1909. No. 8. VASCULAR PLANTS COLLECTED IN ARCTIC NORTH AMERICA. 43 
somewhat unexpected to find it again on the arctic sea-coast, but I feel 
sure that the identification is correct. 
S. Watson describes (1. c.) the species as resembling A. multifida Por. 
and quotes A. baldensis by Hooker (l. c.) as a synonym. Yet we find 
in HOOKER a description which suits our specimens, but he adds that the 
American plant is »in every particular the same« as the German and 
Piedmontese one; »or if there be any difference worthy of notice, it is 
that the leaves are not so fully expanded at the time of the perfection of 
the flower as in those of the old world«. Upon this statement E. ULBRICH 
(ENGLER, Botan, Jahrb., 37, 1905, p. 244) places A. Drummondii of North 
America as a synonym of the alpine A. baldensis; but I think this is 
hardly correct. 
The plant in question much resembles with regard to the leaves 
A. multifida, as is also mentioned by Warsow, but it is not so hairy as 
this. As to the flowers it is more like A. baldensis to which it is much 
more nearly related. | 
It has a long style (sectio Zriocephalus, subsectio Longistylæ by 
ULBRICH, |. c.) and the sepals are ca. 14—18 mm. long, white and tinged 
with blue outwards (as already pointed out by Hooker). The radical 
leaves have more or less cuneate (not linear) lobes, and their blades are 
nearly glabrous or with few spreading long, woolly hairs on the under 
side. Petioles, involucral leaves and stems are hairy with the same long 
hairs; flower-stalks densely woolly. 
I have seen a specimen of this species from FRANKLIN’s Journey 
named A. baldensis by HOOKER. Also specimens from the Rocky Mountains 
of A. Drummondi have been examined by me. And in both cases I have 
found agreement and also agreement with our specimens from King Point.
