As Simmons (1904, 1. c.j had proved that Taylor's records of 

 A. Rossii from West Greenland were improbable, it was a find of 

 great phyto-geographical importance when the Danmark Expedition 

 brought home a specimen of this species from N. E. Greenland, thus 

 giving the first certain record of it as a Greenland plant. 



The small bits collected are sterile (see fig. 1), but by comparison 

 with Ellesmere Land specimens not the slightest doubt as to its 

 identification remains.
