varum sub arboribus vestit, ictu pedis in pulverem

Siccitas aeris venti saevi noctes frigidae valde 

 retinent progressum herbarum arborumque. Provincia 

 Amdo, in valle amnis Rako-gol (infl. Sining effluentis) 

 1 die Aprilis flores aperuit prima herba (pusilla Gen- 

 tiana squarrosa); folia arborum fruticumque initio Apri- 

 lis explicari coeperunt; in fauce altissima fl. Yedsin 

 usque ad 1 Junii plantarum florentium species collec- 

 tae erant tantum decem , locis editis vero hoc tempore 

 ne vestigia quidem in conspectum veniebant. Zona pra- 

 torum alpinorum flores proferuntur a fine Junii usque 

 ad finem Augusti. Jugo Nan-shan medio Augusto fru- 

 ticeta prataque faciem autumnalem prae se ferunt. 



Tibetia, deserto Odon-tala, flores primi aperiuntur 

 quidem initio Junii, sed timide vix e solo exseruntur 

 atque folia adhuc tegmentis obtecta habent. In valle fl. 

 Mur-ussu medio Junio herbae florentes quidem inve- 

 niebantur, sed frutices adhuc denudati erant et tan- 

 tum incipiente Julio frondescebant. 



Tsaidamo 3 — 4000 pedibus inferius sito caelum 

 multo minus asperum est, temperies calidior, nives plu- 

 viaeque parcae, caelum saepissime serenum, tempesta- 

 tes rariores, at aer saepe pulvere plenus sicut inMon- 

 golia, aestate vero insectorum obnoxiorum nubes innu- 

 merae prodeunt, adeo ut tota regio deserta fiat et in- 

 colae cum armentis gregibusque in montes emigrent. 



Plantarum habitus per varios tractus regionis in- 

 vestigatae satis diversus. 



In jugis Nan-shan, Altyn-tag et ultra versus Ke- 

 riae jugum, tum in stratis limosis quae vulgo Loess 

 vocantur secundum fl. Hoang-ho et inter valles flumi- 

 num provinciae Amdo, nec non in Tsaidamo, flora in 

 mentem vocat eam Mongoliae finitimae, zona alpina 

 autem floram montium Asiae centralis borealis, atque 

 similitudo haec eo major est quo sicciora sunt loca 

 examinata.
