448 ADDITIONS TO THE FLORA OF THE ISLE OF MAN. 



figured. One of these, " der weisse Mahn," is evidently Dryas 

 octopetala L. "Malm" is undoubtedly a misprint for " Mohn," 

 the common poppy [Papavcr duhiiim or Bhosas). Since the only 

 poppy that grows on Spitzbergen, P. midicaule L., has yellow 

 dowers, it is not likely that Martens meant this plant, but rather 

 the common white Dryas, which is not so very unlike a poppy. 

 The other plant is " der rothe Sauerampft'er," which probably was 

 Oxyria diijyna Campd., now called " Saiierling" by the Germans. 



If the list of plants collected by Martens be compared with the 

 most recent publication on the flora of Spitzbergen,''' it will be seen 

 that all the species named in the list have actually been rediscovered 

 by later expeditious. As to the locality where they were collected, 

 it appears that they were fouud in the neighbourhood of Smeeren- 

 berg, on the north-western shore of Spitzbergen, designated by 

 Martens as " Harlinger Kocherey." 



ADDITIONS TO THE FLORA OF THE ISLE OF MAN. 

 By Arthur Bennett, F.L.S. 



In 1891 Mr. G. A. Holt kindly sent me a series of specimens 

 from the above island ; and, when calling his attention to the 

 species they added to the 2ud ed. of Top. Botany, I asked him to 

 record them in the Journal of Botany. As he has not done this, it 

 seems as well to do so in view of the excursion undertaken to that 

 place in connection with the meeting of the British Association at 

 Liverpool. There are still a good many of the common species 

 (/. e. with census numbers from 90 to 112) that have not been yet 

 recorded to my knowledge, aud I trust full lists have been made 

 by some of the visitors. 



In the following list, where the species named is followed by a ! 

 it means I have seen the plant; where " sp." is noted, that I 

 possess a specimen ; in a few other cases the names were given to 

 me by Mr. Holt as having been seen by him.
