Abundantly flowering and fruiting. 
Undoubtedly snowless now and then during winter. 
I 70. Carex incurva Licurr. 
On sandy coasts, sometimes also in manured soil at the settlements. 
Disko: The southcoast at Godhavn 69°15’ (Th. P.) at some small bogs near 
a little lagoon. 
It appeared at the Arctic Station, which lies a few hundred meters from the 
sea, after the building of the houses and grows now in mouldy manured soil along 
a drain and forms here a dense carpet. Rather common on Nord-Disko; Hare 0. 
Mainland: Waygat-coast of Nigssuaq peninsula. In the gneiss-domain isolated 
and scarce, for instance, Eqe 69°45’ (P.); several places from the sandy shores 
around Sydost-Bugt (V.; Htz.; P.); Kangatsiaq 68°15’ (Bg.) and observed a few 
times in the surroundings of Holsteinsborg. 
In West Greenland known from 60° to 61° and from 65° to 71°30’, 
but besides from the coasts of Smith’s Sound; no doubt often overlooked. 
Even without flowers very easily distinguished from other spec- 
ies. But in nature it is not very conspicuous, not even with spikes, these 
normally being bent down and hid among the leaves. 
f. erecta O. F. Lang seems to be a shade-form. 
Abundantly flowering and fruiting. 
Hibernates covered by snow. 
i 71. Carex pratensis Dres. 
At the foot of a fowling cliff among other tall vegetation: Qeqertalik-Fjord, 
Naujarssuit 66°44’ (KE. P.). 
A decided southern and rare type, for the rest only known 
from a few places in Godthaabfjord and Tunugdharfik. The above 
mentioned locality thus the northern limit of the species. 
Here abundantly flowering. 
Hibernates covered by a thick layer of snow. 
A 72. Carex Macloviana d’UrRv. (C. festiva Drw.). 
On fertile heath-slopes, herb-mats and in thickets. 
Disko: The south coast around Godhayn 69°15’ several localities; rather 
common (P.); Diskofjord at Kuanerssuit 69°35’ (P.). 
Mainland: Sargag 70° (V.); Pakitsog 69°28’ (Sor.); Egedesminde (W. & H.); 
S. Kangerdluarssuk (W. & H.); Holsteinsborg several localities (Th. Fr.; W. & H.). 
A decided southern type, the known northern limit of which 
has been mentioned above. 
In South Greenland it becomes gradually common and is also to 
be found at some considerable altitudes (Ros.).
