As there is only a fructified scape of this plant, I am unable 

 to say whether it belonged to D. octopetala or to D. integri- 

 folia.

This species is found as far south in Europe as the alps of 

 Tyrol, Dauphiny and Switzerland. Gmelin gives it as an in- 

 habitant of Siberia ; and it is a native of Norway and Lapland. 

 Colmaster found it in Labrador ; Richardson on the shores of 

 the Arctic Sea ; Jameson on the west coast of Greenland (for 

 I presume that it is the P. Jamesoniana of my friend Mr. Gre- 

 ville) ; Captain Parry in Melville Island : and it was also dis- 

 covered in several of the places visited during that navigator's 

 second voyage.
