| Summary: | Vascular plants: The large amount of vascular plant material collected in southwest Greenland by the botanical expedition of 1946 has been published by Bocher (1952a), who has discussed several species in earlier studies (1950, 19Sl) and has written a monograph on Carex Heleonastes-mblyorhy.Izcha in its entire circumpolar range (19S2b). Material from other expeditions has been included in Sgrensen's (1953) study of the difficult genus Puccinellia, and in his present research on the genera Hierochloe, Calmagrostis, and Braya, and in K. Holmen's systematic studies of the genus Festuca. Our knowledge of the chromosome numbers in Greenland vascular plants has recently been advanced by a list of chromosome numbers of the Peary Land plants published by Holmen (1952), one conclusion being that the extent of polyploidy in that flora is not significantly higher than in other arctic areas, contrary to the theory that polyploidy should increase with worsening climatic conditions. A comprehensive review of the chromosome numbers in the Greenland flora, the work of a team consisting of C. A. JZrgensen, Th. Sgrensen |
