13. Salix reticulata L. 



No specimens neither at Kew nor in the Br. M. confirm 

 Taylor's statement, that this species should grow at Wilcox- 

 Point and Svartenhuk. As the plant is never found elsewhere 

 in Greenland, he probably has been misled by a broadleaved 

 form of S. arctica Pall, or S. groenlandica (Anders.) Lundstr., 

 such forms often being of a puzzling likeness to S. reticulata. 



14. Eriophorum vaginatum L. 

 Only one specimen thus labelled was found in the Br. M. 

 It was collected in Danish Greenland by Rob. Brown (of Camp- 

 ster), and the plant was E. ScJieuchzeri Hoppe. None of Hart's 

 specimens were determined as E. vaginatum although he in- 

 dicates that species from several localities. Probably the error 

 has been discovered later and the specimens transferred to E. 

 Scheuch zer i . 



16. Carex ustiilata Wahlenb. 

 This species has hitherto only twice been recorded from 

 Greenland, from Karajak-Fjord by Vanhoffen 1897, and by 

 DusÉN from Hurry-Inlet 1901. However I have found an older 

 specimen in the Br. M. It is brought home from Proven by 

 Hart, and lay under the name of C. misatidra R. Br. together 

 with a specimen of that plant. 



16. Aira caespitosa L. var. brevifolia M. v. Bieb. 

 I have had opportunity to examine in the State Museum 

 (Riksmuseum) of Stockholm an Aira, which Prof. Nathorst has 

 brought home from Hare-Island and after consulting Prof. 

 Lange called A. caespitosa var. brevifolia. It also doubtless is 

 that plant, although much smaller than in more southern local- 

 ities, but must not be confounded with the Deschampsia brevi- 

 folia of Rob. Brown, a very distinct variety which I shall have 

 to treat at some lenght elsewhere.
