Some specimens indeed belong to the var. intermedia, Natu. [have 
it in my Foulke Fjord collection, OsTenFeLp reports it as having been 
brought home by My.ius Ericusen, and it has also been seen and 
collected before Natuorst (N. W. Grénl.) distinguished it from the typ- 
ical form of the species. To this the reports about D. octopetala also 
may in general be referred. It is, however, only a local form produced 
by certain conditions. Besides I have also found the var. canescens, 
Smm., in Foulke Fjord (1888). 
D. integrifolia equally as in Ellesmereland seems also to be a 
very common and widely distributed plant in the adjacent parts of 
Greenland where it reaches even to the most northern part of the 
country. Still I think it is best to give a list of the places where it is 
noted from. 
Occurrence. S.Cape York (Hart, WeTHERILL); Ivsugigsok (Nat- 
Horst); Umanak and Agpa (Saunders Island) in Wolstenholme Sound 
(Batxe); Granville Bay (Iterdlagssuak) (MyLius Ericusen); Inglefield Gulf: 
Northumberland Island (Ste); Netlik (Hayes), Fan Glacier and Cape 
Acland (Weruerit), Verhoef Nunatak (MEEHAN), Robertsons Bay (Wetu- 
ERILL); Foulke Fjord (Hart, Stein, 199, 1497, 1521, 1883); Bedevilled 
Reach, Rensselaer Bay and Mary Minturn River (Kane). N. Bessels Bay 
and Hannah Island (Hart); Polaris Bay (Hart); Lockwood Island 
(Lockwoop). 
Alchemilla vulgaris, L. 
Not having seen any specimens I can, of course, form no opinion 
about the plant, that Duranp, Enum. pl. Smith S., records under this 
name from Netlik. No Alchemilla is found north of Melville Bay by 
any other collector, which makes it also doubtful if the plant in question 
really was found there and not in Danish Greenland. Consequently the 
safest way is to leave it out of consideration until more reliable inform- 
ation about it can be produced. 
Potentilla pulchella, R. Br. 
P. pulchella, Smumons, Fl. Ellesm. 
As is already in some measure shown in my FI. Ellesm., there is 
much difficulty about using the statements of the older authors about 
the arctic Potentillae. As for P. pulchella, this name is to be found 
in the lists of different authors, but it is rather difficult to form any 
opinion about the plants that they have had in view. As none of them 
has been able to discern P. rubricaulis, Lenm., it is always possible or
