for another species, viz. P. lanata Cham & Schlecht. To tliis 

 also a specimen from Darlc Head, leg. Taylor, in tlie Br. iVl., 

 must be referred, and not to P.hirsuta as is done on the label. 



9. P. Kaiiei. 



As I shall have to treat the P. Kanei of Durand in detail 

 elsewhere, I will here only show what Taylor has understood 

 by this name. There is in the Br. M. one specimen, the label 

 of which runs as follows: «Herb. J. Caroll 1874, Pedicularis 

 Kanei T. et Gr., Loc. Dark Head D. S. Lat. at Long. 71°27N. 

 51° 57 W., Date (?) June, Hab. Freq. trap soil, H. 1000 feet, 

 coll.». The name of the collector is not mentioned, but the 

 handwritting shows that it must be Taylor. The plant is P. 

 hirsuta, and doubtless the same is the case with Taylor's spe- 

 cimens from other localities. 



10. Audromeda polifolia L. 



No specimens in the Br. M. or Kew herbarium show that 

 either Taylor or Hart really have found this species so far north 

 as Disco and Wilcox-Point. 



11. Vaccinium Vitis idaea L. var. pamilnm Hornem. 

 No specimens from Wilcox-Point, Taylor, exist in the 

 London collections. 



12. Ouaphalium silvaticuin L. 



No specimens referred to this species were to be found 

 either in the Br. M. or at Fiew. Hart, who records it from 

 Englishmans Bay, Disco, together with G. norvegicum Gdnn., 

 must have wrongly determined some specimens of the latter 

 species, although he says that his material was identical with 

 the British plant. G. norvegicum^ that Hart puts under G. sil- 

 vaticum as a variety, however also is a British plant as it 

 grows in Scotland. Certainly he has not found the real G. 

 silvaticum in Greenland.
