206 ON THE BOTANY OF THE BRITISH POLAR EXPEDITION. 



Disco, especially at Lyngemarken. I quite agree with W. 

 Wilson and Sir J. Hooker in referring this plant to the genus 

 Potentilla ; it appears to have been separated on account of sup- 

 posed definite stamens, but I observed them to be six, seven, or 

 eight, of tener than five, in number; it has all the habit and other 

 characters of Potentilla; it cannot, however, be called P. pro- 

 cuwbens, since Sibthorp has already appropriated that name for the 

 procumbent rooting form of P. Tormentilla, Sib thorp. 



P. anseriwt, L. (var. (/nenlandica, DC.)

 Foulke Fiord.

Common everywhere, and very variable. Typical P. nivea 

 gives place to P. VahUana, L., and P. pulchella, Br., to the north- 

 ward. In flower July 8, Discovery Bay. Floeberg Beach and Cape

Dist. 1 . . - 5 - 7 - - - - 12 13. Lat. 68° 42' to 82° 27'.

Seems to prefer stony places by running water, especially in 

 the neighbourhood of glaciers, as at Itifdliarsuk Glacier, near 

 Bittenbank; Brother John's Glacier, Foulke Fiord; and the Twin 

 Glacier, Hayes Sound. I did not see it in flower north of Hayes 

 Sound. In the neighbourhood of Discovery Bay it occurred in 

 two streams in small quantities, producing buds, but no flowers. 

 Floeberg Beach (H. W. F.) 



Sea-level to 100 feet at Foulke Fiord.
