Carex membranopacta Bailey. Big island. 
Carex Bigelovii Torrey. Big island. 
Carex sp. Turnavik island. 
A form differing from C. Bige/ovii in having comparatively shorter nar- 
rower leaves, less sheathing at the base of the stem; rootstocks more 
slender; staminate spikes commonly two (rarely only one) 8—15™" long, 
approximate, acute; pistillate commonly solitary (rarely two), 10™™ distant 
from the staminate (10-15™™ long), acute; perigynia obovoid, obtuse, granu- 
late, completely covered by the black scale. . 
Carex rariflora J. E. Smith. Turnavik. 
Carex saxatilis L. Turnavik. 
- Eriophorum vaginatum L. Turnavik. : 
Eriophorum Scheuchzeri Hoppe. Big island. 
‘Scirpus cespitosus L. Turnavik. 
— Suncoides hyperboreum (R. Br.) Sheldon. Big island. 
Tris Hookeri Penny. Turnavik. 
Salix arctica diplodictya (Traut.) And. Big island. 
_ , Mr. Bebb considered the two species of Dr. Trautvetter (.S. d¢f/odictya and 
S. crassijulisy as confluent. Andersson makes them varieties, and uses 
Trautvetter’s names for them. The characters of our plants certainly cor- 
respond to those given in Trautvetter’s description of S. diplodictya. How- 
tive arrangem 
have not seen Dr. Bell’s plant from Cape Prince of Wales, Hudson strait. 
Lange includes this variety in the Flora Gren/andica and says of it ‘formas 
transitorias inter S. arctica Pall. et S. Grenlandica (And.) Lundstr.” So far 
as we have seen specimens the species are quite distinct. 
Salix Uva-Ursi Pursh. White strait. 
two quite distinct forms were collected: Form a, with depressed stems, 
very short-peduncled aments, and elliptic-obovate very short petioled leaves 
er long by 3-4™™" wide, rounded at the apex and distinctly crenate-serru- 
late. Form 4, with less depressed stems ; peduncles relatively long, bearing 
three to four scattered leaves smaller than the leaves of the sterile shoots, 
aments more loosely flowered ; leaves spatulate, distinctly petioled, 1o-12™™ 
long by 3-5™" wide, very indistinctly serrulate or entire, acute at the apex. 
Salix Grenlandica (And.) Lundstr. Turnavik; Big island; 
_— Baffin’s land. 
Salix herbacea .. Big island.
