 length and breadth of the lacinise of the corolla and tube. Its more usual form is so exactly that of the 



l-uropean P. Hornemanniana (P. striata, Horn.), that I can have no hesitation in considering it the same 



and m adopting that name as the most appropriate. The arctic state of the plant, as found by Chamisso 



and Dr Richardson, m two very different localities, exhibits not the smallest traces of mealiness, and the calyces 



are almost black : the leaves too, in the specimens of Dr Richardson, are most frequently quite entire ; those 



from Chamisso generally toothed.

 expedition. I have carefully compared Dr Richardson's specimen with authentic ones of the European P. 

 Norvegica, the Asiatic P. Sibirica, and the P. Egaliccensis from Hornemann himself, and there can be no 

 question about the propriety of referring them all to one and the same species. P. rofundifolia, Pall. It., 

 and P. intermedia, Ledeb. in Mem. de I'Acad. des Sc. de Petersb., may also be cited as synonyms.
