The Flora of Disko Island and Adjacent Coast of West Greenland. IM 
2) var. grandis Генм. North-east Asia, North America, especially 
the western part, but also New Foundland and (? Greenland. 
3) var. Sroenlandica Ser. Arctic- and subarctic Europe, Asia 
especially the North-East, America, Greenland. 
4) var. Egedii Wormsks. With the same distribution as the pre- 
ceding, but in Greenland farther northwards. 
Having no access, however, to Worrs work here, but only to 
extracts from it, and as LANGE and later authors give another classifi- 
cation, | am only able to sketch incompletely the distribution of the 
forms in our area. 
1) Var. vulgaris has never been seen by us nor reported from our area. 
2) Var. grandis has been reported twice: from Sanerut in N. Strom- 
fjord 67°40’ (Korn.) and from an islet in Sydost Bugt, 68°35’ 
(Htz.) Ву Rosınson & FERNALD (Gray’s Manual 7th edition 
this form is merely considered a luxuriant state (of var. vul- 
garis?) in rich meadows. We have several times found large, 
luxuriant forms in rich manured soil, for instance, on an 
islet near Akünâq, 68°35’, Isuamiut, 68°42’ and Ugssuit at the 
head of N. Stromfjord, 67°50’, but we do not doubt that they 
were only overmanured specimens of var. Lgedii growing close by. 
Л 3) Of var. groenlandica Ser. I have seen vigorous specimens, col- 
lected by OstENFELD at Eqaluit, Ameralik-fjord, 64°10’. They 
were determined by KoLpERUP ROSENVINGE to the main- 
species, but the felt is dull and not covered by silky hairs. 
Similar specimens I possess from the island Ssolowetsk in the 
White Sea, collected by Poxre!); and in our area we collec- 
ted them at Itivneq near Holsteinsborg, 66°58’. 
Л 4) Var. Egedit WormskJ. is declared by Roginson & FERNALD, 
(1. с.) to be a dwarf state, common on exposed rocks, whereas Р.А. 
RYDBERG, the American monographer of the genus, keeps it 
as a distinct species (Argentina Egedii (Wormskj.) Rydb. It is 
the form best known to us. 
Var. Egedu (\Мовмзкт.) occurs only near the shore, as well on sandy 
or clayey as on rocky ground with scanty covering of earth, but, as a 
rule, only as high up the cliffs as they are periodically wetted by the 
surf. 
Disko: Numerous localities are known, especially on the southern, western 
and northern coasts and in the fjords (P.). 
Hare Ø (P.). 
Mainland: from Marraq at the outflow of the big river on Nugssuaq peninsula, 
70°30’ southwards, occurring in numerous localities, .but nowhere common. 
1) from the same place and by the same collector I have specimens of var. 
vulgaris with silky hairs over the felt.
