ICELAND AND FAROE BOTANY. 353 



If anyone will carefully read the foregoing, he must see that 

 each species is numbered in Koman capitals, and the varieties are 

 described below them, with a letter or similar distinguishing mark, 

 and a Latin phrase. Therefore Fagus (oiwricana latifulia is on all 

 fours with Far/its sijivatica foliis (itro-rtibentibns — that is, not meant as 

 a specific name. As such it first came into being at Robert Sweet's 

 hands in 1827 ; he is the authority for it, not Miiuchhausen, making 

 a difference of fifty-seven years in the publication, and of course 

 subsequent to Alton (1781)). 



ICELAND AND FAROE BOTANY. 

 By Arthur Bennett, F.L.S. 



Following up the notes on the Floras of Iceland and the Faroe 

 Isles I have published in this Journal, I give the substance of a 

 paper by Dr. F. Kurtz, printed in the Verhandtungen dcs hot. Vereins 

 der Frov. Brandenhimj, 1895, pp. 150-8, entitled " Verzeichnis der 

 auf Insel und der Faer-(/)ern im Sommer 1883 von Dr. Konrad 

 Keilhack gesammelten Pflanzen." 



To the Icelandic list there are very few real additions, and 

 many of the stations given are repetitions of those in Groenlund's 

 Flora. One very curious addition may be noted, i.e., '' Solanum 

 tuberosum, Reykholt." Probably a good many people know that 

 the potato is grown in Iceland (especially in the north), but it can 

 hardly be admitted into a botanical list. 



I have taken out a few of the more interesting species, and 

 localities ; those with an asterisk are, so far as I know, new records.

The letters placed after the habitats refer to the north, south, 

 east, or west of the island.
