This common arctic plant has been brought home from, or at least 
observed at, almost every place visited. My specimens, collected in the 
rich soil of the old Eskimo village of Etah, represent a big, rather 
hairy form, probably the same as the var. Fischerianum in Duranp, 
Enum. pl. Smith S. 
Occurrence. S. Bushnan Island (SurHeRLaND); Cape York (Hart, 
WETHERILL, STEIN); between that point and Cape Dudley Digges (Kang); 
Ivsugigsok (NatHorst), between Cape Dudley Digges and Cape Atholl 
(Kane); Wolstenholme Sound (MeeHan), at Umanak and Saunders Is- 
land (Bate); Inglefield Gulf: Burdin Bay (IncLerretp), Netiulumi (WetTH- 
ERILL), Glacier Valley, Cape Acland, Fan Glacier (WeTHERILL); Carey 
Islands (WeTHERILL); Port Foulke (Hayes); Foulke Fjord (Harr), at 
Etah (Sten, 250, 1462); Rensselaer Bay (Kane); Mary Minturn River 
(Kang). N. Lafayette Bay (Kane); Bessels Bay, Hannah Island, Cape 
Morton (Hart); Hall Land (Bessets); Polaris Bay (Hart); Lockwood 
Island (Lockwoop). — 
Stellaria humifusa, Rotts. 
S. humifusa, Smumons, FI. Ellesm. [S. humifusa, Duranp, Enum. 
pl. Smith S.; Hart, Bot. Br. Pol. Exp.; Naruorst, N. W. Grénl.; Wetu- 
ERILL, List 1894). 
Notwithstanding the fact that Hart records this species from Foulke 
Fjord, I did not find it there. I should think it very probable, how- 
ever, that it grows in the innermost part of the fjord, in front of the 
Brother John’s Glacier, which I could not reach during our short stay. Ac- 
cording to Tu. Hot (Contr. FI. Greenl.) the S. longipes var. Edwardsii of 
Meenan (Contr. Greenl.), should be the present species. I dare not, 
however, refer the locality Verhoeff Nunatak here, as it would be quite 
contrary to the nature of S. humifusa to grow in such a_ locality. 
Mseuan has probably confounded the two species, and the specimen 
seen by Hotm, has been collected in a place not recorded in MegHan’s 
list — perhaps in Danish Greenland. 
Occurrence. S. Ivsugigsok (NaTHorst); Wolstenholme Sound: 
Dalrymple Island (WeTHERIL); -Inglefield Gulf: Northumberland Island 
(Sremn), Netlik (Hayes); Foulke Fjord (Hart).
