List of Vascular Plants from the Nugsuaq Peninsula. 241 
In the basaltic district we find, at the coast, cliffs of tufa; at 
Maqaq extensive alluvial deposits, and in the lowland of the Store Dal 
a covering of morainic layers of various origin. In the sandy district, 
the soil consists of rather dry and loose quartz-sand not well adapted 
for a dense plant-growth. In the gneissic district the surface is highly 
variegated: denuded rocks alternate with hollows filled with morainic 
material. Usually, dry and moist spots occur closely together. 
List of Vascular Plants.

species only. In case of plants occurring at all or nearly all the 
localities which have been investigated, the distribution is indicated 
as common, “scarce,” etc:
