H. <i. SIMMONS. | SEC. ARCT. EXP. FRAM 



Tin- species, principally greenlandic, has curiously enough, never 

 mentioned from N. W. Greenland before T used the name in my 

 Prel. Rep., although in a wrong sense, as 1 had not then subjected my 

 T'li-n.i-iicit t< a closer study. In fact, the real T. i.>ltiiin(t(oc<irj>nni is 

 not present in my collection from Foulke Fjord, hut DAHLSTEDT has 

 found it hiding under other names in collections from our area. 



Occurrence. S. Ivsugigsok (NATHORST); Whale Sound, Netiulumi 

 I\VI-:TMERILL). HOLM, in his list of the STEIN collection, lias used for a plant 

 from Northumberland Island the same name (T. off. var. Uvidum) a- 

 FERXALD in WETHERILL. List 1894; perhaps this statement also may be 

 referable to the species here in question.

When I published my first reports of the botany of the expedition, 

 I confounded this species with the common Ellesmereland plant, i. e. T. 

 hyparcticum; hut later on I found that it came near to T. ceratoph or um. 

 which was already stated as a Greenland plant, although not mentioned 

 from the north-western parts. Dr. DAHLSTEDT, however, has founded a 

 new species on my material. 



Occurrence. S. Ivsugigsok (NATHORST); Foulke Fjord, abundant in 

 the gravelly and clayish slopes beneath Etah (198, 1473). Perhaps also 

 the T. phymatocarpum from Etah in HOLM'S list of the STEIN collec- 

 tion may be referred here. Mr. HOLM hat determined those plants be- 

 fore DAHLSTEDT'S treatises were published. 



Distribution. Danish West Greenland (known from a single lo- 

 cality at 68 U5').

This species was first hroiighl home from "near Smith's Sound, 

 by KAM:, hut as it was not found by subsequent expeditions, 

 NATHORST enters it in his list (N. W. Gronl.) as doubtful. Later expedi- 

 tion- h.-ive. however, found it in several places.
