A survey of the Phytogeography of the Arctic American Archipelago 123 
based on some niistake, notwithstandiiig the existence in the NHM of a speciraen 
that should, according to the label, have been collected at Dobbin Bay in northern 
Ellesmereland.

Owing to the confusion of this species with P. lanata Cham. & Schl, it is 
difficult to make out all localities where it is actually found, but I think its area 
will hardly prove to be much larger tiian it is given above. For its relations to 
P. Langsdorfii, Stev., I must refer to my Flora Ellesm. To the above list of 
distribution might perhaps be added as a very doubtful locality Baffin Land: Cape 
Searle, Taylor, but I prefer to exclude it entirely. Taylor's records are, indeed, 
in most cases reliable, and he has undoubtedly had a rather keen eye for looking 
up the flora of the locaHties he visited, but in his conception of the Pedicularis- 
species he has not been happy. Some of his records I have been able to form an 
opinion about from specimens in the London collections, as is to be seen under 
the foUowing species. But as his identifications of the plants of this genus are 
generally wrong, I have not dared to use his statement about the present species, 
the more so, as he records it for Danish Greenland also, where it is certainly 
missing. Nor do I know what he understands by the name of P. Langsdorfii, 
recorded from three places in Baffin Land, as no specimens existed under that 
name in the London herbaria.
