The Flora of Disko Island and Adjacent Coast of West Greenland. 63 
A 108. Luzula frigida (Восн.) SAMUELSSON (L. multiflora Аотт. 
| non EHRH.). 
In copses, herb-mats and vigorous heath. 
Disko: On the south coast; in the fjords and the big valleys rather common 
in favourable places in the lowland. Not observed on the north and north-east coast. 
Mainland: In the gneissic area of Disko-Bay rather common. As to the ar- 
chipelago of Egedesminde Kruuse states: “rare”, but this is only the case on the 
outmost and small islets; we (Р. & ВЕ.) found it on the southern side of Sargardlit 
68°39’; on the mainland at 68°30’; Qeqertarssuatsiaq (the southern side) 68°23’; 
Kangerdluarssuk east of Agto and common in N. Stromfjord and its ramifications. 
Very common in the district of Holsteinsborg (P. & E,) 
Certainly a southern type; north of Disko-Bay from a few 
places to 72°30’ this temporalily being the north limit of the species. 
Usually lowland plant only ascending to inconsiderable altitudes. 
Abundantly flowering and fruiting. 
Covered by snow during the winter. 
NB. The referring of the plants from our area to L. frigida in- 
stead of to L. multiflora is due to Dr. G. SAMUELSSON who revised the 
material in H. H. 
XIII. Liliaceae. 
| 109. Tofieldia palustris Huds. 
In moss-bogs and moist spots in the heath, sometimes in herb- 
mats and copses, but not, as stated by Rowlee and Wiegand !. с. р. 423, 
“on sand along the shore”. Very common throughout the whole 
area. 
Widelv distributed species, the north limit of which is yet un- 
known. It has been observed till north of 74°, but the records from 
north of Cape York wants confirming. 
Ascends the hills following the dense growth of vegetation. 
Flowers and fruits abundantly. 
Covered by snow in winter. 
V 110. Tofieldia coccinea Вгсн. 
This rare plant, hitherto only known from four places in the Nordost-Bugt 
(between 70°30’ and 71°45’) and from three places in East Greenland (between 
70°30’ and 76°30’), was unexpectedly found by us in the interior of N. Stromfjord 
from Ipiutarssuaq 67°42’ towards Sarfarssuaq almost everywhere, growing among 
tall. mosses on the very vigorous heath of the lowland; besides in several places on 
a hill in the narrow passage between the Qarssorsaq-arm of this fjord and Arfer- 
siorfik 67°55’ ascending to 3—500 m. 
In spite of the occurence here the species must be settled as a 
northern type immigrated to Greenland from the North. No doubt
