1 76. Carex glareosa WAHLENE. 
At the shore among other vegetation. 
When having room enough it forms dense carpets or marshes 
along the shore, for instance, at the borders- of lagoons inland from 
the beach. 
C. glareosa grows, just like the other plant characteristic of the 
shores of Disko Bay, Puccinellia angustata v. vaginata, in semi-globular 
tufts with the fruiting stalks lying densely pressed to the ground and 
eadiating in all directions. Stands manuring very well. 
Very common throughout the whole area; attaining its highest 
development when the shore consists of sand or clay. 
Widely distributed in Greenland without known northern or 
southern limit; the northern limit likely to be found at some place 
near Smith’s Sound. 
Abundantly flowering and fruiting. 
Hibernates covered by snow and often by ice. 
Vv 77. Carex ursina Drew. 
On moist sand at brackish lagoons at the shore, sometimes in 
rather extended patches.

A decided northern type, the last mentioned locality being the 
south limit in West Greenland. North of the area found at Niaqor- 
naq 70°47’ (V.) then not till Ellesmereland (Simmons), but no doubt 
overlooked from the interjacent part of the coast. 
Abundantly flowering and fruiting.
