The Flora of Disko Island and Adjacent Coast of West Greenland. (> 
Widely distributed in Greenland without southern, and probably 
also without northern limit. 
Flowers and fructificates abundantly. 
Hibernates covered by snow and often by ice. 
L 136. Stellaria borealis Bic. (St. alpestris HART. 
St. calycantha LEDER.). 
In vigorous herb-slopes and copses. 
Disko: Only at the hot springs on the south coast near Godhayn and in the 
great valleys in the inland; from many places in Diskofjord (P.), in Mellemfjord 
at Kuanit and Ikorfarssuit 69°44’ (P.); Mudderbugt (P.). 
Mainland: Recorded from Egedesminde by Sorensen, but in vain searched 
for by us both here and in a great many much more favourable places (P. & E.). 
Found in [kertôq-Fjord 67°50’ (Rink.; Korn.). 
A decided southern type; the above-mentioned places on Disko 
represent the northern limit; not common till south of 61°30’ (Ros.). 
Abundantly flowering and fruiting. 
Hibernates covered by snow, often by ice. 
| 137. Stellaria longipes Gorpie. (Incl. St. Edwarsu Hook. 
In almost all sorts of soil, right from the sand and dunes of the 
sea-shore, the settlements, the manured soil of the fowling-cliffs and 
-islets and to the heath- and rock-vegetation, ascending to the fell- 
field near the inland-ice. 
Often forming extensive patches ånd conquering places where the 
grass is peeled off: building sites, garden plots and the like. In the gar- 
dens it becomes а troublesome and ineradicable weed. 
Very common throughout the whole area. 
Widelv diffused in Greenland with neither northern nor southern 
limit. 
Abundantly flowering, but very seldom fruiting. 
. Only in unfavourable places not covered by snow in winter. 
Л 138. Cerastium cerastioides (L.) Britt. (С. trigynum VILL.). 
On moist clay- and sand-spots on the heath and very often as a 
pioneer on newly-formed moraine; in bogs and at the springs. 
Disko: Common on the southern part of the island and in the two southmost 
‚ fjords and the valleys there. Along the west coast rarer. On the Waygat-coast rare, 
only on the southern part. 
Hare Ø (IP). 
Mainland: From Waygat down the Disko-Bay-coast in spots, not as common 
as on Disko. Rather rare in the archipelago of Egedesminde, Qeqertarssuatsiaq 
687237 (P. & E.), not noticed by us in any locality in N. Strømfjord, but no doubt 
to be found on the hills in suitable places.
