Plumbaginaceae. 



130. Statice Ar me ri a L. var. sibirica (Turez.) Rosen v. — 

 This species was not observed in the interior of the two northern 

 fjords in the gneiss district, but was fairly frequent on heaths and 

 on moraine material in the southern basalt district. 



Bovraginaceae. 



131. Mertensia maritima (L.) Don. — On sea-beaches: Lakse 

 Fjord, Orpik (72° 30'), Prøven (Kane), Qingartaq (Ryder), and Ingnerit 

 Fjord. Occurred very sparsely in the localities investigated by us 

 and was absent from many places where conditions for its growth 

 appeared to be present. The above places are at the present the 

 northern limit of the species in West Greenland. 



Scropliulariaceae. 



132. Euphrasia latifolia Pursh. — In sunny and somewhat 

 damp localities. Tartusaq, 71" 25' and Igdlorssuit, 71° 14'; very sparsely. 

 The specimens from the most northern localities were only 2 cm. high. 



Northern limit, as previously known, was 70° 43'. 



133. Bart sc hi a alpina L. — hignerit Fjord (Ryder). The 

 northern limit of the species in West Greenland. Was not found 

 by us. 



134. Pedicularis lapponica L. — At the head of the fjords 

 on heaths ; very common as far north as 72° 30'. Tartusaq and Igd- 

 lorssuit; rare. 



The localities recorded above must, for the present, be regarded 

 as the northern limit of the species in West Greenland as Hart's 

 record from 78° 18' is erroneous according to Simmons. 



135. Pedicularis flammea L. — Very common on heaths 

 and in moss-bogs which are not too wet. The plants are often large 

 and vigorous. 



Lange records the northern limit to be 73°, but judging from 

 its distribution in our district its northern limit did not appear to 

 be near. 



136. Pedicularis hirsuta L. — In similar localities as the 

 above; very common. 



137. Pedicularis lanata (Wllld.) Cham. & Schltd. — On rocky 

 flats and on heaths. Frequent in the basalt area in the coastal districts 

 and on the mountains in the interior of the fjords, but was searched 

 for in vain in the lowlands. 



Leutibulariacea. 



138. Pinguicula vulgaris L, — In moss along a small stream 

 at Igdlorssuit, 71° 15'. Previously found there by Dr. S. Hansen. 



The northern limit of the species in West Greenland.
