Babington, 1871, p. 322.—Rostrup, 1887, p. 178.—Bennet, 1890, p. 81.
This species is entered in Babington’s list, loc. cit., on the authority of Solander,
who had seen a specimen in Poulsen’s collection.—E. Rostrup, loc. cit., also mentions
a specimen in Davíðsson’s collection, found at Reykjavík. No doubt the specimen
in question must have been an accidental introduction; it is not naturalized in
Iceland.

Sandkryb. English: Black Salt-
wort, Milkwort.
First recorded by Olafsen &
Povelsen, 1772, loc. cit., from
Leirárey, W. It is very rare, found
with certainty in a few places in
W. only, and (recently) in one
place in N.W. (Fletcher, loc. cit.)
at Brekkuvellir. Two localities in
N. (Eyjafjörður and Miðfjörður)
recorded by Baring-Gould, loc. cit.,
seem doubtful. See fig. 141.
