The Flora of Disko Island and Adjacerit Coast of West Greenland. 81 



Within the area only a lowland plant. 

 Abiindantly flowering and fruiting. 

 Hibernates abimdantly covered by snow. 



J. 158. Anemone Richardsonii Hook. 



In copses. 



(Disko: On the printed labels of J. Vahl recorded from 69'14', the lati- 

 tiide of Godhavn. The specimen does not exist and now the plant is absent 

 here. The record mav be due to a slip of memory on the part of Vahl, but it is 

 also possible that the plant has locally become extinct afterwards. The locality 

 Lyngmarken, from which the most of the rare piants originate, has suffered very 

 much from willow-felling and thus many southern piants have undoubtedly been 

 eradicated.) 



Mainland: S. Kangerdluarssuk 67°5' (Jens.); from various piaces near Hol- 

 steinsborg 66°55' (several coUectors) ; Naujarssuit inQeqertalik Fjord Qd'^ib' (P. & E.). 



A decidod southern type; with the exception of the Holsteins- 

 borg district only known from a few piaces in .S. Isortoq 65°20' — 40'. 

 Abiindantly flowering and fruiting. 

 Hibernates abundantly covered by snow. 



± 159. Coptis trifolia Salisb. 



In herb-mats, willow-copses and vigorous heath. 



Very rare, only in the southmost part of the area. S. Kangerdluarssuk (W. & H.) ; 

 N. Isortoq (Ros.); N. Strømfjord at 67°32' (Sør.); Kangerdluarssuk east of Agto 

 67°58' (E. P.). 



A decided southern type; the last mentioned place represents 

 the north limit. According to Rosenvinge common south of 64°. All 

 the northern localities are in the lowland. 



Our specimens were sterile, and I have also got sterile specimens 

 from Godthaabs-Fjord, probably it only flowers during favourable 

 summers at its north limit. 



Hibernates imder a thick layer of snow. 



XXI. Papaveraceae. 

 j 160. Papaver radicatum Rotih. 



In barren gravelly piaces, new moraine and fell-field, in dried-up 

 river-beds and deltas; less common on open heath or among grass and 

 other piants in manured soil. Common throughout the whole area, in 

 the northern part from the coast to the snow-line, in the southern part 

 preferably in the highland.
