1879. The flowering plants were collected by him and determined by 
Asa Gray, and a list of them is published in Bull. U. S. Nat. Mus. No. 
15. Washington 1879. No special localities are given. Amongst the plants 
mentioned from Disko, the most interesting is Arctostophylos alpina. 
Jou. Lance published in 1880 the first part of his excellent »Con- 
spectus florae Groenlandicae (Meddelelser om Gronland III) in which he 
has put together all records of Greenland plants known up to that time 
and chiefly based his results on his own revision of the large collections in 
the museum at Copenhagen. Here also are mentioned for the first time 
some small collections made by several Danish officials and ladies 
and sent to Copenhagen. For Disko the whole number of vascular plants 
recorded by Lance amounts to about 175 species. 
A. Beruin and A. C. Natuorst, both participating in Norpen- 
SKIOLD’s expedition of 1885, collected plants on Disko. In his paper 
BERLIN enumerates about 44 species from the vicinity of Godhayn 
(Ofv. K. Vet. Ak. Férh. 1884 No. 7) whilst Narnorst records 21 species 
from the Vajgat coast. (Ofv. K. Vet. Ak. 1884 No. 1). 
In both pamphlets several interesting varieties and forms are 
mentioned. 
Eve. WarminG, visited during his journey to Greenland in 1884 the 
south coast of Disko and made, assisted by Toro. Horm, rich collec- 
tions here. Some of their most interesting gatherings are mentioned in 
a paper of Warminc’s in Meddelelser om Gronland VI 1886, (for the 
rest see the papers by Hoim and Lance quoted below). 
The main botanical results of the journey was the classical treatise 
of Warmine: Om Gronlands Vegetation (Medd. om Gronland XII 1887 
with resumé in French ibid. (see also ENGLER’s Jahrbiicher). 
In this work are also given detailed accounts of some stations on Disko. 
Tueo. Hotm and L. KotpeRup RosENVINGE travelled in West Green- 
Jand in 1886 and also collected on the southcoast of Disko. Hoitm published 
the results of his two journeys in EnGLER’s Jahrbiicher VIII p. 283 ff., 
where some 121 species are mentioned from Disko, amongst them the 
very rare Alchimilla alpina, Rhodiola rosea and Carex gynocrates new 
to Disko. 
The new localities found by RosENvINGE, who was chiefly engaged 
in studies on Algae, are incorporated in the following paper. New to 
Disko are Sedum villosum. 
In 1887 Jou. Lance published a supplement to his »Con- 
spectus« (Medd. om Gronland III, 2) in which several new localities are
