1902] PLANTS COLLECTED AT NOME CITY, ALASKA 12g 
ofa species occurring here and there where the conditions are 
more favorable to their growth. In the upper zone, above four 
hundred feet altitude as an approximate lower limit, a number 
_ of species occur that were not to be found on the lower levels. 
The general conditions are about the same in both zones. Alti- 
tude and dryness from the earlier drying up of the excess . 
water, and rocky ledges attracting the sun’s rays, are the main 
differences in environment observed in the upper zone. 
When I landed, June 18, the anemones and primroses were 
blooming, and many willows were unfolding their catkins. All 
species had almost finished blooming by the end of August, 
when the first frosts terminated plant activity, and by the _ 
of September everything was frozen up. 
The following list includes all the species I saw except one — 
“species of Allium, one of Veratrum, one of Aquilegia, and one of — 
_ Delphinium. . There were also some mosses and lichens that 
ee not 2 been determined.
