  makes 
  a 
  similar 
  dis- 
  

   position, 
  including 
  C. 
  cryptocarpa 
  and 
  C. 
  hcematolepis 
  

   as 
  mere 
  varieties 
  of 
  C. 
  salina, 
  but 
  he 
  evidently 
  considered 
  

   G. 
  subspathacea 
  as 
  representing 
  something 
  more 
  than 
  a 
  

   variety, 
  since 
  he 
  marked 
  it 
  with 
  an 
  asterisk. 
  A 
  very 
  dif- 
  

   ferent 
  view 
  was 
  held 
  by 
  Drejer, 
  5 
  who 
  separated 
  several 
  

   of 
  these 
  as 
  species 
  distinct 
  from 
  salina, 
  viz. 
  : 
  C. 
  subspa- 
  

   thacea 
  Wormskj. 
  with 
  forma 
  stricla 
  Drej., 
  and 
  f. 
  curvata 
  

   Drej., 
  C. 
  reducta 
  Drej., 
  C. 
  hcematolepis 
  Drej., 
  C. 
  filipend- 
  

   ula 
  Drej. 
  with 
  a 
  variegata, 
  /3 
  litt 
  oralis, 
  and 
  y 
  concolor, 
  C. 
  

   Lyngbyei 
  Hornem., 
  and 
  C. 
  capillipes 
  Drej. 
  At 
  that 
  time 
  

   Drejer 
  knew 
  only 
  C. 
  cryptocarpa 
  from 
  the 
  description, 
  

   and 
  the 
  fact, 
  that 
  his 
  specimens 
  of 
  C. 
  filipendula 
  from 
  

   Greenland 
  showed 
  the 
  perigynia 
  very 
  plainly, 
  and 
  not 
  

   hidden 
  by 
  the 
  squamae 
  as 
  indicated 
  by 
  the 
  name 
  "cryp- 
  

   tocarpa/' 
  made 
  him 
  believe 
  that 
  both 
  were 
  distinct 
  spe- 
  

   cies 
  ; 
  but 
  having 
  sent 
  specimens 
  of 
  C. 
  filipendula 
  to 
  

   Kunze, 
  for 
  comparison, 
  Drejer 
  was 
  informed 
  that 
  the 
  

   species 
  were 
  identical, 
  even 
  if 
  the 
  name 
  was 
  misleading.

   separate
