Juncoides nivale (Laest.) Coville. Camps 2 and 3. 
Our specimens are Luzula arctica of Lange’s Flora Gren/andica, charac-

scape-like stems 12™ high, terminated by a single dark-brown spike, rarely 
with a second peduncled one ; whole plant glabrous; leaves rosulate at the 
base of the stem, flat and broadly subulate, tapering from the 3" wide base 
to the fineness of a hair at the apex, 3 lon
