it must, in sterile state, be quite impossible to separate from the 

 analogous form of C. Edmondstonii. In Greenland it is found, at 

 least at Hold with Hope, in the east coast. I have seen the specimens 

 of which Hartz (1. c, p. 327) speaks as var. caespitosum, Malmgr. 

 DusEN, Gefasspfl. Ostgronl., p. 22, and Kruuse, List E. Greenl., p. 159, 

 refer it as a variety to C. Edmondstonii, but as the former at least 

 speaks only of sterile individuals, and as the habitat agrees with that 

 of the f. pulvinata, I cannot hesitate to refer their statements to it.
