428 THE FLOWERING PLANTS OF NOVAYA ZEMLYA, ETC. 



and found sparingly in Ziwolka Fiord. The plants which I have 

 gathered in Spitsbergen agree precisely with Novaya Zemlya 

 specimens. 



103. P. suDETicA Willd. There are two very distinct forms 

 included under this name. Both affect the same localities — damp, 

 water-sodden tundra ; they both abound on Waigats, and give a 

 bright appearance to the areas over which they are spread. One 

 form has a deep pink blossom and a dark stem, with very little wool 

 about the blossom-head. The other form has blossoms of a very 

 delicate pink shade, the stem light green, and a great deal of wool 

 at the base of the blossom. The deep pink form with little wool 

 I met with on Dolgoi Island, around Habarova, commonly on 

 Waigats, and over Novaya Zemlya, and at Beluga Bay of Lutke 

 Land. The light pink form with much wool I gathered on 

 Waigats, Goose Land, and likewise on Lutke Land, at Beluga Bay. 

 I presume these are the forms of P. sudetica described as formae 

 gymnocephala Trautv. and Janata Walp. 



104. P. LANATA Willd. f. DASYANTHA Trautv. THs plant grows 

 in the wet tundra alongside of P. sudetica ; the blossoms are of a 

 bright rosy hue, and the flowering head is thickly clad with wool. 

 I met with it in abundance on Waigats, and around Neckwatowa, 

 in Novaya Zemlya. 



105. Plantago maritima L. f. pumila Kjellm. Met with in some 

 abundance on Dolgoi Island, and near Cape Greben, Waigats. 



106. Polygonum Bistorta L. A common plant on Dolgoi 

 Island, around Habarova, and spread over AVaigats from north to 

 south. Not observed by me in Novaya Zemlya. 



107. P. viviPARUM L. A ubiquitous plant. Abundant on Dolgoi 

 Island, and around Habarova, all over Waigats, Novaya Zemlya, 

 and Lutke Land, along the shores of Matyushin Shar, Beluga Bay, 

 the Pachtussow Islands, and Ziwolka Fiord, where I met with 

 specimens five inches in height. 



108. KuMEX AECTicus Trautv. I only found this plant on the 

 south shore of Waigats, and at Cape Matiusela, on the east coast 

 of that island. 



109. R. AGETOSA L. South shores of Waigats, Goose Land, and 

 Besemannya Bay of Novaya Zemlya. 



110. Oxyria digyna Hill. Universally distributed over Waigats, 

 Novaya Zemlya, and Lutke Land, as far north as reached by me, 

 viz. 74° 25^ on the east coast. 



111. KoENiGiA isLANDicA L. Tlio ouly auuual of these regions. 

 Found it in considerable abundance at various stations around 

 Beluga Bay of Lutke Land, and along the north side of the 

 Matyushin Shar ; at Besemannya Bay, Novaya Zemlya. 



112. Empetrum NIGRUM L. Coiumon on Dolgoi Island. Met 

 with at Cape Matiusela, east coast of Waigats ; an addition to the 

 flora of that island. 



113. Betula NANA L. Common on Dolgoi Island ; the same 

 over Waigats ; rarer in Novaya Zemlya. I do not remember
