89. Cassiope tetragona (L.) Don. 



Lge. Consp. Fl. Groenl. p. 87 & 266. 



Found but in a single place in heath on the shady side of a 

 mountain range between 1 50 and 800 mt. above the level of the 

 sea from 66° 5' — 66° 9' lat. N. and only rank in the middle of the 

 stated area. Here the tufts attained a diameter of 30 — 70 ctm. and 

 a height above the ground of 15 — 25 ctm., its development was 

 also most vigorous almost in the middle of its vertical distribution 

 between 500 and 700 mt. above the level of the sea; here almost 

 every specimen was flowering (^^/e — '^^/7) and numerous ripe and 

 old fruits were seen; lots of young specimens were also found (but 

 seedlings Avere not seen). Many of the less vigorous specimens 

 were much injured from Exobasidium. On the extreme points of 

 the habitat downwards and in horizontal direction but a single 

 sterile and stunted specimen was found after a long time spent in 

 searching, while the limit upwards (800 mt.) was due to orographic 

 influences, the rock being here covered with debris offering no 

 habitat and the boundary-specimens being vigorous and commanding 

 cover-forming.

90. Cassiope hypnoides (L.) Don. 



Lge. Consp. Fl. Groenl. p. 87 & 267, Hartz Fanerog. p. 392. 

 Andromeda hypnoides Berlin Käriväxter p. 53. 



Rather common on herby slopes, on rocky steps, in humid 

 places in table-land and among blocks of stone, often in shade. 

 The tufts up to 25 ctm. in diameter, thick, up to 5 ctm. high. 

 Flowers richly from the 20*^^ of June, sets abundant ripe fruit.
