Pedicularis lapponica,, L. 



This species is mentioned by Hart, Bot. Br. Pol. Exp., for his locahties 

 7, 8 and 12; further he says: "Sparingly at Disco and Rittenbank; 

 more common at Foulke Fjord, Walrus Island, and in Hayes Sound. 

 Scarce in Discovery Bay". Now P. lapponica is, in reality, the most 

 common species of the genus at Disco Island, where it is met with 

 wherever there is a suitable locality for it, but in Foulke Fjord it is 

 never found by others, not even by Hayes who had his quarters at 

 Port Foulke ; moreover it is nowhere observed in Western Greenland 

 north of the Waigat. In Foulke Fjord, as well as in Hayes Sound I 

 looked for it in vain. Consequently I already doubted Hart's state- 

 ment before I had had an opportunity of inspecting the London collec- 

 tions. In the Nat. Hist. Mus. herbarium there are no specimens from 

 the Nares expedition, except one which has no indication of its source. 

 In the Kew herbarium, however, I found a single specimen with "Dobbin 

 Bay, Hart" on the label. I cannot help thinking that this is a Danish 

 Greenland specimen which has been thus labelled by mistake. Not 

 one other single specimen from the entire Archipelago was to be found.
