368 Dr. Hooker's Account of a 
16. S. Edwardsii. 
S. nitida. Hooker in Scoresby's E. C. of West Greenland. 
Found, previously to its being discovered in West Green- 
land by Captain Scoresby, in some part of that country by 
Giesecké and Wormskiold. Dr. Richardson detected it on the 
shores of the Arctic Sea; and Captain Parry at Melville Island, 
Igloolik, &c. 
|... 9. ARENARIA. . 
17. Arenaria rubella. 
A. quadrivalvis. Br. | 
First found by Wahlenberg, near the summit of the alps of 
Lyngen in the northern part of Nordland, at an elevation of 
3000 Parisian feet above the level of the sea: afterwards in 
Melville Island. No other stations are at present known 
for it. 
18. A. ciliata. 
Found on mountains in the south as well as the north of 
Europe, as the Rhætian and Leontine, Pyrenean, Swiss and 
Carpathian alps. Likewise in Norway and Lapland; but 
nowhere on the continent of America. 
19. A. peploides. 
Inhabits the sea-shore of the temperate and northern parts 
of Europe: not extending probably further south than Bor- 
deaux. Common in Germany, Britain, Iceland, Sweden, 
Norway, Lapland, Siberia (Pallas) ; the coast of Labrador, 
the sea-shore of America and Hudson’s Bay (Richardson). 
Our arctic voyagers, however, do not appear to have met with . 
it. Wahlenberg mentions that this plant ascends along the 
sandy banks of the river Jana as far as Seida, above three miles 
(Swedish ones I presume) distant from the sea.
