Habitat. I have failed myself to find this species in the Polar Sea. According 

 to Kleen and Wahlenberg it is litoral or sublitoral in the southern part of the Nor- 

 wegian Polar Sea. In the other parts of the Polar Sea it probably keeps within the 

 sublitoral zone. Kleen has found it with sporocarps at Nordlanden in June, which is 

 a remarkable fact, because farther to the south the plant seem to fruit in winter. 



Geogr. Distrib. It is recorded from the Atlantic as well as the arctic region of 

 the Polar Sea. Its maximum of frequency is in the southern part of the former; in 

 the latter it is certainly rare. The northernmost place where it has been found is on 

 the coast of Spitzbergen. 



Localities: The Norwegian Polar Sea: Nordlanden, common and abundant; the 

 north coast of Norway, Berggren, according to specimens in the herbarium of the 

 Swedish Royal Museum. 



The Greenland Sen: the coast of Spitzbergen ; the exact place is not stated. 



The Murman Sea: Kolgujew Isle and the coast of Novaya Zemlya.
