Lichenes
The reindeer-moss of 1-102, which is the single most important plant in the book — the whole winter fodder of the herds, and Bogoras lists seven Chukchee kinds of it with two Latin names attached (Cetraria, Stenocaulon paschale).
A lichen is a fungus in symbiosis with an alga, so the modern placement is under Fungi; Bogoras's own century treated Lichenes as a group in its own right, and calls these mosses.
Note that only two of the seven have a Latin name at all. The other five — Qai-wattaˊpqai, Koihuˊ-wattaˊp, Mɪˊrg̣ɪčhɪn, Aioˊpɪču-wattaˊp, and the two colour varieties — are Chukchee folk taxa with no binomial in the print.
