The Flora of Disko Island and Adjacent Coast of West Greenland. 151 



The distribution of this species is still very imperfectly known, 

 hitherto not recorded from the southmost parts of Greenland. 

 Abundantly flowering and apogamically fructificating. 

 Covered by snow during winter. 



i 274. Antennaria alpina (L.) Gaertn., 



Porsild 1. c. p. 269. fig. 3. 



In herb-mats, in the lowland often where snow lasts long, also in 

 luxuriant heath or in open thickets, seldom on fresh moraines. 



Disko: South coast, the fjords, the west coast and valleys leading into the 

 interior common, on the northern part of theWaygat coast scarce (P.). Hare 0. (P.). 



Mainland: Rather common throughout the whole area, becoming more 

 common southwards (P. & E.). 



A widely distributed species without southern limit. The nor- 

 thern limit is not known, but may be north of 76°, 



Ranging, from the shore as far up as dense vegetation occurs, but 

 on the latitude of Disko principally restricted to favourable situations. 



Abundantly flowering and apogamically fructificating. 



Probably always covered by snow during winter. 



/\ 275. Gnaphalium supinum L. 



In herb-mats, undoubtedly often overlooked because of its dimi- 

 nutiveness. 



Disko: South coast near Godhavn, 69°15' (several collectors); Tuaparssuit 

 (P.); Mudderbugt 69°15' (Htz.). 



Mainland: Majorqarssuatsiaq, 70°15' (Bg.); Ritenbenk and Kangeq, 69°45' 

 (Bg.); Holsteinsborg, 66°55' (V.). 



A southern type, without southern limit; the above mentioned 

 localities are the northern limit. 



In our area a lowland plant. 



Abundantly flowering and fructificating. 



Covered by thick layers of snow during winter. 



The specimens from Disko belong to the var. subacaule Wahl, 

 emend. Braun-Blanquet Vierteljahrschr. Naturf. Ges. Ziirich. 62. 1917. 

 p. 617. 



/y 276. Gnaphalium norvegicum Gunn. 



In luxuriant herb-mats and willow-thickets. 



Disko: South coast, rather common (P.); Diskofjord, not uncommon, espe- 

 cially on the sunny sides and in the interior (P.); Mellemfjord, at Ikorfarssuit and 

 Sarqardlit silardlit, 69°46' (P.).
