Spitzbergen are from the western and northern coasts, from Ice Sound 
to Seven Island, 13 from the western coast, in lat. 78?—79:5? N., and 
13 from the northern coast, in lat. 79:59-80:5? N. 
With these preliminary remarks I shall proceed, as concisely as pos- 
sible, to notice the Phanerogamie flora of Spitzbergen. The principal 
source of my information has been the rich collections brought home 
by the Spitzbergen Expedition of 1861, now deposited in the Riks 
Museum, and the herbarium of Professor Nordenskiöld, collected in 
Spitzbergen, 1858. The remarks on the habitats, distribution, and time 
of flowering of the plants, are from my own observations made on the 
spot, and from memoranda in the rich herbarium of my friend Dr. 
Goés, which contaius many new species from the western coast. I 
have used the older accounts as little as possible, and then only with 
the greatest precaution. Of the 6 species wanting in these collections, 
Ranunculus glacialis, Eutrema Edwardsii, Empetrum nigrum, and Salix 
reticulata were found only on the most southern coasts of Spitzbergen, 
which were not visited by the Expedition ; Parrya arctica and Hiero- 
chloa pauciflora were found near Hecla Cove, in Parry’s Expedition. 
The localities referred to subsequently are :—
