OR Morten P. Porsiip 
A southern type, north of our area only once observed at 70°40’. 
The range southwards not known to us, as in the records it was ordina- 
rily incorporated with var. groenlandica. 
Flowers normally, and fruits are developed in favourable places. 
Sesides locally dispersed by the widely creeping stolons. 
During winter covered by thick layers of snow and ice, but is un- 
covered in the early spring by the action of the sea. 
We are mostly inclined to follow Ryperc in keeping Bgedit as 
a distinct variety or subspecies as we have not found intermediate 
forms. We only saw the leaves quite glabrous or with few silky hairs, 
not with a dull felt. In proportion to the small size of the plant the 
stolons are relatively longer than in var. groenlandica. 
Vv 197. Potentilla pulchella kh. Br. 
On the shore or near it, as well in sandy as in clayey soil, in open 
morainie and alluvial soil but probably only in the neighbourhood of 
the shore. Sometimes on or under fowling-cliffs, on the resting places 
of birds and near fox-traps. 
Disko: The north-land from Qutdligssat ca. 70° to the mouth of the Nord- 
fjord, not infrequent (P.). 
Hare @ (Nath.; P.). 
Mainland: Nugssuaq peninsula from the mouth of the big river along the 
Waygat-coast, not infrequent (P.). The east coast of Disko-Bay, from several places, 
but searce. Kangatsiaq 68°15’ in the archipelago of Egedesminde (K.). Near Hol- 
steinsborg 66°56’ (Lundager!). 
A decided northern type, the last mentioned places the known 
southern limit of the species. 
Abundantly flowering and fruiting. 
Varies according to the quality of the habitat. Thus var. elatior 
LANGE is a luxuriant form from manured soil, as already stated by 
SIMMONS. 
Vv 198. Potentilla nivea L. 
Most frequently in stony soil, in fissures and on rock-shelves, but 
also in open gravelly places in the heath, rarer in manured soil. 
Very common throughout the whole area. Widely ranging in Green- 
land without northern limit; a northern type, its continuous 
distribution stopping at 64° on a high-alpine locality; only once ob- 
served south hereof. 
Within the area ascending to the snow-limit. 
Often snowless during winter. 
Varying very much, the varieties and forms often difficult to classify.
