No references to the papers , where the above mentioned 

 collections are treated, are given here, as they are always to 

 be found in Lange's Conspectus Florae groenlandicae (Medd. 

 om Grønland III) and the supplements to that work. Br. M. 

 in the following stands for the herbarium of the Botanical De- 

 partment of the British Museum. 



1. Poteutilla Vahliaua Lehm. 

 I have seen no specimens from the localities reported by 

 Taylor, viz. Wilcox-Point , Horsehead, Hare-Island, and Dark 

 Head, but as a specimen, collected by this traveller in Cumber- 

 land on the other side of Bafßn-Bay, has been proved to be 

 P. nivea L., the Greenland localities also seem dubious, although 

 lying in a region where P. Vahliana is not uncommon. 



2. P. fruticosa L. 



No specimens from Greenland are to be found either in 

 the Br. M. or at Kew, although the later herbarium contains 

 also that of Hooker, who has reported this species from that 

 country. The indication must doubtless be a mistake. 



3. P. trideutata Soland, 



The specimens of Hart from Disco are not this species 

 but Sibbaldia procumbens L. A specimen collected by Rob. 

 Brown (of Campster) at Lyngmarken, Disco, is partly also that 

 plant, but it also contains a small fragment of P. tridentata. 

 This could perhaps have come together with Sibbaldia by mis- 

 take, as no other botanist of the many, who have visited Lyng- 

 marken, has been able to find P. tridentata there, and as Brown 

 made extensive collections at Christianshaab, where the plant 

 as far as hitherto known has its northern limit. 



4. Alsine Rossii Fenzl. 



Taylor has evidently not known this species as his speci- 

 mens from Cape Searle in Baffinsland are A. venia Bartl., and
