 the alders, FUipendula kamtscJiatica is most commonly found, accompanied by 

 Dryopleris dilatata var. deltoidca, Polysticniii Braunii, Urtica platyphylla, Anth- 

 ryscns sylvestris, etc. It is very interesting that the collectors could not find 

 Pinus pinnila which occurs so commonly in the other islands of the Kuriles. 



The alpine meadow region stretches at the height of over 500-700 m. from 

 the northern to the eastern flank, and over 800 m. from the western to the 

 southern flanlc. Aneinoiie narcissißora var. villosissima is most prominent be- 

 tween 700-Soo m. On sandy or gravelly slopes between 800-iSoo m., Alsine
