The Flora of Disko Island and Adjacent Coast of West Greenland. 109 
Mainland: N. Stromfjord, Eqaluarssuit 67°36’ (P. & E.); herefrom not ob- 
served till Godthaabsfjord, and southwards more frequent. 
A decided southern type; the above mentioned places are the 
northern limit. 
Usually flowering and ocasionally fruiting. Forms winter-buds. 
Hibernates abundantly covered by snow and ice. 
A 216. Chamaenerium angustifolium (L.) Spacn. 
(Epil. spicatum Lam.). 
In herb-mats and at the edge of copses. 
Disko: The south coast, near Godhavn, eastwards along the coast in several 
places; at least east of Skansen 69°25’; the inner part of Diskofjord on the northern 
side 69°30’—35’. 
Mainland: Christianshaab 68°45’ (Giesecke); s. 0. Manermiut 68°30’ (K.); 
N. Stromfjord; Tiggaq (Sor.), Eqaluarssuit 67°36’, very scarse (P. & E.); N. Isortoq 
(V.); S. Kangerdluarssuk (W. & H.; Ros.); in the neighbourhood of Holsteinsborg 
and in the fjords from several places, but everywhere scarce. Not common till south 
of 64° (Ros.). 
A southern type; the above mentioned places represent the 
northern limit. Records from Upernivik, by Kane, must be considered 
as improbable. 
Within the area only in the lowland. 
Usually late, but abundantly flowering; but strange to say it is 
nowhere in Greenland observed fruiting, hence totally deprived of 
the power of migration. 
The variety intermedium (Wormsks.) LANGE, as defined by Lancr 
seems to me hardly to deserve the name. | rather suppose that Worm- 
skJOLD has been thinking of a hybrid between Ch. angustifolium and 
latifolium. 
I 217. Chamaenerium latifolium (L.) Spacu. 
In very different kinds of soil, but most vigorously on sand in and 
by water-courses and river-deltas. Here it forms extensive patches, 
visible far away during the flowering season. Also in not too dry heath 
and fell-field. 
Very common throughout the whole area. 
Widely distributed in Greenland with neither northern nor south- 
ern limit, from the coast ascending to the snow-fields. 
Abundantly flowering, and in the lowland often fruiting, but fre- 
quently so late that the capsules usually do not open till the fall of 
snow. Often washed down from the highland by brooks. 
Perhaps sometimes snowless during winter. 
Varies according to the quality of the habitat. The variety steno-
