8. D. incana ? 



The few specimens of this plant are destitute of root-leaves ; 

 but from the nature of those upon the stem, as well as of the 

 silicules, I have reason to believe it the true D. incana ; the 

 contorta of Ehrhart and De CandoUe. If so, it is likewise an 

 inhabitant of the alps in the south of Europe, as the Pyrenees 

 and Caucasus ; as well as of England and Scotland, Unalasch- 

 ka, Greenland and Labrador. 



It does not appear, however, to have been met with in 

 Arctic America, or on the adjacent islands. 



4. COCHLEARIA. 



9. C fenestrata ? 



Not in perfect fruit ; but probably the same as the arctic 

 Cochlearia, described by Mr. Brown and myself as found by 

 Captains Ross and Parry. If it be really a distinct species, 

 our present knowledge of it is confined to the countries visited 

 by those gentlemen ; in which probably may be included 

 Greenland and Spitzbergen.

 Upper Savage Island, and Duckett Cove {Captain Parry).
