GALIUM BRANDEGEEI GRAY. 
A very tiny species of Galium was first found in Greenland by 
J. VAHL, at Julianehaab, 61° N., and Godthaab, 64°10’ N. HORNEMANN 
identified it as G. uliginosum in Mk. Pl. vol. 2, p. 128, from which work 
it was taken over in Hooker’s, “Outlines of the distribution of Arctic 
plants”, 1861, in spite of the fact that VAHL had identified and distributed 
it with printed labels under the name of G. palustre. When Jon. LANGE, 
1857, published a list of Greenland plants in the appendix to Rınk’s 
Gronland, vol. II, he called it G. palustre, v. minus, the varietal name, 
only as a “nomen nudum’. In his “Conspectus’’, from 1880, he adds, 
p- 92, the diagnosis: 
2—3 pollicare, foliis obovato-lanceolatis, obtusis, minutis (5—6 mm. longis) ; 
cyma depauperata, saepe ad florem unicum reducta. Habitus fere G. trifidi L., 
quod tamen pedicellis capillaribus, corollis trifidis etc. distinguitur. 
Later, the small Galium has been found and published with LANGE's 
name from Igaliko, 61° N., (BERLIN); from Sydpröven, 60°26’ N., 
(Hartz); Tunugdliarfik Qingua, 61°15’ N., (Rosenvince). The latter 
author has also seen specimens taken by J. VAHL at Kapisilik, 64°20’ N. 
And lastly, and somewhat unexpectedly, it was stated by KRUUSE to 
be found on the East Coast, at Tasiussaq, 65°37’ N. 
During the winter of 1924—25, A. E. PorsıLp was preparing him-
