Flowers of the Russian Far East 2010

 

This a record of the flowers seen on a trip to the Kamchatka Peninsular, the Kuril Islands and the Commander Islands.  There is limited access to reference books for this area and searches on the internet frequently reveal conflicting results.  Fortunately with some plants there is great similarity to plants found in the UK and therefore it is possible to give a family name.

Where possible I have tried to follow the order set out in the book 'Plants of Kamchatka'.
