 be the case in other places on the Abakan Steppe. In such habitats were frequently to 

 be found: Potentilla bifurca, Potentilla multifida, Arabis incarnata, Astragalus sulcalus 

 subspec. Turczaninowi nov. subspec, Veronica incana, Nepeta lavandulacea, Statice

Near Ust Kamuishto occur large areas of swamps, partly with fresh or nearly fresh 

 water, partly with brackish or salt water. There is no outlet to the water, which is 

 fresh near the mouth of the small river flowing into the swamps, but at some distance 

 from the mouth, the water gradually becomes more saline, with a typical halophilous 

 vegetation. Thus, near the mouth of the river, there occur the following plants: Bidens 

 tripartitus, Hippuris vulgaris. Ranunculus sceleratus, Eriophorum anguslifolium, Veronica 

 Anagallis, Utricularia vulgaris, Atropis distans, Atiopis tenuiflora, and olheis. Here 

 also occurs Chaia ciinita, covering in abundance the bottom of shallow walcr.
