lobis lateralibus angustis instructis; flore unico (vel 2—3): laciniis calycis 
obtusis; petalis albis, calyce duplo longioribus; calyce, ovario, caule, 
foliisque caulinis superioribus nigroglandulosis, plus minus viscidis. 
This, in Ellesmereland, is the most common form, spread in diffe- : 
rent sorts of localities, principally in gravel plains, slopes. and rookeries. 
Only in a few places, in the shade of rocks or in especially flourishing 
vegetation it would go over into forms more like those from southern 
parts of the area of the species. The flowers were found from the 
middle of June till the end of the summer.

Only found at the Falcon Cliff in the Goose Fjord in Southern 
Ellesmereland, in the rich slope below a nesting-place of glaucous 
gulls, falcon and other birds. When collected, July 20, 1901, it was in 
full bloom and many fruit stalks from last year were also seen in the 
plants (2870). 
7. Draba alpina L. var. gracilescens Simmons, 1. c., p. 83. (Fig. Tab. 
nostra 6, fig. 1—3.) 
Forma insignis, scapo longiore et tenuiore quam in typo, floribus 
pallide flavis, racemo post florationem elongato, siliculis elipticis, glabris 
vel parce hirsutis. | 
The form here in question was very conspicuous both on account 
of its rather big, pale yellow flowers and, in fruiting stage, by its con- 
siderably elongated raceme. I was also inclined to look upon it as a 
separate species, but forms exists which connect it with D. alpina. It 
would often appear with only one rosule of leaves and a single or a 
couple of scapes, but also with a branched rootstalk, which was, however. 
always elongated and slender. The leaves vary, as in the main species, 
but generally they are rather broad, thin, and not very densely hairy. 
The scape is rather tall (3 inches or more). erect, slender, It is still 
more stretched during the development of the pods, and then also grows 
somewhat more stout and stiff. It is rather sparsely hairy. In fruiting 
state, the plant shows a certain resemblance to D. fladnizensis in the 
build of the raceme and also in the form of the pods, that are more 
pointed at both ends than in the typical D. alpina.
