A 145. Viscaria alpina (L.) Don. 
Disko: The south coast and the adjacent valleys; here and there, a great. 
many habitats known, but not common (P.). 
The north coast of Mellemfjord 69°45’ rare (P.). 
Mainland: Kingigtog 70°10’ (Htz.); Ritenbenk (Bg.); Ata 68° 45’(P.); at the 
head of Pâkitsoq-Fjord (Bg.; P.); (not seen at Eqe (P.)); Jakobshavn (W. & H.); 
round the Sydostbugt from several places; Egedesminde (P.); Qeqertarssuatsiaq 
68°23’ (P. & E.), the mainland at 68°30’ (P. & E.); Kangerdluarssuk east of Agto 
(E. P.); common in N. Stromfjord. From the last place southward rather common, 
especially at some distance from the coast. 
A southern type. North of the area only observed a few times, 
the northmost at about 72°30’. 
In lime-charged soil the colour of the flower is a very intense red; 
a white-flowered variety has been observed at Egedesminde. 
Flowers and in good seasons some of the fruits are ripened; seed- 
lings are found. 
Covered by snow during winter. 
XIX. Portulacaceae. 
N: 146. Montia lamprosperma Chan. 
In moist places, for instance, periodically inundated lake-shores, 
moist spots between bog-mosses and heath-plants; in manured places 
near the houses. 
The distribution insufficiently known; often overlooked because 
of its diminutiveness. 
Disko: The south coast, from several places; no doubt common. 
Mainland: From Ritenbenk down to the Sydostbugt collected from several 
places; no doubt common. 
From the archipelago of Egedesminde recorded as “rare” by Kruuse. In 
N. Stromfjord at Eqaluarssuit 67°36’ (Р. & E.); Holsteinsborg (V.). i 
To be sure a southern type. The northmost localities hitherto 
known are in the Nordostbugt at about 70740" (Vh.). 
Abundantly flowering and fruiting. 
The habitats are covered by snow and often by ice. 
XX. Ranunculaceae. 
A 147. Ranunculus paucistamineus Тлозен. var. eradicatus 
LAEST. GELERT (Batrachium confervoides Ев.). 
In pools and the shallow parts of lakes. Common round Disko- 
Bay and together with Hippuris the most frequent aquatic plant. There 
are fewer statements from the southern part of the area, but no doubt 
common here as well.
