(1895 (II), p. 335), its habitat is snow-covered during winter; 

 the plant is mentioned as common in the interior of the 

 fjords, but absent further eastwards, out towards the open 

 sea. DusEN records practically the same, and he also knows 

 it only from a single habitat in the coast-land outside the 

 fjords (Cape Borlase Warren). A. Cleve considers it to belong 



to the "Gruppe der späte- 

 ren Frühlingspflanzen." In 

 Greenland it is a middle- 

 summer-flowering plant (M. 

 Porsild). 



The Anatomy of the 

 root and stem agrees ex- 

 actly with that of the cor- 

 responding organs in P. 

 Oederi. The parenchyma of 

 the root contained a great 

 abundance of amylodextrin- 

 starch. 



The surface-view of 

 upper and lower epidermis 

 of the leaf is shown in Fig. 

 43, A and 5; the pores of 

 the lateral walls were al- 

 ways found to be rather 

 faint. The transverse sec- 

 tion of the leaf agrees ex- 

 actly with that of P. Oederi. Non-glandular hairs are ab- 

 sent ; in addition to the glandular hairs of the usual Pedicu- 

 laris-tjipe, such forms are also found as are shown in Fig. 

 43, C, D and E; С and D occur scattered, especially on the 

 upper surface of the leaf, and E on the lower surface of the 

 segments, especially along their main vein and lateral veins
