C. rariflora, Smith, Eng. hot. t. 2516. 



Hab. a & /3. Northern States ! and Arctic America ! 7. 

 Greenland ! and Arctic America ! — The variety rariflora is 

 considered by Smith and Hooker, and perhaps correctly, as a 

 distinct species. The specimen referred by Prof. Dewey to 

 C. mutica of R. Brown, seems to us to be this variety of C. 

 limosa. See p. 398. 



156. C. suBSPATHACEA, WormsMold, fl. Dan. t. 



Hab. Greenland, P7-of. Hornemami ! — Referred by Spren- 

 gel to C. tetanica, to which it has little resemblance.

 journ. ed. 2. p. 36 ; Dewey ! car. I. c. 29. 251. 



Hab. Arctic America ; Fort Vancouver ! — Resembles in 

 many respects C. limosa, var. rariflora.

Hab. British America ! — The fruit is not sufficiently ma- 

 ture for satisfactory determination.

Hab. Unalaschka, Meyer; Sitcha, Bongard ! — The re- 

 ference of C Carltonia to this species made by Prof. Dewey 

 (Sill, journ. 29, p. 252) was a mistake. C. Parryana is the 

 plant intended ; but C. stylosa proves, now that we have the 

 means of comparison, wholly distinct.
