1879. The flowering plants were collected by him and determined by 
Asa Gray, and a list of them is published in Bull. U. 5. Nat. Mus. №. 
15. Washington 1879. No special localities are given. Amongst the plants 
mentioned from Disko, the most interesting 1s Arctostophylos alpina. 
Тон. LANGE published in 1880 the first part of his excellent »Con- 
spectus Ногае Groenlandicae (Meddelelser om Grønland III) in which he 
has put together all records of Greenland plants known up to that time 
and chiefly based his results on his own revision of the large collections in 
the museum at Copenhagen. Here also are mentioned for the first time 
some small collections made by several Danish officials and ladies 
and sent to Copenhagen. For Disko the whole number of vascular plants 
recorded by LANGE amounts to about 175 species. 
A. BERLIN and A. С. NATHoRsT, both participating in NoRDEN- 
SKIOLD’s expedition of 1883, collected plants on Disko. In his paper 
BERLIN enumerates about 44 species from the vicinity of Godhavn 
(Ofv. К. Vet. Ak. Förh. 1884 No. 7) whilst Naruorst records 21 species 
from the Vajgat coast. (Öfv. K. Vet. Ak. 1884 No. 1). 
In both pamphlets several interesting varieties and forms are 
mentioned. 
EuG. WARMING, visited during his journey to Greenland in 1884 the 
south coast of Disko and made, assisted by THEO. Ногм, rich collec- 
tions here. Some of their most interesting gatherings are mentioned in 
a paper of WARMING's in Meddelelser om Grønland VI 1886, (for the 
rest see the papers by Horm and LANGE quoted below). 
The main botanical results of the Journey was the classical treatise 
of WARMING: Om Grønlands Vegetation (Medd. om Grønland XII 1887 
with resume in French ibid. (see also ENGLER’s Jahrbücher). 
In this work are also given detailed accounts of some stations on Disko. 
Тнео. Horm and L. KoLpERup ROSENVINGE travelled in West Green- 
land in 1886 and also collected on the southcoast of Disko. Horm published 
the results of his two journeys in ENGLER’s Jahrbücher VIII p. 283 ff., 
where some 121 species are mentioned from Disko, amongst them the 
very rare Alchimilla alpina, Rhodiola rosea and Carex gynocrates new 
to Disko. 
The new localities found by ROSENVINGE, who was chiefly engaged 
in studies on Algae, are incorporated in the following paper. New to 
Disko are Sedum villosum. 
In 1887 Jon. LANGE published а supplement to his »Con- 
spectus« (Medd. om Grønland III, 2) in which several new localities are
