426 THE FLOWERING PLANTS OF NOVAYA ZEMLYA, ETC. 



Neckwatowa, and Beluga Bay of Goose Land. I did not meet with 

 it north of the Matyushin Sbar. 



90. Androsace Cham^jasme Koch. Common on the mainland 

 around Habaiova. All over Waigats, from the sea- shore to the 

 highest summits. I did not meet with it in Novaya Zemlya. 



91. A. TRiFLORA Adams. I found this plant at Neckwatowa in 

 July, 1895, and growing abundantly at an elevation of some 500 ft. 

 at Besemannya Bay, in August, 1897. I submitted specimens to 

 Mr. 0. Gelert, of the Koyal Botanical Museum, Copenhagen, and 

 he informed me: — "The Androsace you kindly sent is A. trijiora 

 Adams ; specimens in a young flowering state are in our arctic 

 herbarium from Besemannaya Bay, collected by Kjellman and 

 Lindstrom, and are exactly the same as your plant." 



92. CoRTusA Matthioli L. This lovely little flower I only 

 found at one spot on Waigats, namely, at the head of Dolga Bay, 

 on July 4th, 1897. 



93. Armeria sibirica Turcz. Common on dry knolls over the 

 island of Dolgoi. On the mainland around Habarova. Frequently 

 met with on Waigats, from Cape Greben, and Dolga Bay. I found 

 it in profusion and in beautiful bloom at Silver Bay, Lutke Land, 

 on Aug. 10th, 1897. 



94. PoLEMONiuM c^ruleum L. fomia AcuTiFOLiA Wllld. Perhaps 

 the most beautiful of all the flowers of these regions. The lovely 

 cerulean blue of the blossoms and its tall growth and abundance 

 in certain spots make it a very attractive plant. On Dolgoi Island 

 it is abundant, growing in damp spots by sides of runnels. It is 

 equally abundant on the mainland around Habarova. All over 

 Waigats. At Dolga Bay it grew in suitable damp localities from 

 the sea-shore to 100 ft. of altitude ; very abundant at Cape Greben, 

 and on the east coast at Cape Matiusela. At Cairn Harbour 

 (Pomorsky Bay) it grew luxuriantly, specimens attaining a height 

 of a foot or more, and the same around Beluga Bay of Lutke Land. 



95. P. PULCHELLUM Buugo. I have some doubt whether this 

 plant is specifically distinct from P. cceriileiim. I have examined 

 hundreds of specimens from the same cluster of plants. Typical 

 P. cmiUeum would be found growing a foot high, with its roots in 

 the water of some rill ; as the plants spread upwards, where the 

 banks are higher and drier, the plants changed into what we call 

 P. pulcJieliuDi, but with every phase of intergrading. The following 

 appeared to me the fact : that P. cmruleiim always grows in wet and 

 damp spots, P. pulchelliun on dry spots. I did not meet with 

 typical P. pulchellum on Waigats, but found it abundantly dispersed 

 ov.r Nuvaya Zemlya, from islands in the lake of Neckwatowa, South 

 Goose Land, Besemannya Bay, and Gubina Bay ; on Lutke Land, 

 at Beluga Bay, and as far north as Ziwolka Fiord, 74° 25^ 



96. Myosotis alpestris Koch. Occurs on Dolgoi Island, and on 

 the mainland around Habarova. Abundantly dispersed all over 

 Waigats. The flowers are of many shades of blue, sometimes pink, 

 more rarely white. It is equally common all over Novaya Zemlya.
