1898-1902. No. 2.] VASCULAR PLANTS OF ELLESMERELAND. 21 



Fjord; Fram Harbour (1086); Cocked Hat Island; Bedford Pirn Island, 

 south side (1188). Southern coast: Western valley in Fram Fjord (1627); 

 Harbour Fjord, in several places (2557, 2582); more scarce and stunted 

 to the westward in the lime and sandstone regions: Muskox Fjord (2118, 

 2136); Goose Fjord, in several localities (3582, 3645, 3955). Western 

 coast: Goal Bay in Baumann Fjord, Bay Fjord (leg. Bay, 479). 



Distribution: Northwestern Greenland (Foulke Fjord), probably 

 over the western islands of the Arctic American Archipelago and the 

 arctic coast of the continent. I have seen specimens that seemed to 

 belong to this species, from Duckett Cove (Parry, 2nd voyage). Parry, 

 3rd voyage (Port Barrow?), and some collected by Rae on the coast 

 at the Coppermine River and at Cape Krusenstern.

This species seems to have a very narrow range, as it is found, 

 outside of Greenland, only in EUesmereland, all other statements being 

 transferred by Dahlstedt to other species (cf. 1. c, p. 8), especially 

 T. ardicum, (Trautv.) Dahlst. 



Among my Taraxaca, it was represented only by a single indivi- 

 dual, collected together with a few specimens of the following species 

 on a clayey slope at the interior part of the Goose Fjord, August 13th 

 1901, when the plants had just begun to flow^er. 



Occurrence. South coast, at Ptarmigan Gorge in the Goose 

 Fjord (4265)1. 



Distribution: Greenland, northern parts of both coasts; EUes- 

 mereland. 



Taraxacum pumilum, Dahlst. 



T. pumilum, Dahlstedt, Stud. arkt. Tarax., 1905; T. Dens-Leonis, Hart, Bot. Br. 

 Pol. Exp., ex p. ; T. officinale var. pallida, Greely, Rep., ex p. 

 Fig. Dahlstedt, 1. c. ; Tab. nostra 1, fig. 2. 



This very characteristic little plant I had taken to be the true T. phy- 

 matocarpum, principally as it had developed pollen, in contradistinction 

 to the common EUesmereland form. Dahlstedt, however, has shown 

 it to be distinct from that also. 



' I liave given it a number of its own and removed it from n. 3394 where it lay 

 previously (not under 3392 as Dahlstedt, 1. c, p. 24, erroneously writes).
