When I visited London last summer (1897) Mr. E. G. 

 Baker had the kindness to schow me the original specimen 

 of Braya glabella Richardson from Robert Brown's herbarium 

 in the British Museum, and I immediately saw, that this 

 specimen was Braya alpina Sternb. & Hoppe, exactly as this 



Fig. 2. Braya alpina Sternb. & Hoppe. 

 (Specimen from Norway, Tromso, collected by J. M. Norman). 



plant occurs in East Greenland (found by N. Hartz)^) and 

 in the north of Sandinavia. 



The genus Platypetalum has been withdrawn by Bunge 

 and the only species pur'purascens placed under Braya, but
