A decided northern type; the-above-mentioned localities repre- 
sent the south-limit of the species. 
Abundantly flowering and fruiting. 
No doubt often snowless during winter.

G. ANDERSSON and H. HESSELMAN have published a few short diagnoses 
and figures by the late O. GELERT of the forms of Cochlearia as far as 
they vere known at his time from arctic regions. Hence it is usually 
easy to refer a specimen to one of the three forms acknowledged by 
GELERT: | 
В. groenlandica (L.) Gel. 
y. oblongifolia (D. С.) Gel. 
о. arctica (Schlecht.) Gel. 
But as GELERT did not succeed in completing the revision before 
his death, and as he unfortunately did not leave any list of syno- 
nyms of the forms known from Greenland, а satisfactory distribution 
cannot yet be given. 
Cochlearia officinalis is growing near the shore, often among other 
plants and in manured $01. 
Very common throughout the whole area. 
Abundantly flowering and fruiting. 
Hibernates covered by snow and ice-foot.

In herb-mats. 
Disko: Only observed once at Narssaq at Wavgat 69°50’ (P.). 
Mainland: From the vicinitiy of Disko-Bay, very rare: Sarqaq about 70° 
(V.): Tasiussarssuaq (Bg.; Bl.) and southwards perhaps less rare; nevertheless we 
did not find it in the fjords of the Egedesminde district. In the southmost part 
of Greenland very common (ROSENVINGE). 
A decided southern type, the mentioned places represent the 
north limit in Greenland. 
Recorded from about 79° by WErHERILL, but | should consider 
this a confusion with Dr. arctica (С. Ровзио: Medd. om Grld. 47, 
p. 244). 
Within the area a lowland plant. | 
In the flora the plant is usually given as biennial; but in “Flora 
v. Deutschland und Fennoskandinavien sowie von Island und Spitz- 
bergen” Е. HERMANN very correctly remarks that new rosettes often
