50 H. G. SIMMONS. [SEC. ARCT. EXP. FRAM 
This species, principally greenlandic, has curiously enough, never 
been mentioned from N. W. Greenland before I used the name in my 
Prel. Rep., although in a wrong sense, as I had not then subjected my 
Taraxaca to a closer study. In fact, the real T. phymatocarpum is 
not present in my collection from Foulke Fjord, but DantstepT has 
found it hiding under other names in collections from our area. 
Occurrence. S. Ivsugigsok (NaTHorstT); Whale Sound, Netiulumi 
(WeruHeRILL). Hox, in his list of the Stern collection, has used for a plant 
from Northumberland Island the same name (TZ. off. var. lividum) as 
FERNALD in WETHERILL, List 1894; perhaps this statement also may be 
referable to the species here in question.

When I published my first reports of the botany of the expedition, 
I confounded this species with the common Ellesmereland plant, i. e. T. 
hyparcticum; but later on I found that it came near to 7. ceratophorum, 
which was already stated as a Greenland plant, although not mentioned 
from the north-western parts. Dr. Dautstept, however, has founded a 
new species on my material. 
Occurrence. S, [vsugigsok (NatHorst); Foulke Fjord, abundant in 
the gravelly and clayish slopes beneath Etah (198, 1473). Perhaps also 
the 7. phymatocarpum from Etah in Hoim’s list of the Sretn collec- 
tion may be referred here. Mr. Horm hat determined those plants be- 
fore Danisrept’s treatises were published. 
Distribution. Danish West Greenland (known from a single lo- 
cality at 68° 35’). 
Arnica alpina, (L.) Ouin. 
A. alpina, Smnons, Fl. Ellesm. [A. alpina, Meewan, Contr. Greenl.; 
WetseERILL, List 1894]. 
This species was first brought home from “near Smith’s Sound, 
78°” by Kang, but as it was not found by subsequent expeditions, 
Nartuorst enters it in his list (N. W. Grénl.) as doubtful. Later expedi- 
tions have, however, found it in several places.
