1898—1902. No. 16.] FLOW. PLANTS AND FERNS OF N.-W. GREENLAND. 59) 
Occurrence. S, Wolstenholme Sound: Saunders Island (Agpa) and 
Umanak (Bate); Cape Acland and Fan Glacier in Inglefield Gulf (Werx- 
ERILL); Foulke Fjord (Hart), in gravelly places near Etah (242). 
Empetraceae. 
Empetrum nigrum, L. 
E. nigrum, Simmons, Fl. Ellesm. [E. nigrum, Duranp, Pl. Kan.; 
Hart, Bot. Br. Pol. Exp.; Weruerity, List 1894]. 
As I have previously (I. c., p. 42) gone into details abouth the North- 
West Greenland Empetrum-form, it is not necessary to reiterate that 
discussion. My specimens from Foulke Fjord decidedly belong to the 
variety purpureum, (Rariy.) DC., as doubtless also do those of Hayes, 
which Duranp, Enum. pl. Smith S., has called HZ. rubrum. The plant 
of Hayes’s collection is reported by Duranp, |. c., p. 95, from the prob- 
lematical ‘“Tessiussak”. The fact that the red-fruited form is nowhere 
found in Danish Greenland, seems to tell against the supposition of 
Matueren, Grinnell Fl., which as I have discussed (p. 14), is for the rest 
supported by several circumstances. The Empetrum specimens may, 
in fact, belong to another collection. In Foulke Fjord the plant grew 
under similar conditions as in Ellesmereland. Ripe fruit was found 
August 11, 1899. 
Occurrence. S. Cape York (WerTHERILL); “Smith Sound” (Kane); 
Foulke Fjord (Harr), near Etah (1500). 
Rosaceae. 
Dryas integrifolia, VAuL. 
D. integrifolia, Simmons, FI. Ellesm. [D. integrifolia, Duranp, Pl. 
Kan. et Enum. pl. Smith S.; Natnorst, N. W. Gronl.; Osrenrep, FI. 
pl. Cape York; D. octopetala (et var. integrifolia), Duranp, |. ¢.; Hart, 
Bot. Br. Pol. Exp.; Mezuan, Contr. Greenl.; Weruerity, List 1894; 
Bessets, Exp. Pol. Amer. et Amer. Nordpol Exp.; NatHorsr, N. W: 
- Gronl.]. 
As I have previously stated (I. c., p. 43—45) all reports about Dryas 
forms from the area here in question, are as far as they have been 
controlled by examination of specimens to be referred to this species. 
No D. octopetala is found there as far as I know, and I feel quite 
justified in transferring to this place the statements about D. octopetala 
made by Duranp in his treatments of the collections of Kane and of 
Haves.
