56 Monten P. Porsivo. 
i 87. Carex scirpoidea Micux. 
In mouldy and peaty soil: in vigorous heath, herb-mats, thickets 
and rock-ledges. 
Very common throughout the whole area. 
Widely distributed in Greenland, without southern limit, being 
observed till 72°20’; the north-limit is not known. 
Ascending the hills following the old dense vegetation. 
Abundantly flowering and fruiting. 
Hibernates covered by snow. 
Carex deflexa Horn (C. piluliferae var. AUTT.). 
Recorded from Rode-Bay 69°20’ by Sorensen; probably an error. 
A decided southern type, only found a few times in South Greenland chiefly 
between 60° and 62°; the northmost at 65°25’. 
Vv 88. Carex rupestris ALL. 
On dry heath, in stony soil and on rocks. 
Very common in the northern part of the area; and in the archi- 
pelago of Egedesminde we found it frequently. Recorded from many 
places in the fjords inland from Holsteinsborg. 
A northern type, the distribution of which north of 72°30" is 
not well known; (recorded from Ellesmereland, but scarce (Simmons). 
The southern limit of its continuous distribution is to be settled 
in the tract of Holsteinsborg. South hereof recorded quite isolated 
from Godthaab 64°11" (Sor.). 
Abundantly flowering and fruiting. 
Often snowless during winter. 
89. Carex supina WAHLENB. 
On vigorous heath, sunny gneiss-slopes and the margin of thickets. 
Disko: Diskofjord near Ikineq 69°28’ several times (P.). 
Mainland: Numerous localities between Torssukatak and Sydost-Bugt: 
from here southwards rather common: from the interior of the fjords, thus from 
many places in N. Stromfjord (P. & E.), becoming frequent southwards. 
Widely distributed species, but probably with north-lmit some- 
where in West Greenland: hitherto known to about 73°. 
Abundantly flowering and fruiting. 
Surely covered by snow during winter. 
90. Carex pedata WAHLENB. 
In similar localities and with a similar distribution, perhaps some- 
what scarcer,
