 from the inner part of the great valleys; scarce on the northland and hitherto not 

 found on the north-east coast. 



Hare (P.). 



Mainland: Holsteinsborg several piaces, but not common. From the south- 

 district of Egedesminde rather common. From the archipelago of Egedesminde 

 recorded as "rather common" by Kruuse; according to our opinion rather scarce. 



In the district of Christianshaab and in the tract to the south of that numerous 

 localities. Rare in the district of Jakobshavn; Jakobshavn (V.); Atå (P.); Eqe (P.); 

 from several piaces on the Waygat-coast of Nugssuaq peninsula.

 part oi Nordost-Bugt at Ikerasak; Umånaq and at Igdlorssuir. on Ube- 

 kendt Ejland 7]°]5', this place the north Uniit of the species. 



Lowiand plant, not ascending to any considerable altitude. 



Abundantly flowering and fruiting. 



In the first part of the autumn winter-stander; later on covered 

 by snow and often by ice. Never snowless during winter. 



J. 98. Juncus bulbosus L. (/. siipinus Moench). 



In loose mire at the horders of shallow ponds, very rnre (no doubt 

 often overlooked because of its diminutiveness). 



Mainland: District of Christianshaab: Orpigssuit 68°39' (Htz.) ; district of 

 Egedesminde: the southern side of Sarqardlit 68°37' (P. & E.).

 sterile. 



Hibernates enclosed in ice. 



A 99. Juncus castaneus Sm. 



On moist sand and clay, at the shores of lakes and rivulets, on open 

 spots in bogs, often among halophilous vegetation; rarer among the 

 mosses of bogs and from herb-mats. 



Rather common throughout the vvhole area. From the district of 

 Egedesminde Kruuse states it as "rare", but this only applies to the 

 outmost islets of the archipelago. 



A southern type, north of the area getting scarcer, limited to pia- 

 ces far from the outer coast. The known north limit from the interior 

 at Laksefjord 72°20'. Likewise it seems to become rarer southwards; 

 south of 68" only known at the terminal moraine of Frederikshaabs
