138 Morten P. Porstirp. 
Mainland: Nordre Stremfjord at Hqaluarssuit, 67° 35’, on both shores (IB. P.). 
South of Sarfarssuaq, 67°45’ (P.& E.) portage near Sarfarssuaq (Korn.); Holsteins- 
borg: Preestefjaeld, 66°55’ (W. & HL.). 
A distinct southern type, south of our area only observed a 
few times, common however, south of 61°15’ (Ros.). Probably often 
overlooked because of its diminutiveness. It is hardly observable amongst 
other vegetation except when the flowers are expanded in bright sun- 
shine. The localities mentioned above are the northern limit. 
Abundantly flowering and fructificating. 
The habitats of the plant are covered by thick layers of snow during 
winter. 
i 241. Gentiana detonsa Rorrs. Kiobenh. Selsk. Skr. p. 435. tab. | 
fig, 3. 1770. (G. serrata Gunn. Fl. Norv. 2. p. 101. 1772), 
Mainland: Only once found at the head of the northern branch of Itivdleq- 
fjord, near the fishing place Aussivik, 66°31’, amongst isolated willow bushes near 
the shore, scarce (P. & E.). 
A distinct southern and rare type, otherwise in Greenland 
only found around Igaliko. In contradistinction to other species of 
Gentiana, G. detonsa is large flowering and very conspicuous, and there- 
fore it cannot be overlooked. 
The specimens were flowering and fructificating. 
The habitat will be covered by snow during winter. 
L 242. Gentiana aurea L. 
Disko: Found in 1898 at the edge of a willow copse at the outflow of a spring. 
settling crusts of gypsum at 69°33’ N. Lat. 53°34’ W. Long. in Diskofjord (P.); on 
the same spot re-found several times (P.). 
A distinct southern type, rather common at 60°—61°, pre- 
viously not found north of 61°20’, but without doubt often overlooked. 
Abundantly flowering and fructificating. 
The habitats are covered by thick layers of snow during winter. 
Jt 243. Gentiana tenella Rorrs. 
Mainland: In herb-mats at Orpigssuit, 68°21’ (Htz.); near the river to the 
southern branch of Sondre Stromfjord, on several spots, up to 400 m, 66°50" (Jens.). 
The above mentioned localities are hitherto the only known from 
West Greenland. In East Greenland, however, it was observed much 
farther to the north. A southern type. 
Flowering and fructificating. 
Probably the habitat is covered by snow during winter.
