Ranunculus Sabinei, R. Br. 
R. Sabinei, Smmons, Fl. Ellesm. [R. Sabine affinis, Duranp, PI. 
Kan.; Kane, Arct. Expl.]. 
As I have previously discussed (I. c. p. 111) the description of the 
plant in Kane’s collection, which Duranp has, with some doubt, refer- 
red to this species, is quite enough to make it certain that his identi- 
fication was right. It seems, however, to be a rare plant in North-West- 
ern Greenland, as it is not found again in the southern parts which 
have been more closely investigated in later years. It may, however, 
have been confounded with R. nivalis or R. pygmaeus. The locality 
mentioned by Duranp seems also to correspond with those of the species 
in Ellesmereland, but not the statement of Kane himself for one of his 
localities, where it is said to be found among Sphagnum. 
Occurrence. S. Inglefield Gulf: Northumberland and Hakluyt 
Islands (Kane); Bedevilled Reach (Kane). 
Ranunculus pygmaeus, WAHLENB. 
R. pygmaeus, Stumons, FI. Ellesm. [&. pygmaeus, Natuorst, N. 
W. Gronl.]. 
This species, which seems to have been totally overlooked by the 
earlier collectors, was first found by Natuorst. In Foulke Fjord it grew 
abundantly and luxuniantly in a mossy depression among the rocks tog- 
ether with Catabrosa algida, Saxifraga rivularis, and others. 
Occurrence. S. Cape York (Stern); Ivsugigsok (NatHorst); Ingle- 
field Gulf: Northumberland Island (Stem); Foulke Fjord (1469). 
fanunculus hyperhoreus, Rorts. 
R. hyperboreus, Simmons, Fl. Ellesm. 
Occurrence. S. Inglefield Gulf: Northumberland Island (Srey). 
Caryophyllaceae. 
Arenaria ciliata, L. 
A. ciliata, Simmons, FI. Ellesm. [A. ciliata, Wetueritt, List 1894}. 
Occurrence. S. Inglefield Gulf: at Fan Glacier (WETHERILL).
