"Lachesis Lapponica: A Tour in Lapland" is a journal of one of the most important scientific explorations in history, written by scientists and the leader of expedition Carl von Linne. It was the first work to utilize Linne's ideas of nomenclature and classification practically. In the journey that lasted over six months, Linne passed over 2000 kilometers and described more than 100 earlier unknown species of plants. He also made notes on all the birds, rocks, and plats he met on his way. The memoir describes his ideas, notes on the journey, and an account of his discoveries.

Отрывок из книги

Translator: James Edward Smith
.....
Here the Yew (Taxus baccata) grows wild. The inhabitants call it Id or Idegran.
The forest abounded with the Yellow Anemone (Anemone ranunculoides), which many people consider as differing from that genus. One would suppose they had never seen an Anemone at all. Here also grew Hepatica (Anemone Hepatica) and Wood Sorrel (Oxalis Acetosella). Their blossoms were all closed. Who has endowed plants with intelligence, to shut themselves up at the approach of rain? Even when the weather changes in a moment from sunshine to rain, though before expanded, they immediately close. Here for the first time this season I heard the Cuckoo, a welcome harbinger of summer.
