      The world's northernmost forest, of '<em>Larix cajanderi</em>' at Ary-Mas, Taimyr Peninsula. There are 2 isolated groves, separated from the timberline by 200 km of tundra (5). Where the two species are distinguished (as they often are in Russia), <em>L. gmelinii</em> s.s. occurs from central Siberia E to about longitude 120°E to 125°E, which area comprises a zone of hybridization with <em>L. cajanderi</em>, which occurs in nearly all of forested Siberia E of longitude 125°E. '<em>Larix gmelinii</em> and <em>L. cajanderi</em> do not differ in either qualitative morphological features or quantitative measurements. There is both geographical and ecological isolation between them. <em>Larix cajanderi</em> grows in more rigorous ecological conditions than <em>L. gmelinii</em>... [D]ifferences in the qualitative characteristics are gradual and are probably caused by clinal variation' (6).
