Abstract
KNOWLEDGE of the vegetation of High Asia is now extensive. The climate, while leaving something to be desired in other respects, favours the preparation of botanical specimens, and travellers in the inclement uplands of Tibet and the Pamirs have supplied much material for herbarium use. Yet, owing to circumstances beyond their control, this material c'ompares unfavourably with that secured by explorers in temperate and tropical regions. As a result, our acquaintance with the flora of High Asia is still far from exhaustive.
