THE FLOWERING PLANTS OF NOVAYA ZEMLYA, etc. 



By Colonel H. W. Feilden. 



(Continued from p. 39U,) 



23. D. REPENs Bieb. Is common around Habarova, on Dolgoi 

 Island, and widely dispersed over Waigats ; not observed by me on 

 Novaya Zemlya, though found on the south end of that island by 

 Mr. Theodor Holm. Apparently it does not extend beyond 71°. 

 Its manner of growth is singular — always in moss ; the flower and 

 leaves appear through the moss, but the plant stems ramify hori- 

 zontally as runners for a great length. 



24. D. HiRTA L., type, and its var. rupestris Hart. Around 

 Habarova, abundant over Waigats, common on Novaya Zemlya, 

 but not included in my collections from Lutke Land. 



25. D. FLADNizENsis Wulf. A wldcly spread species from the 

 mainland of Arctic Russia, to 74° 25' N. Dolgoi Island ; Haba- 

 rova ; Dolga Bay ; north end of Waigats ; Kostiu Shar ; South 

 Goose Land ; Beluga Bay, Lutke Land ; and Ziwolka Fiord. 



26. D. MURicELLA Walilcnb. Apparently a scarce plant, for it 

 is not easy to confound this with any other species of Draba. Only
