Sagina procumbens L. The form with five-parted flowers 

 almost as common as the type. 



* S. Linnaei Presl. U. Occasionally on the Serpentine at 

 Baltasound. N. Stony places near Eela Water. 



S. Sllbtllata Presl. Frequent. *Var. glabrata Koch. N. 

 Near Ollaberry. 



S. nodosa Meyer. U. Sparingly on the Baltasound hills. I 

 could not see S. maritima. 



Spergula arvensis L. The only plants gathered belonged 

 to the var. sativa Boenn. 



Montia rivularis Gmel. Very common, and the only one 

 seen, whether in streams or on the peat. This is the only form in 

 Greenland. 



Hypericum pulchrum L. *var. procumbens Rostrup. 

 U. Abundant on the Serpentine hills about Baltasound. N. 

 South side of Ronas Voe. Mr.x Craig- Christie mentions (from 

 Ronas Hill) a small form which is doubtless the same. A quite 

 prostrate plant, with the stems hidden under the heather, above 

 which only the apex appears, and usually bears but 1 3 flowers. 

 The type was not seen. 



Ulex europaeus L. Only seen with Cytisus scoparius 



in a field below Mrs. Hunter's house at Baltasound. Both 

 planted ? 



Anthyllis vulneraria L. and var. maritima Koch.- The 



type frequent ; the variety sparingly on Burrafirth cliffs ; a 

 beautiful plant, the leaves thickly covered and ciliated with 

 silvery-silky hairs ; flower-stems tall, robust, usually with more 

 than one head of flowers. 



Trifolium pratense L. A form of this with narrow leaf- 

 lets and somewhat stalked heads is probably the T. medium 

 . Edmondst. It inhabits exactly the localities described as those 

 of the latter plant. 



T. repens L. A dwarf, large-flowered form near the sea at 

 (N) Hillswick Voe. 



Vicia sativa L. A corn-field weed in Unst. 



Lathyrus maritimus Bigel. var. acutifolius Bab. This 



has been reported extinct, and I could find only a few barren 

 shoots. Possibly more abundant in some seasons ? 



Epilobium palustre L. Frequent, and I believe always 

 as the * var. fontanum Hausskn. Mon ? This is a very large-
