This plant was first mentioned by DURAND, PI. Kan., as P. chlo- 

 runtlia, but he afterwards corrected the name in Enum. PI. Smith S. 

 X \THORST, however, has it as doubtful. No specimens were available 

 and it is only recorded for "Smith Sound Stations" by DURAND; more- 

 over, the specimens of HAVES, who also has it in his list under the 

 same name, are from the problematical "Tessiussak". This induced

To judge, from the few points within our area from which this spe- 

 cie.-, is known as yet, one would think it to be rather rare there; but 

 probably it will in general flower scarcely, as is also the case in Files- 

 men-land, and. in its sterile state, it may easily be overlooked by col- 

 ectors who are not trained botanists. In Foulke Fjord I saw only one 

 flower.
