Vv 133. Minuartia stricta (Sw.) Hinrn. 
Seems to be rare or overlooked. Only found a few times in the northern part 
of the area: 
Disko: Qutdligssat, about 70° (Th. Fr.). Kigag (P.). Eyqgitsog (P.). Lakse 
bugt (P.). 
Mainland: Nugssuaq (P.). Lerbugten about 69° (Bg.) and Sarpiussaq 68°35’ 
(Bg.), this is the south limit of the species. In addition known from a few 
places on the north coast of Nugssuaq peninsula near Umanaa. 
A northern type, also very rare in Iceland and northern Sean- 
dinavia 
Flowers and fructificates. 
A 133° Minuartia groenlandica (Rerz.) Ostenr. 
Recorded from Egedesminde by Sorensen. Afterwards searched for here and 
in many other places, but in vain. Within the area only once found at Holsteins- 
borg (Mrs. DEIcCHMANN). 
A decided southern type. 
JL, 134. Stellaria media (L.) Wiru. 
Very common throughout the whole area, usually as a garden- 
weed or in manured places, favourably expesed to the sun, just in the 
neighbourhood of the gardens, and here it manages to exist for several 
years. 
It is never growing far from the gardens and when these are aban- 
doned for a series of years, it becomes undoubtedly extinct. The oecur- 
ence in the cultivated gardens is no doubt due to impurity of the garden 
seeds used, these being of various provenience and very variable. Some 
of the forms are thus annual, especially in cultures under glass-roof. 
We found it indigenous, far from present and former human 
dwellings, at the base of the fowling cliff Naujarssuit in Qegertalik- 
Fjord 66°44’ (P. & E.), here growing among tall vegetation of genuine 
Greenlandic plants; here perennial. 
A decided southern type, expressly recorded indigenous it 
was found by Harrz at 61°45’. 
Abundantly flowering and fruiting as well in the above-mentioned 
place as in the gardens. 
Hibernates abundantly covered by snow. 
I 135. Stellaria humifusa Rorrs. 
At the sea-shore, as well on sand and clay as on rocks among other 
shore-plants; also in manured places in the neighbourhood of the shore. 
Sometimes forming extensive patches. 
Very common throughout the whole area.
