Greenl. ; WETHERILL, List 1894; HOOKER, Fl. Bor. Amer. ; BRITTON & 

 BROWN, III. FL; KJELLMAN, Fan. Vestesk. land; LEDEBOUR, Fl. Ross. 



Fig. LINNAEUS, Fl. Lapp., T. 6, f. 1 ; Sv. Bot., T. 481 ; Fl. Dan., T. 966. 



Occurrence. S. Cape York (WETHERILL). 



Distribution. East and West Greenland, Arctic American Archi- 

 pelago, Arctic America, Labrador, mountains of the northern United 

 States, Rocky Mountains, Alaska, Northern Russia, Northern Scandinavia. 



Pyrolaceae. 

 Pyrola rotundifolia, L. var. grandiflora, (RAD.) DC. 



P. rotund, var. grandiflora, SIMMONS, Fl. Ellesm. [P. rotundifolia 

 var. grandiflora, OSTENFELD, Fl. pi. Cape York; P. rot. var. pumila, 

 WETHERILL, List 1894; P. chlorantha, DURAND, PI. Kan.]. 



This plant was first mentioned by DURAND, PI. Kan., as P. chlo- 

 rantha, but he afterwards corrected the name in Enum. PI. Smith S. 

 NATHORST, however, has it as doubtful. No specimens were available 

 and it is only recorded for "Smith Sound Stations" by DURAND; more- 

 over, the specimens of HAYES, who also has it in his list under the 

 same name, are from the problematical "Tessiussak". This induced 

 NATHORST to put a "?" for it in his table (N. W. Gr6nl.). But since 

 the appearance of the last mentioned paper, the plant has been found 

 in several places. 



Occurrence. S. Cape York (WETHERILL); between that point and 

 Cape Dudley Digges (KANE, I Grinnell Exp., p. 143); Umanak and 

 Saunders Island (Agpa) in Wolstenholme Sound (BALLE); Bowdoin Bay 

 in Inglefield Gulf (WETHERILL); Foulke Fjord, near Etah (216). 



Onagraceae. 

 Chamaenerium latifolium, (L.) SWEET. 



Ch. latifolium, SIMMONS, Fl. Ellesm. [Epilobium latifolium, HART, 

 Bot. Br. Pol. Exp.; WETHERILL, List 1894]. 



To judge from the few points within our area from which this spe- 

 cies is known as yet, one would think it to be rather rare there; but 

 probably it will in general flower scarcely, as is also the case in Elles- 

 mereland, and, in its sterile state, it may easily be overlooked by col- 

 ectors who are not trained botanists. In Foulke Fjord I saw only one 

 single flower.
