Report of this BotanicalJourney
In the Swedish Club of Mountaineers' yearbook 2012-2013, Thomas Strid wrote an article on the rich flora of Padjelanta National Park. He states that 360 different species of vascular plants are identified in the area, of which 35 are sedges. The richness of the flora can be explained by the variation in soil and rock types: chalk, serpentine and several others. Some of the most unique species of Padjelanta are Potentilla hyparctica, Gentiana aurea, Braya linearis and Primula scandinavica. There are also 8 different Draba species present. The locations of these species are described in the article by Thomas Strid. We decided to visit one of his favorite botanical mountains: Unna Dijdder (Unna Titter).The "Padjelantaleden" is a well-marked path that runs through the western part of the Padjelanta National Park. You can either sleep in the various mountain huts that are operated by Samen people, or bring your own tent with you. It is allowed to camp anywhere you like and you can chop wood to make a small fire if you wish. The mountain lodges are open from the end of June till halfway September. Because the best flowering time for the flora in Lapland is May or early June (depending on the length of the winter of course) the huts were not open when we visited the area. As a consequence of that, we had to bring our own food for about 10 days (you have to be prepared for some delay, for example when you have to wait until the morning to cross a glacier river). With two persons a backpack of no more than 20 kilos proved to be enough for the trip. Of course, it was not wise to use Den Nordiska Floran, because it weighs about 1.8 kilo. Instead, we took Örjan Nilssons Nordisk Fjällflora with us. This book is only 350 gr. and offers a surprisingly complete view of the Laponian mountain flora. The trouble is of course that the text is in Swedish, but that turned out to be workable by slow reading and speaking out the words whilst reading the identification keys. Only the Carex family proved to have too many untranslatable terms for us, so we were forced to neglect that family entirely.
19 June 2013: In and around Kvikkjokk (Google Map)
We started our BotanicalJourney in the village of Kvikkjokk. This
town could be reached by bus from the railway station in Murjek.
There was a "fjällstation" (a mountain lodge) as well as a "turist
service", that offered both a small camp site and small wooden
cabins. We arrived there around noon and decided not to head for
Padjelanta immediately, but look around in the area first. This
gave us the opportunity to make a start with our species list,
because there was plenty of time to identify the plants we didn't
know that well. The grassy meadows around the camp site and the
church were full with flowers. The yellow color of Trollius
europaeus and the purple color of Geranium sylvaticum
were the most conspicuous. Other nice species were Polygonum
viviparum, Rubus saxatilis, Rubus arcticus, Trientalis europaea
and Polemonium boreale, which was present in blue and
white. Around the Fjällstation we found Maianthemum bifolium,
Dactylorhiza fuchsii and Aconitum septentrionale.
From the church a small road went down to the river. We decided to
check it out. There were several different Salix species
so we took our time to identify two of them by using our
Fjällflora: Salix glauca and Salix phylicifolia.
Along the river we found Caltha palustris, Filipendula ulmaria
and Valeriana sambucifolia. We also found several species
that we would see many, many times during the rest of our
BotanicalJourney, like Oxytropis lapponica (see picture),
Viola biflora, Cornus suecica and Antennaria dioica.
The path going up from the camp site led through a forest,
providing us with species like Arctostaphylos uva-ursi,
Andromeda polifolia, Phyllodoce caerulea, Trientalis europaea,
Pyrola minor and on rocky places Barbarea vulgaris.
We also got to see a preview of the sub-alpine flora that we would
find in Padjelanta as well, with species like Bartsia alpina and
Pinguicula vulgaris.
20 June 2013: From Kvikkjokk to Njunjes (Google Map)
The Padjelanta trail started with a 20 minute boat tour that brought us some kilometers upstream on the river Tarraätno. Unfortunately rain was gushing from the sky in large quantities. The forest in the Tarraätno valley was very dense and the combination of the rain and the density of the vegetation created a dark habitat, in which we found species typical for circumstances like this. For example Geum rivale, Paris quadrifolia, Pyrola norvegica, Stellaria nemorum and Viola riviniana. In more open areas Gnaphalium norvegicum and Saussurea alpina were quite abundant.
There
were a lot of small streams present in the forest, which we could
cross by small wooden bridges that were kindly placed there by the
Svenska Turistföreningen. In fact we had to wait for about an hour
for a bridge that was just delivered by helicopter to be
installed. So we spent some time in the surroundings of a small
house called Bäcken. This house was surrounded by a grassy meadow
in which it is nice to look for plants - if it is not raining.
Next to the many streams we found Cirsium helenioides, Comarum
palustre, Eleocharis acicularis, Equisetum fluviatile, Myosotis
laxa and Sedum roseum (see picture). On places where
the water was blocked, peat lands had been formed with species
like Drosera rotundifolia, Eriophorum angustifolium,
Eriophorum vaginatum, Menyanthes trifoliata and
Pedicularis lapponica. As you can see the combination of
forest, water and bogs made the area quite rich in species.
Especially several Lycopodiaceae were present in large
numbers: during the trip we found Huperzia selago, Lycopodium
annotinum, Lycopodium clavatum and Lycopodium dubium.
We ended the day near the
(closed) Njunjestugan. This gave us the opportunity to leave the
forest, and go south of the river a bit. This area was more open,
with mostly dwarf tree species like Betula nana and Salix
reticulata. The area was rocky but very moist and we found Astragalus
norvegicus, Bartsia alpina, Cornus suecica, Melampyrum pratense
and Rubus chamaemorus there. Alongside small streams that
came down from the hills we found Sedum roseum, Thalictrum
alpinum and Tofieldia pusilla. For me personally the
presence of Pedicularis sceptrum-carolinum (see picture)
was the most spectacular. It is abundant throughout the whole
Padjelanta area and maybe even throughout the entire Laponia
territory, but normally you just find the characteristic leaves.
This was the first time that I was present at the right time to
see the plants flowering. And boy, they were beautiful! Just south
of the metal bridge near the stuga, I found about 10 specimens of
this spectacular plant.
21 June 2013: From Njunjes to Såmmárgarsså (Google Map)
Traveling from Njunjes towards the direction of Såmmárgarsså, the
forest got less dense. Gnaphalium norvegicum, Linnaea
borealis, Orthilia secunda and Stellaria longifolia
occurred throughout. At some locations I found Corallorhiza
trifida as well. The landscape was still dominated by the
presence of the Tarraätno river, alongside of which I found Angelica
archangelica and Arabis alpina. The vegetation
gradually showed more and more alpine influences, because of the
slow but steady ascent of the Padjelantaleden. The start of the
trail in Kvikkjokk is at about 300 meters above sea level, the
Tarraätno river at Såmmárgarsså is about 500 meters above sea
level, whereas the hills climb up to well over 1,000 meters there.
In the rocky meadows at these higher altitudes we found Andromeda
polifolia, Alchemilla alpina, Antennaria dioica, Gymnadenia
conopsea, Pedicularis lapponica, Pinguicula alpina, Pinguicula
vulgaris and Veronica serpyllifolia subsp. humifusa.
The rocks provided us with Cryptogramma crispa, Saxifraga
stellaris, Saxifraga aizoides and Silene acaulis. About
half way during the trip we paused on a land slide of rocks.
Although this habitat seemed very dry at first, there proved to be
several small pools where some (rain)water was collected. Between
the rocks and near these pools there were plenty of plant species
to be discovered. So here I found Astragalus norvegicus,
Campanula rotundifolia, Cerastium alpinum, Cerastium
cerastoides, Cerastium fontanum, Dryas octopetala, Myosotis
arvensis, Oxyria digyna (see picture), Silene
involucrata subsp. furcata and Silene suecica. Of
the latter many flowering stems of the previous year were present.
22 June 2013: From Såmmárgarsså to Darreluoppal (Google Map)
From Såmmárgarsså it still was about a half days' walk to the tree
line. At the point where the Padjelantaleden climbed out of the
shrubs we found ourselves at the entrance of the Padjelanta
National Park. A broad valley, clearly formed by glaciers in a
distant past, stretched out in front of us. It was a spectacular
sight indeed. The alpine grasslands provided us with species like
Diphasiastrum alpinum, Draba daurica, Epilobium
anagallidifolium, Minuartia rubella, Potentilla crantzii,
Primula stricta (see picture), Veronica alpina and Cassiope
hypnoides. On more moist locations we found Dactylorhiza
viridis, Tussilago farfara, Menyanthes trifoliata, Parnassia
palustris, Pinguicula alpina and Viola palustris. The
source of the river Tarraätno, which is called Darrejåhkå from a
certain point, is formed by melting water originating from the
high mountains. This water is collected in a small lake, called
Darreluoppal, which actually has a sandy beach on its north shore.
Near this beach I found Erigeron uniflorus. Unfortunately
for us it was still raining heavily, so I wasn't too enthusiastic
to identify many plant species, especially since it was almost
impossible to write something down in my soaked notebook. Only
after we had put up our tent somewhere in de vicinity of the lake
I took some time to identify several willow species (yes, indeed I
took some parts with me in my tent, where I had a warm, dry and
very comfortable sleeping bag). I found out that I had collected a
variety of male and female flowers of Salix hastata, Salix
lanata and Salix lapponum.
23 June 2013: From Darreluoppal to Tuottar (Google Map)
For me, the trip from Darreluoppal to Tuottar was one of the most
spectacular parts of the BotanicalJourney. However, it did not
start very promising, as it was still raining when we woke up. We
waited the entire morning, taking shelter from the rain in the
waste compartment of Tarraluoppalstugorna. When it finally seemed
to get a bit dryer, I made a short trip in the surroundings of the
stugorna, where I found a rock with many Ranunculus nivalis
on it. When we decided to continue our hike it started to rain
again, but I found very nice specimens Primula stricta.
After the rain had stopped, the scenery in the sunny afternoon was
stunning, as we passed dozens of small lakes at an altitude of
about 900 meters above sea level. The alpine grass lands provided
us with many nice plant species like Athyrium alpestre,
Erigeron humilis, Loiseleuria procumbens and in a small pond
Potamogeton alpinus. Pedicularis hirsuta (see picture) was
a new specie for me.
On the western slopes of mount Duottar we put up our tent and
spread out all our luggage to dry in the sun. This gave me an
opportunity to check out the surroundings without having a heavy
backpack with me. And there was plenty to see! For example, on
shaded rocks I found several Saxifraga species: Saxifraga
cernua, Saxifraga nivalis and Saxifraga oppositifolia.
I also found Pedicularis flammea (see picture), one of the
"magic" species of Padjelanta which I had desired to see very
much. When I climbed a hill I enjoyed the view on a Norwegian
mountain range in the west. This hill top also provided me with Salix
herbacea and Salix polaris. Furthermore there were
Diapensia lapponica, Diphasiastrum complanatum, Draba lactea,
Gnaphalium supinum, Potentilla nivea and Viola biflora.
24 June 2013: From Tuottar to Biedjovárátja (Google Map)
The surroundings of Tuottarstugorna were downright spectacular. We
were completely alone, the weather was excellent and in a nearby
lake we saw some Black-throated Loons. What more can you wish for?
While waiting for the Loons to make their impressive sounds I made
a picture of Potentilla nivea and Antennaria alpina.
The Padjelantaleden continued through the alpine environment
with its many lakes. In the surroundings of a lake called
Ieltijávrásj I found Cerastium alpinum, Cardamine bellidifolia
(see picture) and Campanula uniflora. Throughout the area
Loiseleuria procumbens, Diapensia lapponica, Saxifraga
stellaris, Leontodon autumnalis, Ranunculus glacialis and Saxifraga
cespitosa were present as well. Finally the Padjelantaleden
descended towards an enormous lake called Virihávrre and the Samen
village of Staloluokta. We put up our tent on a low hill top just
south of the village. I found Eriophorum scheuchzeri,
Saxifraga aizoides, Pedicularis flammea, Tofieldia pusilla
and Polygonum viviparum here.
25 June 2013: From Biedjovárátja to Arasluokta (Google Map)
In the earlier mentioned article the Swedish botanist and expert
on the flora of the Padjelanta area Thomas Strid calls the hill
Unna Diider (Unna Titter) one of his favorite botanical hills of
Padjelanta. According to Strid the hill is rich in orchids like Chamorchis
alpina, Leucorchis albida, Coeloglossum viride, Gymnadenia
concopsea and Corallorhiza trifida. Other nice
species that are mentioned by Strid are Euphrasia
salisburgiensis, Pedicularis flammea, Anthyllis vulneraria
and above all Primula scandinavica. As you can imagine, I
was anxious to pay a visit to this hill. Following the
Padjelantaleden you can easily take a small detour. Unna Diider is
situated near the town of Saltoluokta, so at the Samen church we
left the Padjelantaleden and followed a path up hill. Immediately
we found that Strid was right about the richness of the area! We
found many of the orchid species he mentioned like Chamorchis
alpina, Coeloglossum viride and Gymnadenia concopsea. The
slope of the hill was rich in all sorts of northern and subalpine
plant species like Anthyllis vulneraria, Cerastium alpinum,
Erigeron uniflorus, Hieracium alpinum (group), Potentilla
crantzii, Pyrola norvegica and Silene suecica (see
picture). At a certain point the path was no longer visible so we
continued to climb to the top by using our compass. Finally we
reached a signal tower where we found Rhododendron lapponicum.
The tower was not situated at the actual top of the hill but the
location provided spectacular views over the lake Virihávrre and
the Norwegian mountain range to the west. Between the signal tower
and the top of Unna Diider there was a small plateau with many
small ponds and large rocks. It was very nice to look for plants
here, as I found Silene acaulis, Arabis alpina, Pinguicula
alpina and several Saxifraga species, like Saxifraga
cernua, Saxifraga adscendens and Saxifraga tenuis.
On the other side of the hill we found a way down to the valley of
Dijddervágge. From there we went straight to the west, picking up
the Padjelantaleden near a group of small lakes. Here we found Sibbaldia
procumbens, Ranunculus pygmaeus and Silene uralensis.
If only I had known how close I was to the growing site of Primula
scandinavica. I missed it by only a few hundreds of meters
(which I found out when I was back at home), but I really would
have liked to see that species!
26 June 2013: From Arasluokta to Loadásj (Google Map)
The trip from Arasluokta to Loadásj went through an area that was
called Pårka (Boarkka). This was a boggy area with lots of small
rain water pools. The soil and rocks were remarkably variegated
here; we have seen acid soils but also areas rich in lime. In one
of these calcareous areas I found many specimens of Pseudorchis
albida (see picture), whereas also Saxifraga aizoides
and Primula stricta were present. The highest point of the
Pårka area was marked by a large limestone rock, standing upright
in a desolated (but beautiful!) landscape. Here I found many Dryas
octopetala and Silene acaulis. Other places
alongside the track offered us Erigeron borealis and Myosotis
decumbens. I always check out rocky ridges for saxifragas
and other nice species, and this time I found Saxifraga
stellaris that way. Other nice species of the Pårka area
were Erigeron borealis, Silene suecica, Gymnadenia conopsea
and Saxifraga cernua. After passing the river Låddejåhkå
the view was dominated by yet another enormous lake: Vastenjávrre.
27 June 2013: From Loadásj to Gisuris (Google Map)
From Loadásj the Padjelantaleden followed the Vuojatädno, a broad
river that connects the lake of Vastenjávrre with the Sállohávrre
and the Guvtjávrre. Alongside the path we found Astragalus
frigidus (see picture), Veronica alpina and Corallorhiza
trifida. The landscape was spectacular and the trail was
partially situated on top of steep morene ridges which provided
spectacular views over the glacier-formed landscape. The ridges
were sometimes covered with trees and the closer we got to
Gisuris, the bigger the trees became. Near the stuga, where we
bought some delicious Samen-made bread, we found Solidago
virgaurea.
The Gisurisstugan is at the border of the Padjelanta park. The
Padjelantaleden continues north towards the Akkastugorna, where a
boat and a bus service bring the traveler back to the civilized
world. However, we chose not to end our BotanicalJourney yet, and
headed east to visit another spectacular area: Stora Sjöfallets
Nationalpark. As you will notice, the description of the
BotanicalJourney will be more staccato from now on. The reason for
that is that the area was more barren, paths were absent and our
attention therefore was drawn more to navigating than to recording
plant species. Nevertheless I will make some comments on some nice
locations and plant species in Stora Sjöfallets Nationalpark.
28 June 2013: At Nijákriehppejávrásj (Google Map)
The track through Stora Sjöfallets Nationalpark was spectacular:
the sight of high mountains like Åhkkå (2,015m), Gisuris (1,664m),
Niják (1,922m) and the peak range of Sarek (2,089m) were
impressive. Most of the mountains were still covered with snow and
many glaciers provided the Stora Sjöfallet plateau with plenty of
water. Both mount Gisuris and mount Niják had almost vertical
slopes. After wading through the river Nijákjågåsj we climbed the
slope of the Nijak towards a glacier lake called
Nijákriehppejávrásj. It was quite heavy work to get there but the
stunning views over Stora Sjöfallet were more than rewarding. Near
the lake, which was at an altitude of 1,172 meter above sea level
and very windy because of the "tunnel" formed by the mountains, I
found several nice plant species. New for me was Saxifraga
rivularis but also Ranunculus glacialis, Salix herbacea,
Saxifraga tenuis and Cardamine bellidifolia were
present. I was very happy to find also Campanula uniflora
(see picture) here. I don't know why, but to me this was the
nicest specie of this BotanicalJourney.
1 July 2013: Around Vietas (Stora Sjöfallet) (Google Map)
The visit to Stora Sjöfallet proved to be a very good finale to
our BotanicalJourney. The trip through the national park took us
several days, during which we were amazed by the beauty of the
mountains and the many, many lakes of Stora Sjöfallet. We followed
the plateau all the way to the east, ending at the power station
of Suorva and the camp site of Vietas. We stayed in Vietas for a
couple of days and walked around a bit there. A visit to the
"primeval" forest along the river Viedásädno resulted in the
recording of several nice plant species like Rhinanthus minor,
Linnaea borealis (see picture) and Erigeron acer. At
one location we found Pyrola norvegica, Pyrola minor and Orthilia
secunda growing right next to one another, which made it
easy to check the difference in size.
A short walk up a hill called Juobmotjåkkå was interesting as
well: it started in a boggy area with typical species like Menyanthes
trifoliata and Rubus chamaemorus. In the forest Pyrola
norvegica, Linnaea borealis and Euphrasia frigida
were present abundantly. At a higher altitude, around the tree
line, we saw many berries belonging to Arctostaphylos alpinus
and the bright red/orange flower spikes of Salix bebbiana
(see picture) were very conspicuous as well.
So this was the end of our second BotanicalJourney in Laponia. It
was a success: we recorded nice plant species and the landscape
was downright spectacular. The food in the restaurant of Stora
Sjöfallet in Vietas came right out of heaven and was a welcome
change after about 10 days of eating only trekking food!
List of the recorded plant species
PLEASE NOTE:
Only the first finding of species is displayed. So species that
were both recorded on the 19th and the 21th of June ONLY are noted
on the 19th.
