Since the publication of S. Stefänsson: Flora Islands in 1901 
a few species of flowering plants have been discovered on theisland, 
viz. Ruppia maritima, f. rostellata , Car ex paniculata , Avena elatior, 
Rosa canina, Glaux maritima, Cardamine hirsuta , subsp. silvatica, 
Matricaria suaveolens (adventitious), H. exuviatum Dahlst. and H. 
reductum Dahlst. C. H. Ostenfeld.

coast of Greenland between 65° 30' and 66° 20' lat. N.

Through the two Danish Expeditions to East-Greenland in 
1898—1899 and 1900 and through the author’s own expedition to the 
Anmagsalik district in 1901—1902 a large material of plants has 
been brought home. In a former list (published in the same periodi- 
cal) the author has given a list of the higher plants of East-Green¬ 
land north of 66° 20' lat. N. 
The area, the plants of which are dealt with in the present 
paper, “forms geographically spoken a whole, this part of the coast 
being characterized by being free from ice on a very broad area, 
by the large far penetrating inlets and by the numerous islands 
along the coast among which the Angmegsalik island takes the 
foremost place. It forms like Scoresby-Sound an oasis, as it were, 
on the coast otherwise so poor.” 
The flora of the district consists of 183 species of higher plants; 
the conception of the species is taken in a wide sense. 69 species have 
not before been found within the district, and one of them Sedum 
acrej is new to the flora of the whole of Greenland. 
Under each species is given its distribution within the area, 
remarks of systematical and morphological interest, notes on the 
times of flowering and fruiting, and descriptions of its habitat. 
Items of somewhat wider interest are: 1°. a survey of the “small 
species” of Alchimilla vulgaris; 2°. notes on the biology of Archan- 
gelica officinalis Hoffm.; 3°. a systematical investigation concerning 
the arctic forms of Campanula rotundifolia with special reference 
to the papers by Miss Witasek; 4°. systematical notes on Erigeron 
alpinus and its alHes. C. H. Ostenfeld.
