Arenaria ARcriCA, Stcv. 



A single specimen of this species was collected in Northern 

 Labrador by Mr. A. P. Low in 1897. According to Dr. Robin- 

 son this specis is confined to Alaska and adjacent coasts and 

 our other herbarium specimens are all from that region, but 

 there can be no doubt about the identity of Mr. Low's plant. 



Arknakia CAPiiLARis, Ptiir., var. Formosa, Kegel. 



A. capillans, var. luvdifolia, Macoun, Cat. Can. Plants, 

 Vol. I, p. 70, in part, and vol. I, p. 496. 



Common in the Rocky Mountains and British Columbia. 

 All our specimens with the exception of those from Sproat, B.C., 

 arc this variety. The specimens collected at Sproat are much 

 larger, with larger flowers (petals more than twice the length of 

 the calyx), and much longer spreading pedicels. The whole 

 plant is glabrous, but is not certainly referable to either A. 

 capillaris or the var. nardijolia.
