Ph. dermatodea and Ph. lorea (B o r y) recently have been 

 kept distinct by Kjellman (I.e.). The one, Ph. lorea, accor- 

 ding to Kjellman, has only been found at the west and 

 north coasts of Spitzbergen and the west coast of Novaya 

 Zemlya. The former has a Avide dispersion. 



Also- at the coast of Finmarken two forms of Phyllaria 

 appear. But at present I am unable to ascertain whether 

 these forms are to be regarded as distinct species or, as I 

 am most inclined to think, only little differentiated forms of 

 one and the same species. The one has a proportionally 

 short stipe, linear lanceolate lamina with numerous cryptos- 

 tomata. It attains a length of 2 m and more. I call it f. 

 lanceolata. The following are the measures of some of the 

 larger specimens.

I also have seen a pretty large number of young spe- 

 cimens with a short stipe, linear or lanceolate lamina, closely 

 resembling Ph. lorea Kjellm. L c. t. 24, fig. 1 — 2. The 



row lamina. I did not succeed to get hold of any. It may perhaps 

 have been A. linearis Stromf, or another species not formerly known 

 from Finmarken,
