FURTHER RECORDS FROM ICELAND. 79 



Babington, but not admitted by Groenlund in 1881, have since 

 been verified. They amounted to 132 species, and of these 33 

 have been gathered. Of the remaining 99 species there are from 

 60 to 60 that are not unlikely to be found, looking at their distri- 

 bution elsewhere. Those starred are the additions, the others 

 being merely new localities or corrections, &c. 



By the kindness of the Kev. Dr. Walker, who visited the 

 island last year, I was enabled to look through the plants he 

 collected, and to include in this list a few additions made by him. 



There is one point in which I think the Danish botanists are 

 hardly fair to those who have gone before. If a plant has been 

 reported, it seems only right that the old record should be given as 

 an appendage to the recent one, if even only from the historical 

 point of view. One instance will suffice : Glaux maritima was 

 given for Leiiarey by Koega in Olafsen og Povelsen's ' Eeise 

 ignenem Island,' and by Baring-Gould and W. Lauder Lindsey 

 from other three stations. This was afterwards found by Frid- 

 riksson at the same place, and recorded by Groenlund, ' Bot. 

 Tidssk.' vol. 14, part 4, without the slightest reference to its 

 having been found there before. 



Ranunculus heterophyllas Fr., var. succulenta Koch. Langarnar, 

 near Reykjavik. W. Isl. (Davidsson). I suspect this is the plant 

 that Babington describes, but gives no name to. 



Cardamine intermedia Hornem. Borgarfjordr (Thoroddsen ex 

 Groenlund). Hver, near Graferbakki. Muli, near Geysir. Minni 

 Laxa. S. Isl. (Feddersen). 



*Silene infiata Sm. Eskijordr. E. Isl. Bev. Dr. Walker, a 

 scrap just sufficient to identify the species ! Included by Lindsey, 

 Preyer and Zirkel, Hjaltalin, and Gliemann. Not recorded for the 

 Faroes or Greenland ; in Finland and Lapland North to 69° N. lat. 



* Geranium molle L. Hallbjarnareyi, W. Iceland (Davidsson). 

 Doubtless an introduced species. It grows in Sweden north to 

 Vermland ; in Finland in the Aland Isles only, 



*Malva borealis~L. Blonduos, N. Iceland (Fridriksson). Scarcely 

 a native of Iceland. It occurs in Sweden ; in Norway to 60° 43' 

 N. lat. ; Finland to 62° N. lat. (doubtfully to 63°). 



*Melilotus alba Lam. . Blonduos, N. Iceland (Fridriksson). 

 Doubtless an introduction. 



*Tri folium pratense L. Hafnarfjodr, W. Iceland (Froeken Thora 

 Fridriksson). Given in many of the old lists. In Lapland it 

 extends to 64° 30' N. lat, ; in Finland to 68° N. lat.— *T. minus Sm. 

 Solander in Herb. Mus. Brit, teste Britten ; Journ. Bot. 1886, p. 68, 

 note. 



*Lotus comiculatus L. Hallbjarnareyri. Snaafellsnes, W. Ice- 

 land (Davidsson). Given as Icelandic by Hjaltalin and Mohr, and 

 recorded from the Faroes and Finland up to 63° N. lat. In 

 Norway (Arctic) to 71°. 



■■'■Alchem ill a jissa Sebum., var. faeroensis Lange Seythisfjodr, E. 

 Iceland (Davidsson). Rostrup has a long note on this, and it is no 

 doubt the plant that Stromfelt reported as A. conjuncta Bab. (see 

 Journ. Bot. 1886, p. 69).
