Abstract

Lists with brief descriptive and distributional notes, 115 vascular plant taxa collected as part of Arctic Institute of North America High Mountain Environment Project 1966-1967, from the Skolai Creek floodplain at 4800 ft, the steep slopes leading to and from the 5800 ft Chitistone Pass. Some of the species bridge occurrence gaps in populations of central Alaska and St Elias Mts of SW Yukon; some are known from so few localities that their Alaska distribution is uncertain; the remainder are widely distributed in most alpine areas of Alaska and the Yukon. A southern extension of Draba oblongata is noted.
