The Flora of Disko Island and Adjacent Coast of West Greenland. 59 
Disko: Locally, but from many localities on the south coast, the fjords and 
from the inner part of the great valleys; scarce on the northland and hitherto not 
found on the north-east coast. 
Hare 9 (P.). 
Mainland: Holsteinsborg several places, but not common. From the south- 
district of Egedesminde rather common. From the archipelago of Egedesminde 
recorded as “rather common” by Kruvse; according to our opinion rather scarce. 
In the district of Christianshaab and in the tract to the south of that numerous 
localities. Rare in the district of Jakobshayn; Jakobshavn (V.); Ata (P.); Eqe (P.); 
from several places on the Waygat-coast of Nigssuaq peninsula. 
A southern type, north of the area only recorded from the inner 
part of Nordost-Bugt at Ikerasak; Umanaq and at [gdlorssuit on Ube- 
kendt Ejland 71°15’, this place the north limit of the species. 
Lowland plant, not ascending to any considerable altitude. 
Abundantly flowering and fruiting. 
In the first part of the autumn winter-stander; later on covered 
by snow and often by ice. Never snowless during winter. 
1 98. Juncus bulbosus L. (J. supinus MoENcH). 
In loose mire at the borders of shallow ponds, very rare (no doubt 
often overlooked because of its diminutiveness). 
Mainland: District of Christianshaab: Orpigssuit 68°39’ (Htz.); district of 
Egedesminde: the southern side of Sarqardlit 68°37’ (P. & E.). 
A southern type; according to Genierr (Ostenfeld: FI. Arctica). 
found besides at 60°55’. 
The three localities near the coast, the plants small and quite 
sterile. 
Hibernates enclosed in ice. 
A 99. Juncus castaneus Sm. 
On moist sand and clay, at the shores of lakes and rivulets, on open 
spots in bogs, often among halophilous vegetation; rarer among the 
mosses of bogs and from herb-mats. 
Rather common throughout the whole area. From the district of 
Egedesminde Kruuse states it as “rare”, but this only applies to the 
outmost islets of the archipelago. 
A southern type, north of the area getting scarcer, limited to pla- 
ces far from the outer coast. The known north limit from the interior 
at Laksefjord 72°20’. Likewise it seems to become rarer southwards; 
south of 63° only known at the terminal moraine of Frederikshaabs 
Isblink 62°30’; probably alpine or descended here. 
Abundantly flowering and fruiting.
