A survey of the Phytogeography of the Arctic American Archipelago 129 
[Melville Peninsula: between Repulse Bay and Cape Lady Pelly, Rae (Exp.)]; Baffin 
Land: Cumberland Gulf, (SH), Tayloe (1. c), Giese (ex Ambronn, Kiiigua), Exeter 
Fjord, Täylor (KH), Cape Searle, Täylor (KH, NHM), Ponds Bay, Borden (ex 
Macoun, App. Neptune); Melville Island, James C. Ross (NHM), Beechey (KH); 
Ellesmereland: SeaguU Rock in Harbour Fjord, Simmons, Bellot Island in Lady 
Franklin Bay, Hart, Greely. 
Geographic area. Greenland, arctic and subarctic North America, northern 
Siberia, northernmost parts of Europé. 
As 1 have previously pointed out (Flora Ellesin., p. 23) the form from western 
North America (Rocky Mountains and prairie region) is not to be united with the 
true A. alpina, at least it must be looked upon as a very distinct variety. This 
seems also to be the opinion of Macoun (Cat., p. 262). 
198. Senecio palustris, (L.) Hook. 
Cineraria congesta, Brown, Chlor. Melv., Hookee, App. Parry II & III. 
Distribution. Banks Land: Mercy Bay, Miertsching (KH); Victoria Land: 
Minto Inlet and Cambridge Bay, Anderson (KH); King William Land, Klutschak 
(Eskimo, p. 102); [Boothia Felix ?, John Ross (NHM)]; North Somerset: »Regents 
Inlet» (Fury Beach ?), Parry (ex Hooker, App. Parry III); [Melville Penjnsula: 
Igloolik, Parry (NHM, CH), Hooper (LS), Neerlo Nakto (ex Hooker, App. Parry 
II)j; BafEin Land: Upper Savage Islands, J. C. Ross (KH), Port Bowen, Parry (ex 
Hooker, App. Parry III); Melville Island, J. C. Ross (NHM), herb. Trevelyan 
(KH), M'Clintock (KH). 
Geographic area. Arctic and northvvestern North America, northern Siberia, 
northern Europé. 
The distribution of this species is rather curious; in America, where it reaches 
as far northward as Melville Island, it seems generally bound to the coast, ofteu 
appearing on the very shore, and to salt localities in the interiör; a similar habitat 
it seems to prefer in Eurasia unto the Samoyede Land, but farther westward its 
northern horder sinks considerably, and at the same time it rarely appears at the 
coast, but prefers moorland localities and shores of lakes. I may mention also, 
that there is lying in the Kew herbarium a specimen labeled: »E. C. Greenland, 
Capt. Sabine, 1823». Most probably it is a specimen from one of Parry's voyages, 
i- e. from Arctic America, as the plant is nowhere else found in Greenland. 
199. Senecio frigidus, Less. 
Distribution. Banks Land: Bäring Land, MClure (KH), Anderson (ex 
Armstrong, Narrat.); Victoria Land: Minto Inlet, Anderson (KH). 
Geographic area. Western arctic and subarctic North America, arctic 
Siberia, arctic Europé.
