accordlnjr to Mr. Pursh. In the Arctic Islands, the S. foUosa of Brown seems to occupy its place, and upon 

 the Rocky Mountains, and on the North-West coast, the S, leucanthemifolia.

Hab. Arctic Islands. Capt. Sir E. Parry. Mr. Edwarfls. Capt. Sahine. — How far this may he entitled 

 to rank as a permanently distinct species, we are not able to say. In habit it has many points of agreement 

 with S> stellaris, yet we have seen no specimens approachiuo; so near to that plaut as to render it by any means 

 difficult to distin^iish them. On the continent of Nortli America it does not appear to have been found, 

 but it has been detected as far north as Spitzbergen.

 comparing their specimens of S. Nehoniana, described in the Botany of Capt. Beechey*s Voyage, the authors 

 now hesitate in considering it the same with the plant so named by Mr. Don ; henre we have excluded that 

 synonym, and their plant will be here found described under the name of -S. UicJiardsunii.
