PHANEROGAMIC FLORA OF SPITZBERGEN. 141 
high, with smooth stems and branchlets. The flower-stalks are seldom 
higher than 2 inches, and the leaves, compared with the other varieties, 
are very small. On the north coast this is the most abundant variety. 
31. Arenaria ciliata, L., Ledeb.—Very rare ; hitherto found only on 
the west coast, at King's Bay and Ice Sound.— This differs from the 
plant of Russian Lappmark in having larger flowers. 
32. A. Rossii, R. Br. in Parry.—Very rare; coming into flower at 
Augusti Bay, 4th August, and at Lomme Bay. 
- 83. Ammadenia peploides, (L.), Gm.; Arenaria peploides, L., Whg., 
Hook., DC.; Honekeneya peploides (Ehrh.), Ledeb. ; Halianthus pe- 
ploides, Fr., Hartm.—On the south-west, at Ice Sound, Nordenskiöld, 
1858. The specimens are prostrate, from 3—4 inches high, and in the 
form of the leaves are near Hartman's var. oblongifolia. 
34. Alsine biflora, L.5 Arenaria Scandinavica, Sprg. —On the west 
coast, up to Magdalena Bay, not rare. In flower at Cross Bay, 31st 
July ; Magdalena Bay, King's Bay, and Iee Sound, Nordenskidld. 
35. 4. rubella, Whg.; Arenaria quadrivalvis, R. Br.; 4. verna, 
var. 6. glacialis, Ledeb. Fl. Ross. i. 350; 4. arctica, Smfit. !—As far 
as Brandywine Bay, very general, both on the north and west, and at 
Hinlopen Straits. In flower on the north-east, lat, 80?, 7th July, 
and at Wide Bay early in July, and. afterwards in flower and fruit at 
Lomme Bay, Augusti Bay, Cross Bay, Ice Sound, and on the southern 
part of Hinlopen Straits. 
36. Sagina nivalis, (Lindbl.), Fr. Herb. Norm. Fasc. xii. n. 51; S. 
intermedia, Fenzl, in Rupr. Flor. Samojed. p. 25 ; Arenaria cespitosa, 
J. Vahl, Flor. Dan. fig. 2289; Spergula saginoides, Vahl, Ch. Martins, 
and Hooker.—Very sparingly on the west and north; on the north- 
east, lat. 80°, at Treurenberg Bay, Wide Bay, Ice Sound, and Bellsund, 
Nordenskiöld. 
Spergula saginoides, Sw., which is quoted by Hooker, Vahl, and Ch. 
Martins, for Spitzbergen, no doubt belongs to this species.

Reaches the snow-line. In flower on the north-east, lat. 80°, 7th July. 
Extremely variable in the form of the leaves. In Regel and Tiling’s 
* Florula Ajanensis," published in the Nouv. Mém. de la Soc. Imp. 
des Naturalistes de Moscou, vol. xi. p. 81, a variety longifolia of-
