Tilt" Flora of Disko Island and Adjacent Coast of West Greenland. 85 



A decided northern type; the-above-mentioned localities repre- 

 sent the south-limit of the species. 



Abiindantly flowering and frniting. 



No (loid^t often snowless dviring winter. 



I 170. Cochlearia officinalis J.. 



In Bih. t. K. S. Vel. Ak. Handl. Bd. 26, Afd. JJl, No. ], p. 34 

 G. Andersson and H. Hesselman have published a few short diagnoses 

 and figures by the late O. Gelert of the forms of Cochlearia as far as 

 they vere known at his time from arctie regions. Hence it is iisually 

 easy to refer a specimen to one of the three forms acknowledged by 

 Gelert: 



|3, groenlandica (li.) Gel. 



y. oblongifolia (D. C.) Gel. 



b. arctica (Schlecht.) Gel. 



But as Gelert did not succeed in completing the revision before 

 his death, and as he unfortunately did not leave any list of syno- 

 nyms of the forms known from Greenland, a satisfactory distribution 

 cannot yet be given. 



Cochlearia officinaiis is growing near the shore, often among other 

 plajits and in manured soil. 



Very common throughout the whole area. 



Abundantly flowering and frniting. 



Hibernates covered by snow and ice-foot. 



A 171. Draba incana L. 



In herb-mats. 



Disko: Oaly ohserved once at Narssaq at Waygat 6*J°50' (P.). 



Malnland: From the vicinitiy of Disko-Bay, very rare: Sarqaq aboul 70° 

 (V.): Tasiussarssuaq (Bg. ; Bl.) and southwards perhaps less rare; nevertheless we 

 did not find it in the fjords ol' the Egedesminde district. In the southmost part 

 of Greenland very common (Rosenviivge). 



A decided southern type, the mentioned piaces represent the 

 north limit in Greenland. 



Recorded from aboiU 79" by Wetherill, but 1 should consider 

 this a confusion with Dr. arctica, (Cfr. Porsit^d: Medd. om Grld. 47, 

 p. 244). 



Within the area a lowland plant. 



In the flora the plant is usually given as biennial; but in "Flora 

 V. Deutschland und Fennoskandinavien sowie von Island und Spitz- 

 bergen" F. Hermann very correctly remarks that new rosettes often
