1898-1902. No. 16.] FLOW. PLANTS AND FERNS OF N.-W. GREENLAND. 55 



Plumbaginaceae. 

 Statice maritime, MILL. var. sibirica, (Turcz.) SIMM. 



St. maritima var. sibirica, SIMMONS, Fl. Ellesm. [Armeria vulga- 

 ris, WETHERILL, List 1894; A. vulg. var. labradorica, DURAND, Enum. 

 pi. Smith S.]. 



This plant was excluded from the flora of North- Western Green- 

 land by NATHORST, N. W. Gronl., because he thought it rather improb- 

 able that it should grow so far north, and as there was only the 

 doubtful statement of DURAND, Enum. pi. Smith S., to prove that it had 

 been found there. But since that time it has been collected by WETH- 

 ERILL in several places, and moreover I have myself found it in Elles- 

 mereland. Consequently there seems no cause for the exclusion of the 

 locality of DURAND, "Netlik", which lies very near one of the localities 

 of WETHERILL. 



I have not seen the latter's specimens, but I think it must be taken 

 for granted that the plant of North- Western Greenland is the same as 

 that in Ellesmereland, North-Eastern Greenland and the Northern Danish 

 colonial districts. Consequently I have set the name used by WETHER- 

 ILL as a synonym, as well as that of DURAND, which in HAYES'S own 

 list, Op. Pol. Sea, p. 399, is altered to A. labradorica. But, as I have 

 discussed it in Fl. Ellesm., the real A. labradorica is not found in 

 Greenland. 



Occurrence. S. Cape York (WETHERILL); Whale Sound; Burdin 

 Bay (STEIN), Netiulumi (WETHERILL), Netlik (HAYES); Cape Acland and 

 Fan Glacier in Inglefield Gulf (WETHERILL). 



Dmpensiaceae. 

 Diapensia, lapponica, L. 



D. lapponica, SIMMONS, Fl. Ellesm.; WETHERILL, List 1894. 



Here, as in some other cases in the first part of my Fl. Ellesm., 

 the localities recorded by WETHERILL have been overlooked and his 

 paper not quoted in the synonymic as it should have been. The north- 

 ern limit of this species will thus be altered from 74 18' to about 76. 

 It is for this also that I have given a reference to his work in I he 

 synonymic which as to the rest is to be found in Fl. Ellesm. 



Occurrence. S. Cape York (WETHERILL).
