The Maymandzhin Range (Russian: Майманджинский хребет) is a mountain range in Magadan Oblast, Far Eastern Federal District, Russia.[2][3]
One of the possible routes of the projected Lena-Kamchatka railway line is across the Maymandzhin Range.[4][5]
Geography
[edit]The Maymandzhin Range rises at the western limit of the Kolyma Highlands system. The mountains are of moderate height, the highest summit of the range is a 1,809 metres (5,935 ft) high summit rising in the southern part.[1] Certain sources give a height of 1,800 metres (5,900 ft).[3]
The range is located in the interfluve of the Bakhapcha and Buyunda rivers, both right tributaries of the Kolyma flowing northwards. The Olsky Plateau lies at the southern end. 2,031 metres (6,663 ft) high Mount Khetinskaya (Гора Хетинская) rises to the northwest, beyond the northern end of the range, and to the west lie the Upper Kolyma Highlands.[1]
Hydrography
[edit]The Yama has its sources in the southwestern slopes of the Maymandzhin Range and the Buyunda and Nyavlenga at the southern end, in the Kilgan Massif. The Talaya, a tributary of the Buyunda, and the Nerega, a tributary of the Bakhapcha, have their sources on the northeastern slopes. The Maltan, another tributary of the Bakhapcha, flows northwards, below the western slopes.[1][2][6]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
