PHANEROGAMIC FLORA OF SPITZBERGEN. 171 
collected on the: western coast further north than lat. 76° N., 55 Spe- 
cies are enumerated, and among these are Draba micropetala and Dryas 
octopetala, thus reducing the number of Spitzbergen plants wanting 
on the western coast of Greenland to only 15 species. 
The plants collected by Scoresby and Sabine on the eastern coast, 
between lat. 70?—76? N., amounting to about 62 species, supply us 
with 4 more of these 15 species, viz. Ranunculus glacialis, R. arc- 
licus — ? R. auricomus, Hook., Polemonium pulchellum, and Glyceria 
angustata. 
We may conclude from this comparison that the flora of the eastern 
coast of Greenland, when better known, will be found to-correspond 
more with the flora of Spitzbergen than that of the western coast. 
The flora of Spitzbergen contains 69 species that are found also in 
northern Scandinavia. Of the remaining 24 not found in Scandinavia, 
5 are found east of the White Sea, in the land of the Samojedes* and 
on Nova Zembla,f and 6 more in the Taimyrland,} lat. 73}°-753° N 
But all the 24 species, excepting Poa Vahliana, Catabrosa vilfoidea, 
and Dupontia psilosantha, are found in the islands of Arctic America. 
The Spitzbergen species not found in Scandinavia are :§— 
**Ranunculusarcticus. | Parrya arctica. ** Alopecurus alpinus. 
*Eutrema Edwardsii. Arenaria Rossii. Hierochloa pauciflora. 
**Braya ear *Stellaria Edwardsii. Glyceria angustata. 
**Draba glacialis Potentilla pulchella. Catabrosa vilfoidea. 
D. pde P. emargina Poa abbreviata. 
**D. pauciflora. y qnd. flagellaris. *Dupontia Fischeri. 
D. arctica. arax,phyma aes *D. psilosantha, 
D. corymbosa. relay pulchellum Festuca brevifolia. 
Mittendorff's ‘ Florula Taimyrensis’ contains 124 species of Phane- 
rogamia collected in the region around the Taimyr river, in lat. 
732°-75° 36’ N.; of these, 53 are found in Spitzbergen. The re- 
maining 40 Spitzbergen plants are chiefly North European and Green- 
land, but some are exclusively North American. 
* Ruprecht’s ‘ Flora Samojedorum. 
T ‘ Bulletin ——— iii. pp. 171-191. Baer enumerates only forty-seven 
pga although he ‘estimates (p. 105) the gen of phanerogamia bei by him 
on Nova Zembla at «em. 90species. 12 of the 47 species are not found in Spitz- 
zs Trautvetter’s * Florula Taimyrensis Phenogama” in Middendorf’s ‘ Sibir. 
Reise,’ vol. i. 
§ A single star is prefixed to the species found in the land of the Samoyedes, and 
two to those known in Taimyrland.
