consequently the branches are not recurved; but this is the only distinc- 
tion, which I am able to find between our specimens and the Greenland 
specimens upon which the late Jon. LANGE based his species A. effusa. 
The form is characterised by its coarse low growth, broad leaves, and 
2—3-flowered spikelets (cfr. GELERT in Fl. Arct. p. 120) and ought to be 
named A. fulva (TRIN). Rurr., var. effusa (LGE) GELERT.

Seems to be very common in the surroundings of Gjéa harbour; 
collected several times in flower in Aug. of 1904 and 1905.

In the collection I have found a single small specimen of Glyceria . 
with flat leaves, compact growth and contracted panicles. As only pa- 
nicles from the foregoing year are present and the spikelets therefore are 
in a very incomplete stage, I have given it the name above after much 
hesitation; nevertheless the comparatively large, nearly equal, nerved 
glumes hardly allow another identification. (Collected July 31st, 1904).
