Salix glauca, L. 



This species was first reported by KANE, but DURAND has excluded 

 it from the list in PI. Kan. It has been recorded later by WETHERILL, 

 whose statements I have, however, thought best to refer to arctica, 

 as may be seen above; and lastly there is the statement from North- 

 umberland Island in Mr. HOLM'S list of the STEIN plants. Of course it 

 cannot be denied, that S. glauca, a common plant throughout Danish 

 Greenland, might very well have found its way to the north-western 

 parts of the country; but still, I think it safer not to give it a place in 

 the list as an indisputable citizen of the region as long as I have not 

 myself seen specimens, especially as I have, as already stated, good 

 reason to think that Mr. HOLM'S opinion about the different members of 

 the form-series of S. arctica is not the same as mine.

KANE was the first to report this species from North-Western Green- 

 land (I Grinnell Exp. I, p. 143), but as he seams not to have collected 

 it from the single locality whence he mentions it, it did not come into 

 DURAND'S list in PI. Kan.; or he may have mistaken small individuals 

 of S. arctica for it. as may easily be done (cf. SIMMONS, Fl. Ellesm.,
