THE FLOWERING PLANTS OF NOVAYA ZEMLYA, ETC. 425 



79. Taraxacum officinale Web. Met with around Habarova. 

 Common over Waigats, Novaya Zemlya, and Lutke Land. 



80. T. phymatocarpum J. Valil. Is a much scarcer plant than 

 the preceding, and markedly different ; its petals are delicately 

 suffused with pink. I found it at Neckwatowa, and on islands in 

 Kostin Shar, at Gubina Bay, and in Lutke Land as far north as 

 Ziwolka Fiord in 74° 25' N. 



81. Campanula uniflora L. On Waigats I found it growing in 

 considerable quantity on a rocky slope some 50 ft. above sea-level 

 at Dolga Bay. It was in flower on July 8th. I met with it after- 

 wards at Besemannya Bay, and at Beluga Bay of Lutke Land ; 

 also at other stations on the north side of Matyushin Shar. 



82. Pyrola grandiflora Raddi. During the first week of July a 

 Pyrola not in flower was common around Dolga Bay of Waigats. 

 In the middle of July I found more in the same condition at Beluga 

 Bay of South Goose Land ; but on July 31st I was fortunate enough 

 to obtain a Pyrola, at Beluga Bay of Lutke Land, coming into 

 flower. This has been pronounced to be P. grandijiora without 

 doubt. (Mr. I. H. Burkill remarks : "On dissecting a bud the 

 stigma will be found to be that of this species.") 



83. Arctostaphylos alpina L. I met with it at an elevation of 

 150 ft. at the north end of Waigats. Though recorded from Novaya 

 Zemlya, from between the parallels of 72° and 73°, it is an addition 

 to the flora of Waigats. 



84. Vaccinium Vitis-id^a L. forma pumila Horn. Common on 

 Dolgoi Island, the same on the mainland around Habarova. Spread 

 all over Waigats, from an altitude of 50 ft. to highest points ; in 

 flower end of June and beginning of July. Met with at Neckwatowa 

 and Beluga Bay of South Goose Land, but not observed by me in 

 Lutke Land. 



85. V. uLiGiNosuM L. Met with at the north end of Waigats, 

 at an elevation of 150 ft. In Novaya Zemlya it only occurred to 

 me at Gubina Bay, Matyushin Shar, at an elevation of 200 ft. 



86. Cassiopeia tetragona L. I was interested in finding this 

 plant, one of the commonest on the island of Dolgoi. It has not 

 been met with on Waigats or Novaya Zemlya, but as Schrenk found 

 it on the Great Tundra of the Samoyeds, almost at the nearest point 

 to Dolgoi Island, its extension thereto was to be expected. 



87. Andromeda Polifolia L. Very common on dry peaty 

 knolls over the island of Dolgoi. The remarks on distribution of 

 the preceding species apply equally to A. Polifolia. 



88. Primula stricta Horn. The Primula I found on Dolgoi 

 Island belongs to this species. 



89. P. FARiNosA L. This is a very common plant on Waigats, 

 from south to north ; always found near the sea-shore in peaty 

 soil. It is such a pretty flower, and so attractive, that I gathered 

 hundreds of the blooms, and brought back scores of dried specimens, 

 but all seem to be P.farinosa. In Novaya Zemlya 1 met with it at
