 Arenaria peploides var. robusta Fernald, Rhodora, 1 1 : 1 13.> 

 1909 



Fernald (1. c.) points out that the typical form of this species 



occurs on the coastal sands of the boreal regions and in America 



only from Labrador and arctic Alaska. The common form along 



our coast was described by Rafinesque as A. maritimum. 



Fernald's reason for not adopting this as a varietal name for our 



plant is that it is inappropriate as a varietal designation for a plant 



wholly maritime.
