The Flora of Disko Island and Adjacent Coast of West Greenland. 9 
island. Of the most interesting he emphasizes the following, of which 
he says, that they have not previously been found on Disko: 
Ranunculus affinis, (this statement seems very doubtful to me, 
it is according to my opinion nothing but a form of R. nivalis). 
Draba alpina var. glabra. 
Cerastium latifolium, without doubt a mistake for a form of C. 
alpinum. 
Gnaphalium sylvaticum (already reported by Hooker as collected 
by LyAatt); this species has never been found in Greenland, and Harr 
must have mistaken a form of Gn. norvegicum for it, although he also 
mentions this species}, 
Habenaria albida Br. Of this Hart says: »Not recorded north of 
64°14" by LanGe, nor noticed by Brown, nor it is given in WALKER’s 
plants of Greenland, nor in DurANn’s list of Kane’s plants«. All these 
statements are quite true, but as we have seen, this plant was already 
1857 recorded from Disco by Hooker under the name of Peristylus 
albidus (collected by Lyatt). 
Listera cordata, this was really found many years before on Disko 
by Hotsoe tr, but the record of it was not published when Harr wrote 
his paper. 
Dryopteris Linnaeana was already found here in 1870 and recorded 
by BerGcGren in 1871. 
Of other Disko plants in Harv’s list, the following deserve special 
mention: 
Potentilla tridentata »common from Englishman’s Bay to Point 
Laksev. This statement is most surprising, as no other botanist has found 
it here, but H. G. Simmons has now informed us, (I. c. p. 470) that the 
plants thus determined by Harr are really Sibbaldia procumbens. 
Andromeda polifolia; the record of this very rare southern plant 
must also be due to some mistake (? Loiseleuria procumbens). Accord- 
ing to Simmons (I. c. 472) no specimens are to be found amongst Harr’s 
collections. 
Rumex Acetosella, is sometimes found at Godhavn but as an in- 
troduced weed. 
Arctagrostis latifolia; according to my experience this staternent 
is erroneous, as this high-aretic species has not been found by other 
collectors on the south coast of Disko, having its southern limit in the 
Nordfjord (see my list). 
L. Kumuren, the naturalist to the Howgate Expedition of 1877—78, 
paid a visit of 3 weeks to south Disko: Godhavn and Disko-Fjord in 
‘ H. G. Simmons has come to the same conclusion and he reports that no 
specimens of Gn. sylvaticum occur in the collections of Harr in the British 
Museum or at Kew. (I. c. 472).
