for he mentions this plant from places where it certainly does not grow. 
This view is confirmed by the absence of specimens from the Nargs 
expedition in the London collections. The statement about its occurrence 
in Foulke Fjord must be left out of consideration. 
Bartsia alpina, L. 
B. alpina, Linnagus, Sp. Plant., 1753; Lancs, Consp. Fl. Groenl.;

There exists an old statement that this plant is found in North- 
Western Greenland, but it is one of the doubtful ones from ‘“Tessiussak, 
Sept. 4” in Duranp, Enum. pl. Smith S., and, as previously explained, 
cannot be taken into consideration. Natsorst, N. W. Grénl., therefore 
rightly excludes it, but it has since been found by Werneritt and 
consequently belongs notwithstanding to the flora of this region. 
Occurrence. S. Cape York (WETHERILL). 
Distribution. East and West Greenland, Labrador, Arctic Russia, 
Scandinavia, the Alps and Pyrenees, Great Britain, Faeroes, Iceland. 
Borraginaceae.

I have not seen this species which is not found elsewhere further 
northward than about 72°, but I enter it on the authority of WETHERILL. 
Occurrence. S. Cape York (WeTHERILL). 
Distribution. West Greenland, Arctic America, Labrador, down to 
Newfoundland and Massachusetts, from Oregon to Alaska, islands of the 
Bering Sea, Land of the Chukches, down to Kamshatka and the Amur 
Territory, Arctic Russia, Scandinavia, Denmark, Great Britain, Faeroes, 
Iceland.
