never came to publish his results; he only distributed sets of dupli- 
cates with printed labels, giving the distribution of the vascular plants, 
from 60° to 72°48’ n. Lat. At his death in 1854 he left, besides 
extensive diaries, a nearly completed MS. with full descriptions of 
all plants known to him as occurring in Greenland, but these MSS., 
that together with the collections of Vani are in the possession of the 
Botanic Garden at Copenhagen, have never been published. Only 
some new forms, found by Vani have been incorporated in the »Flora 
Danica« together with figures and short diagnoses of them. 
In 1857 Jon. Lance gave a list of plants of Danish Greenland as 
an appendix to H. Rink: Gronland, statistisk og geographisk beskre- 
vet vol. II*. The list is chiefly based upon the collections of Vaux and 
Rryxk and on the information given by the former on his written and 
printed labels. Special localities are only stated for the rarer species, 
the distribution of the common ones is stated by indicating the paral- 
lels of their southern and northern limit, as found by Vaut. 
According to this list, Vant has found on Disco between 135 and 
155 species*. Amongst the species here recorded from Disco one state- 
ment seems to be erroneous, viz. Anemone Richardsoni (see the notes 
for this species in my list below). 
During PENNy’s voyage some plants were gathered by P. C. 
SUTHERLAND; a set of them, named by W. J. Hooker was given to 
J. Dickir, who published them together with a small collection brought 
home by INGLEFIELD (see his book: A Summer Search for Sir John 
Franklin 1853 p. 135). From Disko 11 species are recorded. 
During BELcHeER’s expedition a collection of plants was made 
by Lyatt; they were determined and published by J. D. Hooker 
(Journal of the Proc. of the Linn. Soc. Botany vol. I 1857 p. 114) who 
records about 56 species from Disko. Of the rarer species, Habenaria 
albida deserves special mention, because up to that date it had not been 
found so far north. The following statements are without doubt erro- 
neous: Larbrea uliginosa (= Stellaria longipes), Gnaphalium sylvaticum 
(= Gn. norvegicum), Arenaria rubra (= ?). 
On Kane’s voyages plants were collected at various places in Danish 
Greenland as well as near Smith Sound. In the list given by Duranp

the limitation of the species accepted by me; the numbers given in the 
original papers are therefore often somewhat altered here.
