Abstract
Calamagrostis neglecta (Ehrh.) P. Gaertn., B. Mey. & Schreb. was observed growing on exposed sandy ground in Serebryanoye Mire on Kunashir Island in the southern Kuril Islands in 2012. The observation is noteworthy because C. neglecta typically grows in bogs and not in sandy environments. However, the high frequency of fog in the Yuzhno-Kuril’sk area is considered to supply the plant with sufficient water to support growth in sandy environments.
