72 H. G. SIMMONS. [SEC. ARCT. EXP. FRAM 



Lesquerella, arctica, (WORMSKJ.) WATS. 



L. arctica, SIMMONS, Fl. Ellesm. [L. arctica, WETHERILL, List 1894; 

 Vesicaria arctica, DURAND, PI. Kan. et Enum. pi. Smith S. ; HART, 

 Bot. Br. Pol. Exp. ; MEEHAN, Contr. Greenl.]. 



This plant is not common within the area, probably most spread to 

 the north. I have not seen it there, and it has not previously been 

 found in Foulke Fjord. . 



Occurrence. S. Inglefield Gulf (MEEHAN), Nellik (HAYES), Burdin 

 Bay (STEIN), Fan Glacier (WETHERILL); Mary Minturn River (KANE). 1 

 N. Polaris Bay (HART). 



Cardamine bellidifolia, L. 



C. bellidifolia, SIMMONS, Fl. Ellesm.; OSTENFELD, Plantes N. E. Gronl. 

 [C. bellidifolia, HART, Bot. Br. Pol. Exp.; NATHORST, N. W. Gronl.]. 



Not observed by any other collectors but HART, NATHORST, and 

 myself; but probably overlooked by others because of its small growth. 



Occurrence. S. Ivsugigsok (NATHORST); Foulke Fjord: Reindeer 

 Point (1483, 1530), at the front of the glacier (HART). 



Eutrema, Edwardsii, R. BR. 



E. Edwardsii, SIMMONS, Fl. Ellesm. 



A very rare plant in Greenland, where it is previously found only 

 in two localities, Umanak in Danish Greenland, and Mackenzie Bay on 

 the east coast. I found only a few individuals in the dry bed of a little 

 rivulet on the ledge above Etah. 



Occurrence. S. Foulke Fjord, Etah (1508). 



Cochlearia officinalis, L. var. groenlandica, (L.) GELERT. 



C. officinalis var. groenlandica, SIMMONS, Fl. Ellesm. [C. officina- 

 lis, HART, Bot. Br. Pol. Exp.; C. groenlandica, WETHERILL, List 1894; 

 C. fenestrata, DURAND, PI. Kan.; NATHORST, N. W. Gronl.; C. oblongi- 

 folia, DICKIE, Not. fl. pi., in INGLEFIELD, Summer Search]. 



1 When DURAND. PI. Kan., p. 186, gives the locality where KANE'S specimens are 

 found as "junction of Humboldt and Washington Lands, 81st N. latitude", and says 

 that they were collected in August, he must be mistaken in several respects- 

 Lat. 81 would be about Gape Bryan at the mouth of Bessels Bay, where no 

 collections were made; and these regions were never visited in August but only 

 in the spring by MORTON. KANE himself (Arct. Expl. I, p. 99 and note 24) speaks 

 of the plant in question as found at the mouth of Mary Minturn River.
