placed the plant in question in the genus Parrya, but there 

 also the plant cannot have the correct position, because the 

 plants of this genus have a leafless stem, broad generally- 

 winged seeds, and sinuate pods; also these plants generally 

 bear a considerable number of glands. But Sir J. Hooker 

 remarks that the cotyledons are slightly oblique. Turc- 

 zaninoff suspected (according to J. Hooker: Outlines p. 315) 

 that Eutrema arenicola might be his E.piliferum. Lede- 

 bour^) has put this plant {E. piliferum) , which he calls 

 Parrya microcarpa, together with P. Ermanni, into a section 

 Haplostigma of Parrya. Trautvetter-) and Kjellman^) 

 have shown us, that P. Ernianni is to be placed in the 

 genus Arabis; surely also P.microcarpa is an Arabis, but 

 by no means Eutrema arenicola. In the Synoptical Flora of 

 North-America by Asa Gray (vol. I, part. I, p. 187, 1895) the 

 plant is taken up again by B. L. Robinson as Eutrema areni- 

 cola and to the localities given by Richardson is added: 

 Gloverin Bay, Alaska (Muir) and Grinnell Land(r') (Greely). 



In the year 1840 the late Mr. J. Vahl, the meritorious 

 explorer of the flora of Greenland, described and figured a 

 plant found by himself in West Greenland at 61° and 69° 

 latitude in the Flora Danica tab. 2297 as Sisymbrium liumi- 

 fusum. Later on S. Watson*) has shown us that this 

 plant is to be placed in the genus Arabis, Sectio Pseudarabis 

 Wats., which name he afterwards^) changed to Sisijmbrina 

 Wats. He describes this section: Seeds oblong or elliptical, 

 very small, wingless; cotyledons often more or less oblique. 



Working at Arctic plants in the Botanical Museum of 

 the University of Copenhagen, I wished to put the Eutrema,
