The Bol'shoi Tesh valley
The valley of the Bol'shoy Tesh River in its low reaches,
upstream of its junction with the Kondoma River. Flat tops
of the ridges of the elevation of Gornaya Shoria (Kemerovo
Region) are partly covered by lime forests. In Siberia
the lime-tree grows in few small refugia. Here is the
largest and most known "lime island" inhabited by a relic species
Tilia sibirica Fisch. 19th September 1994. O. Kosterin.
