Plover Bay, Siberia 



The mountains bounding the glacial fiord called Plover Bay, 

 though beautiful in their combinations of curves and peaks as 

 they are seen touching each other delicately and rising in bold, 

 picturesque groups, are nevertheless severely desolate-looking 

 from the absence of trees and large shrubs, and indeed of vege- 

 tation of any kind dense enough to give color in telling quantities, 

 or to soften the harsh rockiness of the steepest portions of the 

 walls. Even the valleys opening back from the water here and 

 there on either side are mostly bare as seen at a distance of a 

 mile or two, and show only a faint tinge of green, derived from 

 dwarf willows, heathworts, and sedges chiefly. 



The most interesting of the plants found here are Rhododendron 

 kamtschaticum Pall., and the handsome blue-flowered Saxifraga 

 oppositifolia L., both of which are abundant. 



The following were collected July 12 and August 26: 

 Arenaria macrocarpa Pursh. " punctata L. 



Aconitum Napellus L. var. del- " caespitosa L. 



phinifolium Ser. Dryas octopetala L. 



Anemone narcissiflora L. 

 Draba alpina L. 

 Parry a Ermanni Ledeb. 

 Saxifraga oppositifolia L. 



Oxytropis podocarpa Gray. 

 Rhododendron kamtschaticum,
