The woods
The woods, the book says, are large, especially toward Norway, but not thick. The junipers grow tall. The inner rind of the pine, used in place of salt, is on the food page. The white ground moss the reindeer live on in winter is on the reindeer page. The fine moss laid under a newborn is on the children page. (Schefferus 1674)
The plants
The cloudberry the book calls by the Swedish name Hiortron. It grows on marshes, along the ground, and it was eaten with meat. Angelica in this chapter is called the Lapland herb, Samigraes. On the burial page the same plant is Fadno. A flower the book calls Calceolum Lapponicum it says is shaped like a shoe. No animal will taste it. Grass that grows in the valleys near the fells was put into shoes and gloves. The bait for foxes is not set out. (Schefferus 1674)
