A phytogeographical study of South Greenland. Vascular plants
South Greenland, extending from 59° 45' to 62° 20' N., is considered a botanical province ranking with those of West, North and East Greenland. The province is divided into six vegetational zones, based on the distribution of selected taxa. A phytogeographical analysis grouped the 346 taxa...
