1898-1902. No. 2.] VASCULAR PLANTS OF ELLESMERELAND. 75 



much feebler glandulose covering, often 5-cleft leaves with narrower, 

 obtuse segments. 



Occurrence and habitat. S. *exaratoides was only found at the 

 Falcon Chff in the Goose Fjord in Southern Ellesmereland, in the rich 

 slope below a nesting-place of glaucous gulls, falcon and other birds. 

 When collected, July 20, 1901, it was in full bloom and many fruit 

 stalks from last year were also seen in the plants (2870). 



Distribution: West Greenland ? (some specimens in the Copen- 

 hagen herbarium may perhaps be referred to it). Northwest coast 

 of America, Menzies (Nat. Hist. Mus. sub S. exarata), "frequent upon 

 the Rocky Mountains between 52° and 56°," Drummond, (Hooker, 1. c), 

 Gray's Peak, Colorado (1300 feet), Marcus E. Jones 1878 (Nat. Hist. 

 Mus. sub S. caespitosa), Mt Agassiz (Alt. 1200), N. Arizona, J. G. 

 Lemmon and wife 1884 (Nat. Hist. Mus. sub S. caespitosa); Unalaschka

Very common in almost every locality except svamps. Most abun- 

 dant in rookeries and places of old Eskimo habitation. More than one 

 flower rarely developed, often none; the bulbillae are probably its only 

 organs of propagation, as the fruit was never developed so far as I 

 have seen. 



Occurrence. Grinnell Land, Discovery Harbour (Hart, Greely), 

 north of Princess Marie Bay (Hart), probably common. Hayes Sound 

 region, common; specimens from: Cape Rutherford (315), Fram Har- 

 bour (295, 1093), Bedford Pim Island (261). South coast, common; 

 specimens from : Fram Fjord (1657), Harbour Fjord (2438). West coast : 

 between Eidsfjord and Baumann Fjord.
