The Flora of Disko Island and Adjacent Coast of West Greeniand. 30 
Vv 33. Arctagrostis latifolia (R. Br.) Grises. 
In bogs and vigorous heath, scarce on gravel in riverbeds. 
A decided northern type, the southmost occurrence of which 
is to be settled within the area. 
Disko: The northland here and there; the southmost locality is on the 
southern side of Nordfjord about 69°55’ (P.). — Harr l. c. p. 304 states the range 
of the species to lie between 69°14’ and $1°51’. The first mentioned latitude 
corresponds to that of Godhayn, but as | have not been able to re-find the easily 
recognizable species here during a stay of 12 years, | am inclined to consider the 
record as erroneous. — Hare © (P.); Nugssuaq, the Interior (P.); and along the 
coast of Waygat; the southmost localities here are Atanikerdluk (Th. Fr.) and Sar- 
qaq about 70° (V.); Eqe, at the edge of the inland ice at a height of 700m _ is the 
southern limit of the species (69°44’). 
Abundantly flowermg and fruiting. 
Covered by snow during winter. 
I 34. Calamogrostis purpurascens R. Br. 
In sandy and gravelly localities in riverbeds and deltas, on rock- 
ledges and in crevices; rare in heath. 
Disko: Rather common on the northland especially on the coast of Waygat 
and in the adjacent valleys as well as in the interior; at Mudderbugt, in the sand- 
stone-domain. Diskofjord: at Ikineq, on gneiss-rocks and gravel. Otherwise not 
observed on the southland (P.). 
Hare @ (P.). 
Mainland: Common in the sandstone-domain of the coast of Nugssuagq (P.), 
and known from numerous localities between Torssukatak and the Sydostbugt 
(P.). South of Disko-Bay it seems to be perceptibly scarcer and mostly to occur 
at some distance from the out-coast. The rapids of Arfersiorfik (K.). N. Stromfjord: 
Sarfarssuag (P. & E.) and the vicinity of the fjord-arm of Ugssuit, common (P.& E.): 
N. Isortogq 70°10’ (V.); Ikert6q Fjord (V.); Itivneq 66°58’ (W. & H., P. & E.); Sar- 
fanguaq 66°55’ (W. & H.); S. Stromfjord 66°35’ (Jens.). 
This species has formerly been included among the southern types 
by me (Medd. om Gronld. 50 p. 386), but | now doubt the correctness 
of this statement. 
South of the territory treated of here it has been found a few times 
in West Greenland down to ca. 61° (in H. H. | have not seen specimens 
from localities south of 64°!), but there is, in fact, nothing strange in 
the occurence a plant of a high-arctic range to the south of its con- 
tinual distribution, for instance on the hills whence they occasionally 
are washed down in the lowland. The southern limit therefore will al- 
ways be less distinct than the northern. 
But according to my observations in the regions around Disko- 
Bay and northwards (made after the publishing of the above menti- 
oned paper) the species occurs more frequently northwards, and on
