Of the above 77 species, no less than 59 occur on the White Mountains and of the 
remaining 18 species the following 10 occur in Greenland :— 
Arabis Alpina. Parnassia Kotzebuei. 
Lychnis Alpina. | Gnaphalium sylvaticum, var. 
Arenaria verna. Campanula rotundifolia, var. 
ie rubella. | Artemisia borealis. 
M Arctica. | Armeria vulgaris. 
The distribution of the remaining species, in some instances, is very peculiar and I 
give them in detail : 
RANUNCULUS AFFINIS, R. Br. var. biocarpus, Watson. 
Seems to be peculiarly Alpine, as it was growing close to the snow and was believed 
to be R. nivalis, on account of its smooth fruit. Mr. Watson, however, refers it to var. 
biocarpum, which has been found in Colorado and on the Arctic coast. 
Rusus Arcticus, L. 
Can scarcely be called a very northern form as it ranges from near the Lake of the 
Woods through the forest country to the north-westward, and from Labrador to the Pacific 
Ocean. 
VACCINIUM OVALIFOLIUM, Smith. 
The range of this species is peculiar, being found on 1 Mount Albert in Gaspé, on the 
south shore of Lake Superior, and along the Pacific coast from Oregon to Alaska. 
CoMANDRA LIVIDA, Rich. © 
Extends from Lake Superior westward to the Coast Range of British Columbia and 
northward from Labrador to Lat. 69°. 
SALIX DESERTORUM, Rich. 
This species is very abundant on the western plains, and extends northward to Fort 
Franklin, but there is no other record of its occurrence so far east as Mount Albert. 
ERIOPHORUM RUSSEOLUM, Fries. 
This species was quite common on the top of Mount Albert, but’ it seems rare in 
eastern America as the only records we have of it prior to this are from Labrador and New 
Brunswick.
