and another of his collections under the name of A. Rossii 

 contains Sagina caespitosa Vahl. Both are in the Br. M. I 

 think therefore, that, even if I have not seen his Greenland 

 specimens, I can assert that he has not found the real A. RoshU^ 

 which species is consequently to be excluded from the Green- 

 land flora. 



5. Stellaria nliginosa Mdrr. 



A specimen under this name lay in the Br. M. The label 

 contained the indication: «E Groenlandia, Raben», and the 

 plant was St. borealis Bigel., as likewise a specimen labelled: 

 «Groen. or. Hornemann» in the Kew herbarium. Specimens 

 collected at Disco by Lyall were not to be found. 



6. St. glauca With. 

 A specimen labelled: «herb. Shuttleworth, Umanak» in the 

 Br. M. is a variety of St. longipes Goldie. Disco specimens 

 by Lyall do not exist neither in the Br. M. or at Kew. 



7. Pedicularis groenlandica Retz. 



Notwithstanding this species is noted from several South- 

 Greenland localities in the diary of Giesecke, and figured in the 

 Flora Danica, it has never been found again by the later tra- 

 vellers and collectors, and some doubt has begun to arise 

 about its growing in Greenland at all. Now I think these 

 doubts can be laid aside, as there exists in the Br. M. her- 

 barium a very good and unquestionable specimen of this plant, 

 labelled: «Pedicularis groenlandica Retz., Lichtenau in Grön- 

 land, leg. Menzel 63». It is to be hoped that collectors, who 

 visit Lichtenau and other South-Greenland localities, will give 

 their attention to the search for this beautiful and interesting 

 plant, and that they will be rewarded by finding it again, 



8. P. sudetica Willd. 

 The specimens under this name collected on Disco by Hatr 

 are all P. hirsuta L.. which name the collector again has used
