The Flora of Disko Island and Adjacent Coast of West Greenland. 45 
One of the main-plants of the clay-plains in the interior, from the districts 
of Holsteinsborg to Disko Bay. Besides from some localities on the shores of 
Waygat. 
Probably a southern type in West Greenland. 
Abundantly flowering and fructificating. 
| 57. Puccinellia tenella (Lance) Hotms. hoc loco! 
(Incl. Glyceria Langeana BERL.). 
In localities similar to those of the preceeding species, rarer or 
overlooked because of its diminutiveness. 
No doubt to be found in a great many places when only searched 
for. 
Disko: In several places near Godhavyn (P.). 
Hare © (P.). 
Mainland: From several localities in the Sydostbugt (Htz.; P.); the archi- 
pelago of Egedesminde: Kullen (K.); Kangatsiaq (BI.; k.); Augpilagtoq 68°44’ (K.). 
Abundantly flowering and fruiting. 
Hibernates covered by snow. 
1 58. Festuca ovina L. 
In all sorts of soil from the most barren gravel and sand, in cre- 
vices between boulders and pebbles to heath, vigorous herb-mats, 
thickets and manured places. 
Very common throughout the whole area. 
Being common in the littoral halophilous zone of the coast, it 
ascends the hills to the snow-line. 
Widely distributed in Greenland; if the rather much deviating 
F. brevifolia R. Br. is to be reckoned as a form of F’. ovina the species 
has neither northern nor southern limit. Otherwise the northern limit 
has to be searched for somewhere at the shores of Melville Bay. 
Very much variable, and numerous forms and varieties have been 
described. To be sure most of them are dependent upon the quality of 
the native place. I have not been able to elicit whether hereditary 
constant forms occur too or not. 
Abundantly flowering and fruiting. 
In many of the native places hibernating without cover of snow, 
A 59. Festuca rubra L. var. arenaria Oss. 
On fairly moist sand, for instance, along the shores of rivers and 
lakes; among other Gramineae in heath; at the base of dunes and 
often in manured soil or in thickets.
