The Flora of Disko Island and Adjacent Coast of West Greenland. 143 
Occurring from the coast to at least 700 m. 
Abundantly flowering and fructificating. 
Covered by snow during winter. 
Vv 255. Pedicularis hirsuta L. 
On heath, gravelly barrens, seldom on open spots in bogs. 
Very common throughout the whole area. 
Widely distributed northern type, without northern limit, on 
the west coast not found S. of 64°. 
Ranging from the sea shore up as far as ice-free land is found. 
Abundantly flowering and fructificating. 
Often without cover of snow during winter. The flowers are pinkish, 
often whitish. 
V 256. Pedicularis lanata (Witi_p.) CHam. & ScHLECHT. 
In poor and open heath, often in gravelly barrens far away from 
other plants. When growing amongst other plants, however, the roots 
also of this species are provided with haustoria. 
Very common in the northern part of the area, becoming scarcer 
south of Disko Bay. In N. Stromfjord it is restricted to alpine stations 
and northern slopes and rather scarce (P. & E). South of Holsteinborg 
observed several times down to Itivdlinguag, 66°30’ (P. & E.). 
A northern type, without limit northwards; the above menti- 
oned is hitherto the southmost known in West Greenland. Not found 
in East Greenland, the record from 66°5' by Kruuse is errone- 
‘Qussa(es)s 
Abundantly flowering and fructificating. The flowers are purplish- 
crimson, white forms are very rare. At the same locality flowering 
1—2 weeks before the preceding. The large, strongly yellow-coloured 
roots are sometimes eaten by the natives. They have a sweet taste 
(from dulcite ?). 
Often snowless during winter. 
XLIII. Lentibulariaceae. 
Utricularia. 
Like the species of Callitriche the Utricularia’s found in Greenland 
occur near the shores of small shallow lakes, but they are much rarer. 
During winter those lakes are frozen right down to the bottom, but they 
melt rather early at the shores, and in the summer the water here is 
warm. The hibernacula will grow out to small shoots, but because of 
the short summer they never attain to flowering. Like most of the
