ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS 



TO THE LIST OF THE PHANEROGAMAE AND PTERIDO- 



PHYTA OF THE FÆROES 



c. H. OSTENFELD. 



SiNCE the publication in 1901 of my list of the flowering piants 

 and ferns found in the Færoes^ several investigators have con- 

 tributed to the flora. The result is not a few additions to the list 

 together with new localities of already known species. Further, a 

 reexamination of the material of several critical species has caused 

 alterations in my views of their value, and besides that some spe- 

 cialists have examined Færoese specimens of several genera, e. g. 

 Mr. H. Dahlstedt the genus Taraxaciim and Mr. W. Becker (of 

 Hedersleben) the genus Viola. For all these reasons I feel it ne- 

 cessary to publish a corrected list of the vascular piants, containing 

 the additions and corrections to the former list. For convenience 

 I follow the same arrangement of the piants as in the main list, 

 i. e. the alphabetical arrangement of the species within a genus, of 

 the genera within a family (order), and of the families within the 

 large groups: Sympetalae, Choripetalae , Monocotyledones. Gymno- 

 spermae and Pteridophyta. With regard to the nomenclature I have 

 used the same names as in the main list, with very few exceptions. 

 1 do not find it convenient to have different names to the same 

 plant in the diff"erent parts of one work, so the changes are ex- 

 tremely few. I have in the following list repeated all the species 

 names, consequently also the names of piants to which I have 

 nothing to add or correct. The list will therefore contain the 

 names o f a 1 1 the flowering p 1 a n t s and ferns h i t h e r t o f o u n d 

 in the Færoes. 



I have to mention the main contributors to this list. An Ame- 

 rican lady Miss Elisabeth Taylor has for several years lived
