The Flora of Disko Island and Adjacent Coast of West Greenland. 141 



A 249. Veronica fruticans Crantz. (V. saxatilis L. 111. ). 



On similar spots as tlie preceding, but much rarer. 



Disko: South Coast near Godhavn, eO'^lB', several localities (P.), Brede Dal, 

 69°18' (Nygaard!). 



Mainland: Atå, 7()°17', Atanikerdluk, 70°2' (Stein) S. Kangerdluar.ssuk 67" 

 (W. & H.), Præstefjæld near Holsteinsborg, 66°55' (W. & H., P. & E.) and probably 

 in more localities. Lange: Gonspectus gives no special occurrences for that much 

 rarer species. 



A Southern type, common in the southernmost Greenland; the 

 above mentioned localities are the northern limit in West Greenland. 



Flowering late, but rather richly, also fructificating in good seasons. 



Covered by snow during winter, but only occurring where the snow 

 layers disappear early in spring. 



White flowered specimens are common. 



A 250. Bartschia alpina L. 



In herb-mats and thickets. 



Disko: Ranging over the whole southern part of the island, on the east side 

 to 70° and the west to north of Xordfjord, common in the south, scarcer north- 

 wards (P.). 



Mainland: In the interior of Nugssuaq peninsula (P.). From the Waygat 

 coast at 70°16' southwards, common in the districts east of Disko Bay, scarce in 

 the archipelago of Egedesminde, common in the fjords inland from that latitude 

 and gradually becoming commoner towards the southern limit of our area (P.). 



A southern type observed, however, a few times north of our 

 area up to 72°4' (P.). In our area a lowland plant. 



Abundantly flowering and fructificating. Covered by thick layers 

 of snow, but early snowbare in spring. 



A 251. Euphrasia arctica Lange Bot. Tidskr. I. 4. p. 47 



(E. latijolia Pursh Conf. Rosenvinge Medd. om Grl. 15. p. 68. Ro- 

 binson & Fernald: Gray's Manual 7. ed. p. 733). 



In sunny and luxuriant herb-mats and open willow-thickets. Ordi- 

 narily only a few centimetres high and probably often overlooked. 



Disko: South Coast and Disko-fjord rather common, especially near the hot 

 springs. 



Mainland: Kingigtoq, 70°8' (Htz. From Torssukåtak along the eastern side 

 of Disko Bay rather common to Tasiussarssuaq (P.), not observed in the archipelago 

 of Egedesminde (K., P. & E.), common in N. Strømfjord (P. & E.) as well as in the 

 fjords inland from Holsteinsborg (P. &- E.). 



A southern type without southern hmit, north of our area ob- 

 served a few times in the North-East-Bay up to 71°25' (P.), its known 

 northern limit in West Greenland. In our area a lowland plant.
