Abstract
As has often been pointed out, the indigenous peoples in the north make wide use of plants in spite of limited vegetation which consists mainly of bushes, grasses, fem and lichen. In No.13 reindeer-herding brigade which is located in the northernmost part of the Severo-Evensk district, Magadan region, reindeer-herding Koryak make use of a number of plants for sustenance, housing, clothing, medicine, rituals, and amusement. The present paper aims to make an ethnobotanical description of plant use among the reindeer-herding Koryaks in No.13 brigade, based on linguistically exact descriptions of each Koryak plant name along with each plant's biologically exact identity.
