FURTHER RECORDS FROM ICELAND. 79
BabiiigtoD, but not admitted by Groenlund in 1881, have since
been verified. They amounted to 132 species, and of these 33
have been gathered. Of the remaining 99 species tliere are from
50 to GO that are not unlikely to be found, looking at their distribution
elsewhere. Those starred are the additions, the others
being merely new localities or corrections, &c.
By the kindness of the Rev. Dr. Walker, who visited the
island last year, I was enabled to look through the plants he
collected, and to include in this list a few additions made by him.
There is one point in which I think the Danish botanists are
hardly fair to those who have gone before. If a plant has been
reported, it seems only right that the old record should be given as
an appendage to the recent one, if even only fi-om the historical
point of view. One instance will suffice : Glaux vutritinm was
given for Leiiarey by Koega in Olafsen og Povelsen's ' Reise
ignenem Island,' and by Baring-Gould and W. Lauder Lindsey
from other three stations. This was afterwards found by Fridriksson
at the same i^lace, and recorded by Groenlund, ' Bot.
Tidssk,' vol. 14, part 4, without the slightest reference to its
having been found there before.

that Babington describes, but gives no name to.

Doubtless an introduced species. It grows in Sweden north to

*'M(dva horealis L. Blonduos, N. Iceland (Fridriksson). Scarcely
a native of Iceland. It occurs in Sweden ; in Norway to 60° 43'
N. lat. ; Finland to 62° N. lat. (doubtfully to G3^).

Doubtless an introduction.
