304 Cur. Kruuse: Travels and Botanical Investigations in East-Greenland. 
the inner sides of the fjords are found stony sea-margins which carry 
above highwater-mark a 10—30 cm broad border of: Carex glareosa, 
C. lagopina, Glyceria vilfoidea, G. distans, Festuca rubra, Stellaria hu- 
mifusa, Cerastium alpinum, Halianthus peploides, Cochlearia officinalis, 
Sagina nivalis and Sedum Rhodiola. 
On clayey beach at the interior of the fjords are found farth- 
est out, where the bottom is covered at highwater by up to 1m 
water, a dense sterile cover of Glyceria vilfoidea and Stellaria humifusa, 
which parting from the highwater-mark is intermingled with Carex 
salina v.subspathacea, С. rariflora, С. glareosa, Glyceria distans, Phippsia 
algida, Eriophorum Scheuchzeri, Potentilla anserina у. groenlandica, 
Cochlearia groenlandica, Sagina nivalis, Sedum rhodiola, Juncus biglu- 
mis, Festuca ovina, Aira alpina, Koenigia islandica and Halianthus 
peploides. 
In holes with brackish water stand: Hippuris vulgaris у. mari- 
tima, Eriophorum, Carex rariflora and Amblystegia between decaying 
remnants of Fucus and Ascophyllum. Upwards the strand-vegetation 
is bordered, at highest springflood-mark, by heather-moor. 
Lakes and Ponds (p. 281). 
The few bigger lakes are nearly devoid of vegetation. The ponds 
(fig. 43) have a somewhat richer growth consisting of the species 
mentioned upon page 283, phanerogamous species occurring, however, 
only to the number of 1 or 2 in each lake; there was, however, one 
lake with 7 species. The bogs dry up in the highsummer, which 
circumstance is of consequence for the fruitmaturing of the plants. 
The Manured Bottom (p. 285) 
is in Angmagsalik confined to houseruins, tentplaces and kitchen- 
middens. The species occurring here (mentioned upon page 285) 
attain a richer development than elsewhere, grow taller and make 
checks (fig. 44). The emporium itself has existed too shortly for 
getting a special flora; but round the colony-buildings were, however, 
noted the following as having been brought along: Brassica campe- 
stris, Sinapis arvensis, Plantago major, Malva neglecta, Pisum sativum 
and Hordeum hexastichum, which were all (with the exception of 
Malva) in-flower. Fruit was not observed.
