seems to be widely distributed, nnd its appearance in VictoriM Land is by no nieiuiK 
astounding, but it is, indeed, rather curious tbat the only spocirnens of Ani)Krson's 
collection should happen to belong to tliis and not to C. alpinum wliich is so 
commoidy distributed all over the Arctic Islands.

OsTENFELu who Ims lu detail discussed the place of tliis plant and givtui it 
rank as a species (Gjöa Exp., p. 11) spoaks of its occurrence in King William Land 
as stränge, its principal range being in Eurasia and no records existing frotn the 
Continental parts of America but for a single one from Kotzebue Sound in Alaska. 
Now tho ga{) in the area can be, in some measure, filled u{), as 1 have seen speci- 
mens in the London collections as well from the arctic coast of tbe Continent as 
from the Rockv Mountains region. Tbe occurrence in Melville Island now stånds 
more isolated than that in King William Land, but it may perhaps some time be 
connected with tlie continental range over Banks and Victoria Lands. I tbink my 
idontilication of tlie small fragments in the NHM and LS collections is right and, 
moreovcr, 1 am inclined to tbink that the C. alpinum var. pulvinntum of Hknnkssey, 
App! Arctic, p. 513, frotn Winter Harbour may be this species. 1 even liave begun 
to doubt if my f. pulvinatum (Flora EUesm , p. 122) could not partly belong to C. 
ReyelU, a question tliat is, however,impossiblc to solve as 1 did never get tbat form 
with flowers.

The american range of this species certainly is still very imperfectly known ; 
besides my own specimens fron. eastern EUesmereland I have only seen a single 
one from Ross second voyage.
