Viereck LA. 1967. Plants above 2,140 Meters (7,000 Feet) in the Alaska Range. The Bryologist. 70(3):345-347
Two vascular plants, 18 lichens, and five bryophytes were collected above 2,140 meters (7,000 feet) on an exposed ridge of an alpine summit on the north side of the Alaska Range. The vascular plants, Chrysosplenium wrightii and Saxifrage oppositifolia, were found up to 2,195 meters (7,000 feet) and 2,165 meters (7,100 feet) respectively. Several of the mosses were found as high as 2,286 meters (7,500 feet), and several lichens grew above 2,320 meters (7,600 feet).
