''Solms-laubachia'' is a high-altitude genus of perennial herbs in the family Brassicaceae. It is named for the German botanist Hermann zu Solms-Laubach. Taxonomy In 2008, Yue ''et al.'' expanded ''Solms-laubachia'', using molecular phylogenetics, to incorporate all ''Desideria'' species and one other species, ''Phaeonychium jafrii''. They also described four new species. Distribution and habitat ''Solms-laubachia'' species grow naturally in the Himalayan, Karakoram, Pamir and Hengduan mountains or, regionally, in an arc from Kyrgyzstan in the northwest to southeastern Tibet. Their habitat is scree slopes and rock crevices from to altitude. Species Following their 2008 review, Yue ''et al.'' recognise 26 species: * '' Solms-laubachia angustifolia'' * '' Solms-laubachia baiogoinensis'' * '' Solms-laubachia calcicola'' * ''Solms-laubachia eurycarpa'' * ''Solms-laubachia flabellata'' * ''Solms-laubachia grandiflora'' * ''Solms-laubachia haranensis'' * ''Solms-laubach ...

The pass linked China to Barskon, a settlement on the southern shore of lake Issyk-kul. History Historically, the Bedel Pass served as a Silk Road trade route between China and Central Asia. On the Chinese side, the Bedel Beacon Tower () is located on the foothills along the path. It was built during the Han dynasty as part of the Han Great Wall. The beacon was reused and renovated during the Tang dynasty. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, the pass was the main trade route linking Tarim Basin and Western Turks in Central Asia.

Scree
Scree is a collection of broken rock fragments at the base of a cliff or other steep rocky mass that has accumulated through periodic rockfall. Landforms associated with these materials are often called talus deposits. The term ''scree'' is applied both to an unstable steep mountain slope composed of rock fragments and other debris, and to the mixture of rock fragments and debris itself. It is loosely synonymous with talus, material that accumulates at the base of a projecting mass of rock, or talus slope, a landform composed of talus. The term ''scree'' is sometimes used more broadly for any sheet of loose rock fragments mantling a slope, while ''talus'' is used more narrowly for material that accumulates at the base of a cliff or other rocky slope from which it has obviously eroded. Scree is formed by rockfall, which distinguishes it from colluvium. Colluvium is rock fragments or soil deposited by rainwash, sheetwash, or slow downhill creep, usually at the base of gentle ...
