As appears from the long list of distribution the arctic poppy is a common 
plant all over the Archipelago, and yet there are specimens in the herbaria, not 
quoted because no locality was indicated, so for instance one from J. C. Ross' 
expedition in 1848—49, perhaps from Port Leopold. It is a very variable plant 
also. and a great many different forms may be discerned. Fedde, Papav., p. 376— 
379,' who looks upon it as a subspeeies of P. nndicaule, L., also has names for 
more than half a dozen, but he has had the good taste not to let them stånd for 
more than varieties.
