126. Cassiope tetragona (L.) Don. — On heaths, in hogs and 

 on rocky flats; very common. 



127. (Cassiope hypnoides (L.) Don. — On heaths, in bogs and 

 especially in places where the snow remains a long time; not so 

 common as at Disco lîay. ])ut slill I do not think it was absent from 

 any locality. 



128. Myrtillus uliginosa (L.) Drej. var. microphylla Lange. 

 — On heaths, rocky flats and rocks; very common. 



var. pubescens (Wormskj.) Lange (Fig. 14; сГ. Fig. 9). 



Fig. 14. Mijrtillus uliginosa var. pubescens Lange. Year's shoot; 



var. microphijllum Lange, from heath, has been photographed for 



comparison (Lakse Fjord Qingua). 



To this I refer large ascending shrubs with year's shoots as 

 much as 6 cm. long, and leaves as much as 25 mm. long and as 

 much as 15 mm. broad, very slightly downy with hairs on the 

 under-side. 



Occurs at the head of Lakse Fjord (72" 27') on rocks well covered 

 with humus. Found also in several places north of this locality 

 ([Ryder] Lange). 



While the var. microphyllnin, common in Greenland, had already 

 ripe fruit when we were there (end of July) the var. pubescens had 

 just finished flowering, nor were there any fruits on it, either ripe 

 or unripe. 



Diapensiaceae. 



129. Diapensia lapponica L. — On rocks, on heaths and 

 rockv flats; not rare, but nowhere in great abundance.
