. Contributions from the Botanical Laboratory, vol. 12. Botany; Botany. 146 Vegetation of Some Southern Provinces of Soviet Russia Aetheopappus pulcherrimus Gnaphalium supinum Antennaria dioica Anthemis iberica Alchemilla caucasica Potentilla oweriniana Trifolium polyphyllum Astragalus daghestanica Geranium albanum Senecio nanus Senecio primulifolius Leontodon histilis Hieracium sp. Pleuragjme carinthiaca Veronica gentianoidos Scabiosa ochroleuca Campanula saxatilis C. tridentata C. saxifraga Aetheopappus pulcherrimus Aster alpinus Taraxacum ceratophorum Astragalus daghestanica is an interesting and newly named species, with 1 cm. long balloon-like fruits. Fifty metres higher (3250 m.) lies a second small plateau immediately adjoining the Krugozor Glacier and moraine (PI. XII, phot. 2). This plateau is a typical high altitude tundra. From it were collected the following plants: Woodsia sp. g. moschata Festuca ovina S. flagellaris Bromus sp. Potentilla oweriniana Mmuartia oreima Trifolium polyphyllum Draba begardes var. imbricata Polygala alpestris Saxifraga exarata Viola biflora var. caucasica b. juniperifolia Myosotis sp. S. cartilaginea Lamium tomentosum S. sibu:ica Ziziphora sp. Nearby rocks yielded the lichens: Parmelia pubescens Gyrophora cylindrica G. proboscidea Rhizocarpon geographicum Lecidea pantherina The journey to the Dongus-Orun Pass takes one to a maximum altitude of 3180 m. Here plant life is essentially the same as that at Krugozor. The Pass (PI. XII, phot. 3) is one of several possible routes from Balkaria over the Caucasus Eange to Svanetia. Botanically, the route is intensely inter- esting. One leaves, on the north, a rocky and rugged country with few forests, and enters, on the south, a floristicaUy rich country with magnificent forests!. \ i r '<*% / ; [Reprinted from the Journal of Ecology, Vol XXI11.
