Artemisia aleutica(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
The first Artemisia was the daughter of Lygdamis and was set up as the tyrant of Halicarnassus by the Persians, who were at the time the overlords of Ionia, after the death of her husband.
She participated in the Battle of Salamis in 480 BC as a Persian ally with five ships, but as she was about to be captured by the Greeks, she accidentally rammed and sunk a Persian ship, causing the Greeks to spare her life as they believed she had defected to the Greek side.
The second Artemisia was the wife (and sister) of king Mausolus of Halicarnassus in the 4th century BC.
There are also eleven North American vascular plant species and several seaweeds, which are found nowhere else in Russia.
Dry, hilly forbs-heath and underbrush heath tundra dominate on the northern part of Bering Island, which is characterized by plateaus and sloping plains.
On steep, rocky parts of the slope, among scree, in basalt fissures, and on pronounced outcroppings, pioneer groups of thymeleaf saxifrage (Saxifraga serpyllifolia), Funston's saxifrage (Saxifraga bronchialis), moss campion (Silene acaulis), boreal sagebrush (Artemisia arctica), and northern asphodel (Tofieldia coccinea) are encountered.
