P. DeBeerechel 1966 Journal 12 August Mleade River Coal Mine, 157°25'W, 70°27'S. Alas this. Else where in the area they are only a few other associations, which I might as well describe here. The most obvious is the "River bar" - willow zone including the mud along the river. The mud is dominated by Juncus, Carex aquatilis & membranaceae, Eriophorum scheutzeri, Deschampsia, Antiphiola and Equisetum. The willow zone seems to be one of Salix alpensise along the river, giving way to S. glanca, S. richardsonii, S. ferrae, subtidally, and finally S. bracteata inland; the whole zone is occupied by several characteristic flora - e.g. Hedysarum, Parnassius palustris, Saxifraga oppositifolia, and (?Aster sibericus). A closely related habitat is a stream side Salix palustris association, clearly dominated by this species and Carex aquatilis; Hippurus & often Potentilla palustris are common in the streams, + other aquatics. Related to this loosely are late snowbed valley and river bluff slopes, with a diversified flora dominated by frost-bushes, and characterized by such species as Theroform richardsonii, Saxifraga vivularis, Hydrice secotiniae, and (locally) Ranunculus pygmaeus.
