Taxon:	Lamiaceae: Thymus praecox subsp. arcticus (Durand) Jalas det. Christopher Donald Pigott 1951 Thymus serpyllum L. em. Mill ? The differentiation of these plants is extremely difficult. The specimens on sheet I are clearly T. drucei yet closely resemble these plants. Cytological study would be very interesting, as this is an area from which Th. serpyllum sens. str. was previously considered as wholly absent.
