The Flora of Disko Island and Adjacent Coast of West Greenland. 61 
Abundantly flowering, but at Godhavn, for instance, not fruiting 
every year. 
Often snowless; but the living parts of the plant always covered 
during winter. 
i 103. Juncus bufonius L. 
On moist spots of clay, and especially at the lower edge of bare, 
flat. gneissrocks. 
N. Stromfjord from Ipiutarssuaq along the southern side of the branch to 
Sarfarssuaq 67°45’ observed from several places (P. & E.) 
We were highly surprised by finding this plant here, being hitherto 
only known from paths at the old Norse-ruins at Igaliko (about 61°). 
On the map in Medd. om Gronld. 15 tab. XII an old ruin is marked 
off at Itivdlerssuaq, the passage from Nuerssorfit to Artfersiorfik. Ac- 
cording to informations from the natives in the district there really 
is a big ruin, but no doubt of Eskimoie origin. Thus, according to the 
absence of Norse-ruins here, it is unlikely that the plant has been in- 
troduced by the Norsemen. 
The specimens were very small; from simple, only one centimeter 
heigh, single-flowered specimens, to specimens 5 centimeter heigh. 
ramified from the ground, these bearing 1—3 flowers. 
Normally flowering. 
A 104. Luzula parviflora (Enru.) Desr. 
In herb-mats and as undergrowth in open copses; on Disko often 
in the neighbourhood of the hot springs; often forming extensive pat-

bugt, about 69°45’ (P.).

Egedesminde? (Sor.) in vain searched for by us (EB. & P.); Augpalartog north of 
Kangatsiaq, 68°25’ (Kr.); Kangerdluarssuk east of Agto, 67°59’ (E. P.); N. Strom- 
fjord near Gieseckes lake (Korn.); Eqaluarssuit, 67°36’ (P. & E.), (in the interior 
part of the fjord not observed by us!) N. Isortoq (V.); Holsteinsborg: from several 
places in the fjords, especially from the interior (W. & H.); (P. & E.). 
A southern type, the above-mentioned places representing the 
north limit in West Greenland, 68°25’ for the mainland, 69°35’ 
for Disko. Common in South Greenland. 
Lowland plant, only ascending to inconsiderable altitudes. 
Abundantly flowering and fruiting. When the snow falls in’ the
