[8 Monten P. Ponsitp. 
Disko: The north-eastern coast: Ingnangnagq 70°17' (P.). 
Mainland: Sarqaq about 70° (Bs. P. 
!); Claushavn (Bg.); Christianshaab (Htz 
Orpigssuit (Htz.); Nivag-Bugt 68°32’ (K.); Sofiehavn 68°20’ (BL) 
Besides found a few times north of the area to 71°42’ (P.) 
Though not found south of the area it is no doubt a decided south- 
ern type, overlooked because of its diminutiveness and undoubtedly 
to be found in several localities. 
From all the localities the plant was quite sterile; at the north 
limit it was also found on desiccated soil, but without any trace of 
flowers. Thus it does not seem to have any power of dispersal. 
Hibernates enclosed in ice. 
A 65. Scirpus caespitosus L. (Trichophorum austriacum PALLa.). 
On moist spots in heath and moss-bogs or along the borders of 
small brooks; occurs isolated, but always in great quantities. 
Disko: In several places on the southcoast. 
Mainland: From Torssukatak about 70° southwards from a great many 
localities as well in the inland as near the coast. From the fjords in the southern 
part of the area only from a few places, perhaps owing to the overlooking of the 
plant. We have not observed it neither in N. Stromfjord nor in the fjords inland 
from Holsteinsborg. 
A southern type common south of 64° (Ros.) and north of the 
area quite isolated at 72°27’ (P.). 
Ascending the hills to 4—500 m. 
Abundantly flowering and fruiting. 
Hibernates covered by snow and sometimes by ice. 
| 66. Cobresia Bellardii (ALL.) DeGu. (Elyna spicata ScHRAD. 
Cobresia scirpina \WILLD.). 
On dry rock-ledges, bare spots in heath-vegetation and in gray- 
elly places. 
Disko: The southcoast in the gneiss area and at the coasts of Waygat in the 
sandstone-domain. Hitherto not observed on basalt; always scarce (P.). , 
Mainland: On the coast of Nigssuaq peninsula from the sandstone-domain; 
from the gneiss-domain southwards here and there; the places forming a continu- 
ous area of distribution. In the southern part observed in Godthaab-fjord and 
60°—61°; likely overlooked in the interjacent localities. 
Widely distributed in West Greenland, though only found to about 
71°; but being found, not only on the east coast north of this latitude, 
but also on either side of Smith’s Sound, it is likely to occur on the 
interjacent part of the west coast. 
Abundantly flowering and fruiting. 
Undoubtedly snowless now and then.
