Among sand and loose stones on the banks are to be found Dianthus superbus and Petasites laevigatas. One of the most characteristic plants here, on grass-grown river-banks, was furthermore the tall Elymus giganteus. As the last remains of the real wood flora are to be found in some places, accom- panying Picea obovata and Pinus silvestris, plants such as: Linnaea borealis, Equisetum silvaticum, Athyrium crenatum, Phegopterispolypodioides, Vaccinium Myrtillus. Vaccinium vitis idaea, Goodyera repens, Gnaphalium Fig. 58. Typical scenery near the Dora Steppe; slopes facing south are dry and barren, those facing north are grown with larch. In the background some huts are seen - the so-called yurts — belonging to the natives. Thus, leaving the loftier regions in the mountains, the natural conditions of the land are seen to change gradually southwards from the characteristic and genuine taiga about Ust Algiac into the lower, wooded steppe region about the Upper Bei-kem on the Dora Steppe, with a more distinct central Asiatic stamp. The direct distance between the two said places is not more than about 150 to 200 wersts
