The Flora of Disko Island and Adjacenl Coast of West Greenland. 87 



Aroiind Disko-Bay also to be found in the lowland. 



Abundantly flowering and fruiting. 



Undoubtedly snowless now and then d uring the winter. 



i 174. Draba crassifolia Grah. 



a 



This insigniiicant species is undoubtedly often overlooked, thus the 

 distribution insufficiantly known. 



Disko: At Godhavn in the lowland as well as on the hills; observed several 

 times. 



Hare O (P.). 



Mainland: Sarqaq (V.); Kangåtsiaq (Sor.); Ikertoq Fjord ca. 66°45' (V.). 



South of the area found at 64°40', north of it till ca. 73°. From East Greenland 

 also known from piaces on the middle of the coast. Nevertheless I am inclined to 

 consider it a northern type, and it is no doubt to be found far northwards. 



Lange Gonspectus p. 38 writes" "annual or biennial hardly peren- 

 nial". Specimens from Godhavn are plainly perennial. 



In sound condition the petals are pale yellow; I have never 

 seen white flowers (Cfr. E. Ekman 1. c. p. 13). 



Flowers and fructificates. 



No doubt normally covered by snow during the winter. 



I 175. Draba nivalis Liljebl. 



On rocks, rarer on gravel. Very common throughout the whole 

 area. 



Widely ranging in Greenland ^^ithout northern or southern limit. 

 From the shore to the snowline. 



Abundantly flowering and fruiting. 



Hibernates, often snowless. 



V 176. Draba fladnizensis Wulf (Incl. Dr. lapponica Wahl, 



Dr. Wahlenbergii Hartm.). 



In all sorts of soil: sand, clay, gravel, rocks, among grasses a. s. o. 

 Very common throughout the whole area. 



Widely ranging in West Greenland, but a northern type with- 

 out north limit, but with a southern limit of continual distribution at 

 about 64°; south hereof only observed once. 



Ascends the hills to the snowline. 



Abundantly flowering and fruiting. 



Often snowless during winter.
