Abstract
THE Soviet Government has awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labour to Prof. Boris Keller as a mark of appreciation of his many years of scientific and pedagogical work. Keller was one of the first Russian botanists to make an ecologo-physiological study of the vegetation of the Russian steppes, deserts and semi-arid regions. He aimed at obtaining concrete information on the ways and means by which the evolution of plants takes place in Nature and which lead to their adaptation to differing ecological conditions. He also studied these regions with the view of using them for agricultural purposes.
