80 Monten P. Porsitp. 
Common throughout the whole area though often absent or locally scarce, 
for instance, the coast-region of N. W. Disko, but oceurring in great quantities in 
the great valleys at the head of Nordfjord. North of the area common inland 
from the outer-coast at least to the fjords at 72°32’; here it occurs in such quantities 
that the north limit must lie farther northwards (P.). South of the area still common 
in the fjords inland from Holsteinsborg (P. & E.). But south hereof only once ob- 
served at 65°, and a few times in the southern part of the Godthaabs-Fjord at about 
64°8". 
Not known from East Greenland (nor from Iceland)! 
(Compare with this its interesting distribution in Fenno-Scan- 
dinavia: A. Hreintze Bot. Not. 1914, p. 181 ff.). 
Flowers late in the summer and is usually setting fruit even at 
the northmost habitats. The fruit-stalks project above the first snow- 
cover. 
All the stalks and roots are deeply buried in moss, only the leaves 
and flowers projecting above the surface. 
Abundantly covered by snow during winter.
