Commonly extended in humid, clayey plains and slopes (table- 

 land between 75° and 73° 10' lat. N., but not observed more to the 

 south). The individuals stand lonely, with the space of 1 — 2 foot 

 between them and reach a height of 3 — 7 ctm., having 5 — 12 ctm. 

 long off-shoots. This species appears especially in Sabine Ö in 

 exceedingly great numbers and is a characterplant for the lower 

 table-land where it colours large areas with its lively yellow flowers 

 and blood-red stalks.

In the interior of Scoresby Sund up to a height of 1 000' above 

 the level of the sea. Nordvestfjord, Gaaseland, Teltplads at Rode Ö 

 (H.)! The species was not found in any of the localities visited 

 in 1900 and has not been observed in the southern coast region 

 north of 67° lat N.

Commonly extended everywhere between 77° and 67° lat. N. 

 As well f. reptans as f. pulvinata (G. Andersen and H. Hesselman) 

 appear and are nearly as numerous as the greater loosely tufted 

 individuals that correspond with the main species in lower latitudes. 

 It is found in all formations and localities, but is nowhere forma- 

 tion forming.

We found this remarkable form in great numbers between 

 S, oppositifolia and S. aizoides in a low horizontal sanded flat with 

 rather humid ground.
