Plantae novae vasculares Florae Ellesmerelandicae. 71 
Kjellman, in Vegaexp.; Nathorst, Nya bidr. — D. fladnizensis var. altaica 
Gelert, Not. Arct. Pl.; Kruuse, Jan May.; Wulff, Bot. Beob. Spitzb.; non 
D. rupestris var. altaica Ledebour, Ic. pl. Fl. Ross. (nec D. altaica Bunge, 
Verz. Altai Pfl.?). — Fig. Tab. nostra 1, fig. 3—8. 
Parva, dense caespitosa: folia integra, anguste lanceolata vel fere 
linearia, nervo distincto, pilis rigidis, crassis, ciliata, praeterea glabra 
vel apicem versus pilis similibus (furcatisque) insita. Scapi humiles, 
aphylli, pilis furcato-stellatis (simplicibusque) obsiti. Inflorescentia pauci- 
flora, per anthesin subcapitata, demum plus minus elongata. Flores 
minuti, sepalis angustis, petalis brevibus angustisque. Petala sepalis bre- 
viora, aequilonga vel paullo longiora, spathulata, apice rotundata vel 
retusa, alba. Siliculae primum lanceolatae, deinde rotundatae, crassae, 
purpureo-brunneae, nitidae. 
D. subcapitata generally forms dense, low tufts. Each rosule of new 
leaves is surrounded by numerous old leaves, which are so hard in their 
texture, as to remain for several years. All, however, are densely packed 
together in the contracted stem. 
Ellesmereland: rather common in clay or gravel fields with 
sparse vegetation along the Southwestern fjords, flowering about the 
end of June, and developing its pods in a very short time. 
9. Papaver radicatum Rottb. var. Hartianum Simmons, |. c., p. 190. 
The hairs of the flower-stalk are more adpressed in this form than 
in the big one of the richer soil, but as I got the impression that the 
distinguishing marks are not constant, I think it better not to establish 
a Species but only a variety. 
Ellesmereland: North coast and Grinnell Land (Hart, specimens 
from Discovery Harbour!. Hayes Sound, recorded by Hart, but not 
common, as it seemed to me. South coast, abundant in the Barren 
Vallies (2898) and also at the western entrance (2455) in Harbour Fjord: 
Ptarmigan Gorge (2997) and other places in the interior of the Goose 
Fjord. 
10. Carex incurva Lightf. var. inflata Simmons, l. c., p. 146. 
Rhizoma longum inter muscos in aqua libere natans, culmus erectus, 
valde inflatus, spica subglobosa. 
Ellesmereland: Hayes Sound region, old Eskimo encampment at 
Cape Viele (859).
