This very variable, but yet rather easily recognizable species 

 appears in many forms, size and hairiness varying very considerably; 

 it possibly comprises several species, but we have not been able to 

 acknowledge this with the material in hand where the different forms 

 pass evenly into each other. I class within this all white-flowered, 

 ciliate short-ribbed individuals. It is leather commonly extended in 

 all formations over the coast, yet decreasing distinctly in number 

 and size towards the North where it is displaced by D. alpina from 

 which certain forms cannot be distinguished when sterile or having 

 done flowering. In the southern part of the coast-region it is very 

 common also in the interior.

Rather common everywhere in Northeast Greenland and noted 

 by all travellers. Varies very much, but the forms cannot be kept 

 distinct.
