exact application of the Linnaean descriptions relating to members ot 
the genus. The present collections contain specimens of Ooohlearia 
collected in two localities, and to be referred doubtfully to the follow- 
ing species ; 
Ooohlearia Grcenlandica, L. The spreading stems 3-4 inches in 
length ; the central one much shorter : radical and lowest cauline leaves 
on long, slender petioles, ovate, cordate, entire, marcescent ; the mid- 
dle cauline oblong, narrowed at the base to more or less distinct peti- 
oles, entire or nearly so ; the uppermost sessile, often inconspicuously 
auriculate : flowers crowded at the ends of the stems, relatively large : 
the obovate, white petals nearly two lines in length : fruit, when young, 
globose ; at maturity, ovoid ; valves scarcely reticulated. — Cape York, 
N. W. Greenland (No. 189). This plant appears to be a form of C. 
QrcBnlandica, near var. oblongifolia, Lange (Conspect. FI. Groenl. 
35). The stems and petioles, and to some extent the leaves, possess 
a noteworthy viscidity, shown by the clinging of grains of sand, seeds, 
etc. 
Ooohlearia fenestrata, R. Br. Dwarf ; central stem short, erect ; the 
lateral an inch or two long, spreading : leaves small, the radical as in the 
preceding, the cauline narrowly oblong, entire, contracted at the base : 
flowers smaller than in the preceding : capsule ellipsoidal or even some- 
what pointed at apex and base, more or less distinctly reticulated ; sep- 
tum often fenestrate. — Cape Faraday, Ellesmere Land (No. 199). 
Although these forms from their fruiting characters are apparently to be re- 
ferred as above, it may be noted that the relative size of the flowers is 
just opposite that indicated by Professor Lange in the place cited. 
Draba alpina, L. Glacier Valley, north of promontory to the west of 
Robertson’s Bay (No. 191) ; near Cape Acland, Inglefield Gulf (No. 192) ; 
Fan Glacier, Inglefield Gulf (No. 195) ; north side of Jones Sound 
(Nos. 200, 202). 
Draba Fladnizensis, Wulf. Fan Glacier, Inglefield Gulf (Nos. 197, 198); 
near Cape Acland, Inglefield Gulf (No. 201) ; Glacier Valley, north of 
promontory to the west of Robertson’s Bay (No. 204) ; north side of 
Jones Sound (No. 227). 
Draba incana, L. Godthaab (No. 16) ; Netiulume, Whale Sound (No. 
203). 
Arabia alpina, L. Cliff, northwest side of Disco Island (No. 77). 
Raphanus Rapbanistrum, L. Disco (No. 13). Apparently this is the 
first time this common European weed has been collected in Greenland. 
Silene acaulis, L. Abundant, Godthaab (No. 34) ; Cape York (No. 71) ; 
on cliffs, northwest side of Disco Island (No. 83) ; Glacier Valley, north 
of promontory to the west of Robertson’s Bay (No. 107) ; near Cape 
Acland, Inglefield Gulf (No. 129) ; Fan Glacier, Inglefield Gulf (No. 
147). 
Lychnis apctala, L. Near Cape Acland, Inglefield Gulf (No. 131) ; 
Fan Glacier, Inglefield Gulf (No. 134) ; north side of Jones Sound (No. 
159)^
