1898-1002. No. 16.] FLOW. PLANTS AND FERNS OF N.-W. GREENLAND. 95 



As HART, 1. c., reports the species only from Foulke Fjord, I cannot 

 understand why NATHORST, N. W. Gronl., p. 33, and LANGE, Gonsp. Fl. 

 Groenl. II, p. 291, record it also for Polaris Bay, 1 and OSTENFELD, 1. c., 

 p. 78, gives its West Greenland range as 6081. 



Occurrence. S. Ivsugigsok (NATHORST) ; Inglefield Gulf: (Netlik 

 (HAYES)?); Cape Acland, Fan Glacier (WETHERILL). 



Distribution: East and West Greenland, Arctic American Archi- 

 pelago (S. E. part at least), Arctic America, Labrador, Canada, Rocky 

 Mountains, Andes of Chile, Land of the Chukches, Arctic Siberia, New 

 Siberian Islands, Central Asia, Himalaya, Ural, Arctic Russia, Novaja 

 Semlja, Kolguev, Spitsbergen, Northern and Central Europe, Great Bri- 

 tain, Faeroes, Iceland. 



Carex glareosa, WAHLENB. 



C. glareosa, SIMMONS, Fl. Ellesm. 



This is one of the species that I have mentioned in my Prel.'Rep. 

 as new additions to the flora of N. W. Greenland. It grew rather abund- 

 antly within a small area among the rocks of Reindeer Point, and had 

 ripe fruit when collected, Aug. 16, 1898. 



Occurrence. S. Foulke Fjord, Reindeer Point (253). 



Carex incurva, LIGHTF. 



C. incurva, SIMMONS, V\. Ellesm. 



This sedge also is new for N. W. Greenland. I found the low form 

 with arched culms in a gravelly beach, together with Honkenya pe- 

 ploides; and, in another somewhat swampy locality, I found also a form 

 approaching var. erecta, LANG, (1512). 



Occurrence. S. Foulke Fjord, Reindeer Point (228, 1512). 



Carex nardina, FRIES. 



C. nardina, SIMMONS, Fl. Ellesm. [C. nardina, HART, Bot. Br. Pol. 

 Exp.; NATHORST, N. W. Gronl.; WETHERILL, List 1894]. 



In Foulke Fjord this species was rather common in rock-ledges and 

 dry, gravelly plains, as I am inclined to think it is all over the area. 

 Its abundant appearance in Ellesmereland, even in the northernmost 



1 HART, 1. c., p. 9, says about this locality "Cyperaceae appear to be entirely 

 absent".
