94. Brag a p ii r p ii r a s с e ii s (И. Br.) Bunge. — S v a r I e n h u к 

 (Dickie), cited from Lange, Coiisp. Fl. Grl., p. 4(). 



95. Drab a alpin a L. — - On moraine material and on rockj' 

 flats, sometimes in open places on heaths or on rocks; did not occur 

 commonly and never abundantly even though it was not absent 

 from any place. 



96. Draba eras si folia Grab. — Qinqartag, 72° 4' (Ryder). 

 The northern limit of the species in Greenland. 



97. Draba nivalis Liljebl. — On heath, rocks and moraine 

 material, in river-beds and on rocky flats; common. 



98. Draba fladnizensis Wulf. — On moraine material and on 

 rocky flats, in open spots on the heath and in bogs ; no doubt common. 



99. Draba hirta L. — Very common in many different for- 

 mations and varies considerably, hi copses as much as 40 cm. high. 



100. Cochleria officinalis L. v. groenlandica (L.) Gelert. 

 — It is probably not wanting in localities suitable for its growth. 



var. obi on gi folia (D. C.) Gelert. — Sukanssat, 72° 22' (Ryder). 



101. Lesquerella arctica (Wormskj.) S.Watson. — Svarten- 

 huk (Dickie) according to Lange (1. с), and has been found both 

 north and south of our district. 



The species grows by preference in sandy soil and is therefore 

 often found in the carboniferous sandstone area. Of this we only 

 came across two small occurrences (Ingnerit and Safarssuit), and we 

 did not find it there. 



102. Sax i frag a Aizoon Jacq. — Proven: rare, previously 

 found by Ryder; Lakse Fjord and Amitsuarsuk: fairly common on 

 sunny slopes. Here the plants were very vigorously developed, as 

 much as 35 cm. high. 



103. Saxifraga stellaris L. var. comosa Poir. — In bogs 

 and on damp heaths; very common. 



104. Saxifraga tricuspidata Rottb. — On rocks and heaths; 

 very common. 



105. Saxifraga nivalis L. — Very common on heaths, in 

 bogs and on rocky flats, and especially on somewhat damp rock- 

 ledges. The plant is most vigorously developed in the last habitat. 



106. Saxifraga oppositifolia L. — Common everywhere. 



107. Saxifraga aizoides L. — Igdlorssuit: in damp places 

 near a small stream, searched for in vain in other localities. 



108. Saxifraga cernua L. — Common everywhere. 



109. Saxifraga r i v u 1 a ri s L. — Occurs commonly in damp moss 

 and damp sand. Varies greatly as regards size. The red form, var. 

 purpuracens Lange, appears to be the most common, while the pale- 

 green plant Avith pure white flowers must undoubtedly be regarded
