PHANEROGAMIC FLORA OF SPITZBERGEN. Tad 
lat. 722-75? N., according to Hooker, has never been met with in Spitz- 
bergen. Kenigia must be therefore excluded.* -What Solander meant by 
Tillea aquatica it is not easy to determine. Perhaps he had Stellaria 
humifusa before him 
Salix herbacea, Sol. and W. J. Hooker, in Parry, is certainly S. polaris, Wbg., 
where Parry collected his specimens, but I never saw S. herbacea. Scoresby, 
Keilhau, Sabine, Vahl and Martins found only S. polaris, Wbg. In 
Solander’s time, S. polaris was not distinguished as a species from S. 
herbacea, L.t 
Juncus campestris, Sol., and Luzula campestris, R. Br., belong, according to 
Brown himself (Suppl. to Append. Parry’s First. Voy. p. 283), to his Zu- 
zula hyperborea, and this is the same as £L. pitis B, Wb g. 
C. heleonastes, Martins, probably C. gine Wbg 
Calamagrostis stricta is given by mft. as from cun Island, not from Spitz- 
rgen, as Lindblom incorrectly sta 
Holeus ipte Smflt., is Dupontia pun 
Poa alpina, Smflt. and Vahl, belongs to P. poe cue according to Vahl's 
own patrit in the Riks Museum, Stockholm - 
P. laxa ?; Hooker and Vail, is either P, cenisia, v. a, Br., or a form of 
P. enit Lindeb., a very variable species in ce P. laxa, 
is not found in Spitzbergen. 
Stellaria ite: (Rich), Hook. in Parry, is S. longipes, = according to Le- 
debour (Fl. Ross.)....$. Edwardsii is referred also o this species by Lede- 
bourand by J. D. Hooker, accor vet to his specimens from Beechy Island, 
Arctic America, in the Riks Museu 
Omitting synonyms, and erroneous and doubtful names, which have 
made the flora of. Spitzbergen unreliable and so useless, there remain only 
67 species hitherto certainly known. To these I am ableto add 26 addi- 
tional species, 5 of which were first found by Torell, Nordenskióld, and 
Quennerstedt, in 1858 ; the remaining 24 were discovered by the expe- 
dition of 1861. The new species are: — Ranunculus hyperboreus, Rottb., 
R. arcticus, Richards (Ht. affinis, v: leiocarpa microcalyx, Trautv 2 
Arabis alpina, L., Draba glacialis, Adams (non Smfit. Spitzb. Fl), D. 
= Kemigia has been. found by Torell on the west coast. See page 146. —En. 
i n the Herbarium of ae British Museum, named by Solander, 
are, as our author UR Stellaria st hg in a young state.—Ep. 
i imens are S. polaris.—
