D. fladnizensis, Simmons, Fl. Ellesm.; Ostenretp, Plantes N. E. 
Gronl. [D. fladnizensis, WetueRiLt, List 1894; D. Wahlenbergii, Nav- 
uorst, N. W. Gronl.; D. rupestris, Duranp et Hart, ex p.?]. 
Not one single earlier author has mentioned this species, although 
it is very probable that some of the localities recorded for D. rupestris 
may really belong to it. This, however cannot to be decided and conse- 
quently I can give only a few in the southern part of our area. 
Occurrence. S. Ivsugigsok (NarHorst); Inglefield Gulf: North- 
umberland Island (Sretn), Fan Glacier, Cape Acland, and Glacier Valley 
at Cape Robertson (WeETHERILL); Foulke Fjord, in several places (Srety, 
206, 218, 1484, 4181). 
Draba subcapitata, Simm. 
As I did not myself find this species at Foulke Fjord, and as | 
have seen no indisputable specimens of it from the area, I can not assert 
that it is to be found there; but I think that some badly preserved 
specimens which I have seen belong to it, and, further, some statements 
in literature seem to indicate that it has been found by other collectors. 
I should be inclined to refer to it the D. Wahlenbergii var. brachycarpa 
of Naruorst, found at Ivsugigsok, but the specimen I have seen in the 
Stockholm collection is not enough to justify any decided opinion. The 
description of the varieties corymbosa and micropetala, which Duranp 
(Pl. Kan., p. 187) gives under D. alpina, of plants collected by Kane 
at Bedevilled Reach and Rensselaer Harbour also seem to indicate that 
hardly any other species can be meant. Most authors, however, have 
treated their Drabae in such a manner, that it is impossible, without 
having the material at my disposal for inspection, to form any opinion’ 
about the plants that hide under the different names. There is especi- 
ally the name D. corymbosa, which is used to cover the most diverse 
things which the authors have not been able to classify. Several state 
ments I have necessarily been obliged to leave entirely out of consi- 
deration.

This species seems to be rather rare within the area as it is only 
recorded by one of the later authors; it may of course, however.
