Geographic area? 
Even if Rydbergs identification, which he is doubtful about himself, should 
be right, this curious grass still stånds as endemic in Ellesmereland.

It is very curious that this grass, so commonly found in Ellesmereland, and 
according to Macoun, Cat., p. 223, also on the Continent, has so very rarely been 
collected by the diftereut travellers. Perhaps, however, the P. Balfomii of Taylob 
Pl Baff p 332 inay beloiig to it; hut 1 dare not, without seeing a specimen, refer 
it here. ' That P. glauca shall sorae time be found to be distributed all over the 
Archipelago, I take for granted.
