Nowhere is seen so mixed and variegated a plant- society as on extensive, fairly densely plant-covered mountain slopes where the majority of the plant-formations are met with, in patches, side by side. On a talus of fallen blocks and debris (urd) there is often a considerable vegetation of lichens, mosses and liverworts. In some places, especially far up on the mountains, the sloping heaps of rock-fragments are poor in plants: in other places they carry a rich vegetation of ferns or willows and birch shrubs and heather, with a variable admixture of herbaceous plants from dif- ferent formations, with no special character, the vegetation resembling closely that which occurs in ravines and lava-clefts.
