76 Morten P. Ponsiip. 
A 145. Viscaria alpina (L.) Don. 
Disko: The south coast and the adjacent valleys; here and there, a great 
many habitats known, but not common (P.). 
The north coast of Mellemfjord 69°45’ rare (P.). 
Mainland: Kingigtog 70°10’ (Htz.); Ritenbenk (Bg.); Ata 68° 45P.); at the 
); Jakobshayvn (W. & H.)- 
round the Sydostbugt from several places; Egedesminde (P.); Qeqertarssuatsiag 
68°23’ (P. & E.), the mainland at 68°30’ (P. & E.); Kangerdluarssuk east of Agto 
(E. P.); common in N. Stromfjord. From the last place southward rather common, 
head of Pakitsoq-Fjord (Bg.; P.); (not seen at Eqe (P.) 
especially at some distance from the coast. 
A southern type. North of the area only observed a few times, 
the northmost at about 72°30’. 
In lime-charged soil the colour of the flower is a very intense red; 
a white-flowered variety has been observed at Egedesminde. 
Flowers and in good seasons some of the fruits are ripened: seed- 
lings are found. 
Covered by snow during winter. 
XIX. Portulacaceae. 
A 146. Montia lamprosperma Cuan. 
In moist places, for instance, periodically inundated lake-shores, 
moist spots between bog-mosses and heath-plants; in manured places 
near the houses. 
The distribution insufficiently known; often overlooked because 
of its diminutiveness. 
Disko: The south coast, from several places; no doubt common. 
Mainland: From Ritenbenk down to the Sydostbugt collected from several 
places; no doubt common. 
From the archipelago of Egedesminde recorded as “rare” by Kruuse. In 
N. Stromfjord at Eqaluarssuit 67°36’ (P. & E.); Holsteinsborg (V.). 
To be sure a southern type. The northmost localities hitherto 
known are in the Nordostbugt at about 70°40’ (Vh.). 
Abundantly flowering and fruiting. 
The habitats are covered by snow and often by ice. 
XX. Ranunculaceae. 
A 147. Ranunculus paucistamineus Tauscu. var. eradicatus 
Larst. GELERT (Batrachium confervoides FR.). 
In pools and the shallow parts of lakes. Common round Disko- 
Bay and together with Hippuris the most frequent aquatic plant. There 
are fewer statements from the southern part of the area, but no doubt 
common here as well.
