The material of plants came from three rather different regions, viz. the Pamir,
Tibet and East-Turkestan. The main interest lies in the Tibetan plants since this
great highland area is far from sufficiently explored; the Eastern Pamir also tra-
versed by Dr. Hedin requires further botanical exploration as the few plants brought
home in several cases were either new to science or at least new to the area.

The incompleteness of our knowledge of the flora of these regions absolves
us from any phytogeographical considerations, and we think it better to confine ourselves
to a mere taxonomic enumeration of the plants actually found by Dr. Hedin.

To a much higher degree the same lack of knowledge exists with regard
to a description of the vegetation. We therefore only refer to the compilation made
by Hemsley in his Tibetan flora.

The few papers dealing with the floras of Pamir and Tibet including Hemsley's
and Fedtschenko's and later papers, are the following:

de Lacoste. — Journ. de Botan., 21. année, 1908, pp. 49—53.
