Introduction. 



J. he plants mentioned in this list were mainly collected 

 during the two Greenland Expeditions of Amdrup and during 

 a third journey undertaken by me, in the years 1898—99, 1900 

 and 1901 — 02. They were mostly collected and determined by 

 myself. The plants found by Berlin and Nathorst during the 

 short stay of "Den andra Dicksonska Expeditionen" in Kong 

 Oscars Havn (Tasiusak) in 1883 are also entered in the list. 

 They are published partly in the description of this expedition, 

 partly in Kgl. Sv. Vetenskaps-Akademiens Handlingar og Bihang 

 (see Literary List). I have also embodied the small collection 

 brought home by Mr. Knutsen from the Danske Konebaads- 

 Expedition in 1883 — 85 and published in Medd. om Grønl. HI 

 & IX together with the species found by Cand. Bay during 

 the Expedition of Ryder in 1892 at Tasiusak and published 

 by Mag. scient. N. Hartz in Medd. om Grønl. 



The hmits of the district were traced from botanical and 

 practical reasons. The northern limit is purely botanical and 

 climatic, being distinctly expressed at Кар Wandel on abt. 66°18' 

 lat. N. Here the coast becomes wider, the current that farther 

 northward has kept the ice to the land now turns out, the 

 inlets towards the south are broad and deep. The most nor- 

 thern points I have visited are at the inner end of the Sermilik 

 inlet on about the same latitude, and I have therefore traced 

 the Hmit at the "Lille Isfjord" west of Кар Wandel on 66° 20' 

 lat. N. The southern limit falls through the outer end of the
