amer. p. 152. p.p. (non Pursh).”” SEEMANN’s plants came from 
western Eskimaux-Land (Northwestern Alaska from Norton Sound 
to Point Barrow), while HooKER’s specimens to which ANDERSSON 
alludes were collected in Labrador. The Rocky Mountain speci- 
mens mentioned by HooKER are not included, as they had already 
been described by ANDERSSON as S. subcordata (S. arctica var. sub- 
cordata Schn., see my first paper). ANDERSSON’s main description 
of S. glaucops fits best Seemann’s specimens, and such forms as 
S. villosa acutifolia Hook., of which ANDERSSON made no mention 
at all either in 1858 or in 1868. According to the rules of nomen- 
clature the name S. glaucops has to be applied to the S. glauca 
of Alaska, the Yukon, and the Mackenzie district if further 
investigations should prove that these forms can be regarded as a 
distinct species. Unfortunately, this name has been used by 
RypBerG (1899) and Batt (1909) to designate a more southern 
form of the Rockies, for which I use the name S. pseudolapponum 
v. Seem. (see later). When Batt first treated this form in 1899 
(Trans. Acad. Sci. St. Louis 9:88) he expressly said: “Our Rocky 
Mt. form was included under S. glauca villosa by Mr. BEBB, but it 
is certainly not the S. villosa Don described by HOOKER (Fl. Bor.- 
Am. 2:144) and later published by ANDERSSON as S. glauca villosa 
(Sal. Bor.-Am. 22). That had long leaves and thick aments 2-3 
inches long, being thus more closely related to the European 
S. glauca,” and (J.c. 89) Batt designates S. glauca var. villosa And. 
(S. villosa Barr., S. glaucops And.) as a form of which “full discus- 
sion must be deferred until more abundant material is accessible.” 
He adds that “HaNseEn’s no. 800, Fl. Sequoia Reg., 1892, is a plant 
which nearly answers the original description,’ but in my opinion 
HANSEN’s specimen differs widely from it, and belongs to S. cal?- 
fornica Bebb, a fact suggested by BALL himself. 
According to RYDBERG (1899), S. glauca is “apparently rare in 
Am«rica, and probably confined to the extreme northeast portion.” 
Nevertheless, he cites, besides specimens from western Greenland 
and Labrador, “Alaska: Nurkagak, 1881. McKay,” meaning 
Nushagak in the Bristol Bay. This specimen is referred by 
Covitte to S. glauca. Furthermore, in 1901, RypBERG described 
a S. Seemannii, the type of which had been ‘collected at Dawson
