A soiithi-ni lyp«', north ol' oiir area only once ohserved at 70°40'. 

 The ranpt' soutliwanls not known to us, as in tlic roconis it was nHina- 

 lily inrorporatcd with var. f^rornlandica. 



Flowers nonually, and t'ruits are developed in lavouralili' piaces. 

 Hesides locally dispersed by the widely creeping slolons. 



Durin«; winler covered by thick lavers of snow and ice, but is un- 

 rovered in the early spring by the action of the sea. 



\Ve are mostly inclined to follow Rydberc in kceping Egedii as 

 a distinct variety or subspecies as we have not found intermediate 

 forms. We only saw the leaves quite glabrous or with few silky hairs, 

 not with a duU felt. In proportion to the small size of the plant the 

 stolons are relalively longer than in var. groenlandica.
