in the flowering season (July), while they in the heads of the 

 inlets are 8 — 15 ctm. high. In the interior it sets fruit in 

 abundance.

Southern coast-p. : Skærgaards Halvøen (A.) ! Kap Warming, Itiv- 

 salik, Ikerasarmiut, Vahls Fjord (K.) ! 



The species was previously not found north of Angmagsalik 

 (by Berlin); the present most northern point, 68°S', a particularly 

 favourable habitat with manured ground and herby slope is yet con- 

 siderably more to the south than its northern limit on the west 

 coast. It is very rare north of 66°20' and only 10 ctm. high, but 

 yet it sets flower everywhere and as far as can be judged from 

 the collected material also fruit. It shuns here the coast, and all 

 finding places are well sheltered, exposed to the south and have 

 the character of herby slopes, while the species more to the south 

 prefers heath.

The species grows socially and forms a 10 — 20 ctm. high 

 cover over spots of an extension of 1 — 2 D M. on clayey, sandy 

 ground, especially where the rock comes rather near the surface.
