regions. The main form is often fructificating, it never forms bulblets 
or exceptionally a few at the top of the shoots. This latter form we 
have not seen north of South-Disko. 
Covered by snow during the winter. 
A 15. Lycopodium annotinum |. 
In thickets and luxuriant heath. 
Disko: Not uncommon on the south-coast, in the big valleys and the two 
southmost fjords. Not noted elsewhere on the island. 
Mainland: Rather common in the gneiss-land, especially at some distance 
from the coast growing more and more common southwards. Not noted in the 
basalt- and sandstone-range and rare in the outer part of the archipelago of Ege- 
desminde. 
Common is var. pungens Desy. In thickets the mainspecies is rare, 
but there are numerous transitorial forms between them. 
The species must be considered a southern type, rather wide- 
spread in Greenland, but getting more scarce northwards and here the 
north-limit is provisionally to be settled at 72°48’. 
Usually a lowland plant, not ascending to any considerable altitude. 
As a rule abundantly fruiting. 
Covered by snow during winter.

A. Br. (L. tristachyum Pursn). 
A pronounced southern type recorded from Disko at Godhavn 69°15’ (Sor-.); 
in vain scarched for by us for several years; besides found at Skansen 69°25’ (Rikh). 
From the mainland known from a few places, the northmost of which at 
ca. 65°. 
A 17. Lycopodium alpinum L. 
In favourably exposed heath and dry herb-mats. 
Disko: Numerous localities along the southcoast (many collectors); Eqa- 
luit 69°40’ (P.); Mellemfjord Sarqardlit ilordlit 69°40’ (P.). 
Mainland: At the trading-place Nugssuaq 70°40’ (V.); Majorqarssuatsiaq 
70°12’ (Bg.); Jakobshavn (W. & H.); Egedesminde (W. & H.); Kangerdluarssuk

Recorded by many collectors and from numerous localities in the 
broad land, between 66° and 67°. 
A southern type with north limit at the northmost of the men- 
tioned habitats. 
Lowland plant. Often sterile, although fruiting specimens occur 
now and then.
