| 76. Carex slareosa WAHLENB. 
At the shore among other vegetation. 
When having room enough it forms dense carpets or marshes 
along the shore, for instance, at the borders of lagoons inland from 
the beach. 
C. glareosa grows, just like the other plant characteristic of the 
shores of Disko Bay, Puccinellia angustata v. vaginata, in semi-globular 
tufts with the fruiting stalks lying densely pressed to the ground and 
radiating in all directions. Stands manuring very well. 
Very common throughout the whole area; attaining its highest 
development when the shore consists of sand or clav. 
Widely distributed in Greenland without known northern or 
southern limit; the northern limit likely to be found at some place 
near Smith's Sound. 
Abundantly flowering and fruiting. 
Hibernates covered by snow and often by ice. 
V 77. Carex ursina Dew. 
On moist sand at brackish lagoons at the shore, sometimes in 
rather extended patches. 
Disko: The south coast at Godhavn 69°15’ (Е. P.); Maligiag at the mouth 
of Diskofjord 69725" (Th. Fr.); at the head of Nordfjord various places 69° 50—-55° 
(P.); the Waygat-coast Unartuarssuk (Nath.); Ivnärssukasik 70910” (P.). 
klare (2). 
Mainland: The coast of Nügssuaq peninsula from Marraq north of the great 
river down to Atanikerdluk (P.), several localities; Eqe 69°42’ (P.); Claushavn 
(S. H.); Orpigssuit (Htz.); Egedesminde (Bl.); Itivneq (W. & H.). 
A decided northern type, the last mentioned locality being the 
south limit in West Greenland. North of the area found at Niaqôr- 
naq 70°47’ (V.) then not till Ellesmereland (Simmons), but no doubt 
overlooked from the interjacent part of the coast. 
Abundantly flowering and fruiting. 
Hibernates covered by snow and ice. 
A 78. Carex gynocrates WOoRMSKIJ. 
Disko: Østerdalen (Nyg.) Blæsedalen (Th. P.). Skarvefjæld at Godhavn 
699177 (Th. Fr.); Skansen 69°25” (Rikli). 
Mainland: Claushavn 69°5’ (Be.); Ikamiut 68°37’ (BL); Tasiussarssuaq 68723" 
A decided southern type, rare from all localities (perhaps over- 
looked)? in Greenland. 
The above-mentioned localities represent the north limit; south
