Distribution and occurrence of Onagraceae in Greenland
Distribution maps of the Greenland Onagraceae and synecological notes are presented. Four species are low–arctic, most often or exclusively growing in the lowland. The northernmost occurrence of the three of them, Epilobium palustre, E. hornemannii and E. lactiflorum is at “hot springs” between 69°...

| Summary: | Distribution maps of the Greenland Onagraceae and synecological notes are presented. Four species are low–arctic, most often or exclusively growing in the lowland. The northernmost occurrence of the three of them, Epilobium palustre, E. hornemannii and E. lactiflorum is at “hot springs” between 69° and 70° N, while the fourth, Chamaenerion angustifolium , with the same northern limit, does not show this preference. E. anagallidifolium is even growing two degrees of latitude further north, and besides it is not limited to the lowland. E. arcticum has an arctic distribution between 69° and 80° N, while the seventh species, C. latifolium , is circumgreenlandic, being rare only in the most oceanic part of N Greenland. The occurrence of E. alsinifolium in Greenland has been rejected. |
