1898—1902. No. 16.] FLOW. PLANTS AND FERNS OF N.-W. GREENLAND. 55 
Plumbaginaceae. 
Statice maritima, Muu. var. stbirica, (Turez.) Sim. 
St. maritima var. sibirica, Stumons, FI. Ellesm. [Armeria vulga- 
ris, WETHERILL, List 1894; A. vulg. var. labradorica, Duranp, Enum. 
pl. Smith S.]. 
This plant was excluded from the flora of North-Western Green- 
land by Naruorst, N. W. Gronl., because he thought it rather improb- 
able that it should grow so far north, and as there was only the 
doubtful statement of Duranp, Enum. pl. Smith S., to prove that it had 
been found there. But since that time it has been collected by Weru- 
ERILL in several places, and moreover I have myself found it in Elles- 
mereland. Consequently there seems no cause for the exclusion of the 
locality of Duranp, “Netlik”, which lies very near one of the localities 
of WETHERILL. 
I have not seen the latter’s specimens, but I think it must be taken 
for granted that the plant of North-Western Greenland is the same as 
that in Ellesmereland, North-Eastern Greenland and the Northern Danish 
colonial districts. Consequently I have set the name used by WerHER- — 
ILL as a synonym, as well as that of Duranp, which in Hayes’s own 
list, Op. Pol. Sea, p. 399, is altered to A. labradorica. But, as I have 
discussed it in Fl. Ellesm., the real A. labradorica is not found in 
Greenland. 
— Occurrence. S. Cape York (WeTHERILL); Whale Sound; Burdin 
Bay (Srery), Netiulumi (Weruerity), Netlik (Hayes); Cape Acland and 
Fan Glacier in Inglefield Gulf (WeTHERILL). 
Diapensiaceae. 
Diapensia lapponica, L. 
D. lapponica, Simons, Fl. Ellesm.; Werueriy, List 1894. 
Here, as in some other cases in the first part of my Fl. Ellesm., 
the localities recorded by Werxermt have been overlooked and his 
paper not quoted in the synonymic as it should have been. The north- 
ern limit of this species will thus be altered from 74° 18’ to about 76°. 
It is for this also that I have given a reference to his work in the 
synonymic which as to the rest is to be found in FI. Ellesm. 
Occurrence. S. Cape York (WETHERILL).
