Ph. dermatodea and Ph. lorea (B o r y) recently have been 

 kept distinct by Kjellman (1. c). The one, Ph. lorea, accor- 

 ding to Kjellm an, has only been found at the west and 

 north coasts ot Spitzbergen and the west coast of Novaya 

 Zemlya. The former has a wide dispersion. 



Also at the coast of Finmarken two forms of Phyllaria 



^ 



appear. But at present I am unable to ascertain whether 

 these forms are to be regarded as distinct species or^ as I 

 am most inclined to think, only little differentiated forms of 

 one and the same species. The one has a proportionally 

 short stipe, linear lanceolate laraina with numerous cryptos- 



to mata. 



It attains a length of 2 m and more. 



I call it f. 



lanceolata. The foUowing are the measures of some of the 

 lårger specimens.

I also have seen a pretty large number of young spe- 

 cimens with a short stipe, linear or lanceolate lamina, closely 

 resembling Ph, lorea Kjellm. 1. c. t. 24, fig. 1—2. The
