

a distance of several miles, near Landeck, in North TyroL The German nam© of the plant is c Hundzunge,’ or 4 Houndstongue/ no doubfc fiom the shape of the Jeaf, The height of the locality above the seadevel is probably not far short of 6,000 feet. At that time Churchill did not visit the opposite and, as it proved, more mteresting si de of thè mountain. Hermagor, or more properly, St. Hermagor, may b© considered as the ecclesiastical centre of the Gail Thal* Although this little town, and a few

dew, that my skirts were soaked ; and upon reacbing thè top, which was involved in mist driven rapidly by the wind, I was glad of the travelling rüg pinned round me in addition to the cloak, The sun had then risen, bnt of course was of little use to us. Early as it was, two gentlemeu were already on thè sum mit, one of whom enquired of G whether he had found any specimens of the ‘speik,’ a plant so character- istic of this mountain, as well as of the neighbouring Bau Alpe, as to obt-ain for both

the name of the c Speik kogel.’ He had been unable to discover any. £ Why, there are thousands 1 ’ answered G , pointing immediately to four plants at the speaker’s foot. As the view was so much obscured, we also betook ourselves to what we could see at our feet, and this was n early as varied a carpet as on the flowery pass of the Fedaia. The Speik (Valeriana, celtica) is a very small plant, formerly exported in great qiiantities, as an artici e of commerce, to Yenice and thence to the East
