p. 131). The species does, however, grow there, as is shown by the 
specimens brought home by Naruorst and others, and therefore I deem 
it best to enumerate the localities from whence it is reported, even though 
I must take exception against eventual mistakes. 
Occurrence. S. Ivsugigsok (NaTHorst); between Cape York and 
Cape Dudley Digges (Kane); Inglefield Gulf: Northumberland Island 
(Stem); Foulke Fjord: Port Foulke (Hayes). 
Distribution: East and West Greenland, Arctic American Archi- 
pelago, Arctic America, Labrador, Canada, down to the mountains of 
Maine and New Hampshire, (Western America?), (Arctic Siberia?),! 
Altai and other mountains, Arctic Russia, Northern Scandinavia, the 
Alps and other European mountains, mountains of Great Britain, 
Faeroes, Iceland, Jan Mayen.

Durann, |. c., p. 95, reports this plant for Port Foulke, but it is 
omitted in Hayes’s own list (Op. Pol. Sea) of his collection; NatHorst 
consequently had a good reason for excluding it from his list in N. W. 
Grénl., where he says, however, that it might presumably be thought 
that it grew there. As it is found later in Inglefield Gulf, it belongs 
at all events to the flora of our area, and there is hardly any reason 
for excluding the locality of Duranp, if the statements—always doubt- 
ful—from the first american expeditions are to be used at all. More- 
over, T. palustris is not only a common plant in Danish West Green- 
land, but is also spread far northwards on the eastern coast. 
1 Some of the older records are doubtful and ought probably to be transferred 
to S. polaris, Wan.ens.
