In most localities the var. uniflora, (R. Br.) Simm., is found, but other forms 
appear also within the area here in question. Among them is the subsp. exaratoides, 
described in my Flora Ellesm. It is indeed rather well distinguished from the 
main species, and I think many taxonomists would look upon it as a separate 
species, but here, of course, I cannot keep it separated from S. groenlandica. This 
species lies in the NHM also from James C. Ross' expedition in 1848—49, but it 
is impossible to make out if the specimen is collected in North Somerset or in 
Baffin Land. A specimen in the KH is inscribed »N. W. of Cape Cardby, Pullen 
1852». Most probably this locahty, which I have been unable to find in any map, 
is situated somewhere in North Devon.
