The Flora of Disko Island and Adjacent Coast of West Greenland. 
Widely distributed in Greenland without southern, and probably 
also without northern limit. 
Flowers and fructificates abundantly. 
Hibernates covered by snow and often by ice. 
ig 136. Stellaria borealis Bic. (S¢. alpestris Harr. 
St. calycantha Lepes.). 
In vigorous herb-slopes and copses. 
Disko: Only at the hot springs on the south coast near Godhayn and in the 
great valleys in the inland; from many places in Diskofjord (P.), in Mellemfjord 
at Kuanit and Ikorfarssuit 69°44’ (P.); Mudderbugt (P.). 
Mainland: Recorded from Egedesminde by Sorensen, but in vain searched 
for by us both here and in a great many much more favourable places (P. & E.). 
Found in Ikert6éq-Fjord 67°50’ (Rink.; Korn.). 
A decided southern type; the above-mentioned places on Disko 
represent the northern limit; not common till south of 61°30’ (Ros.). 
Abundantly flowering and fruiting. 
Hibernates covered by snow, often by ice. 
! 137. Stellaria longipes Gotpir. (Incl. St. Edwarsti Hook. 
In almost all sorts of soil, right from the sand and dunes of the 
sea-shore, the settlements, the manured soil of the fowling-cliffs and 
-islets and to the heath- and rock-vegetation, ascending to the fell- 
field near the inland-ice. 
Often forming extensive patches and conquering places where the 
grass is peeled off: building sites, garden plots and the like. In the gar- 
dens it becomes a troublesome and ineradicable weed. 
Very common throughout the whole area. 
Widely diffused in Greenland with neither northern nor southern 
limit. 
Abundantly flowering, but very seldom fruiting. 
Only in unfavourable places not covered by snow in winter. 
A 138. Cerastium cerastioides (L.) Brirr. (C. trigynum ViLL.). 
On moist clay- and sand-spots on the heath and very often as a 
pioneer on newly-formed moraine; in bogs and at the springs. 
Disko: Common on the southern part of the island and in the two southmost 
fjords and the valleys there. Along the west coast rarer. On the Waygat-coast rare, 
only on the southern part.

Mainland: From Waygat down the Disko-Bay-coast in spots, not as common 
as on Disko. Rather rare in the archipelago of Egedesminde, Qeqertarssuatsiag 
68°23’ (P. & EB.), not noticed by us in any locality in N. Stremfjord, but no doubt 
to be found on the hills in suitable places. a
