A siii vey of the Phytogeography of the Arctic American Archipelago i 
(CH), Barrow River, Parry (NHM), Hooper (LS), Igloolik and Winter Island, 
EdwIrds (NHM)]. 
Geographic area. Arctic North America. 
This beautiful little plant seems to be restricted to rather a small area, com- 
prising only the middle part of the arctic coast of the Continent and the southern- 
most islands. There is, indeed, a specimen in the KB (herb. Trevelyan) that is 
very like it, but it is deficient and may belong to O. nigrescens. This species 
certainly not occurs in Melville Island, or it would not have escaped the collectors 
of the material for the Chlor. Melv. But there Brown mentions it only at the end 
as a variety found iu Parry 's second expedition.
