The main-species on heath, herb-mats, thickets and in stony 
soil ascending the hills to considerable altitudes. 
The variety: in very moist bogs and especially at lake-shores; 
generally in the lowland. 
Both very common throughout the whole area. 
Widely distributed in Greenland with neither southern nor (the 
main-species) northern limit. 
Abundantly flowering and fruiting. 
The variety thickly covered by snow and often by ice during win- 
ter. The main species certainly snowless now and then.
