montane

Tanımlar (İngilizce)

1. sıfat Of, inhabiting, or growing in mountain areas; specifically, the cool, moist upland slopes below the timberline.

   “This plant evidently occupies, like V. sabulosa and V. Curtisii, an intermediate position between lutea and tricolor; and, as I have indicated already, it is a montane, not an agrestal plant. Jordan compares it to V. vivariensis, which is also a montane plant, between V. tricolor and V. lutea.”

2. isim An animal or a plant of a montane habitat.

   “The true Montanes comprise those species, of unmistakably Alpine, Scottish, or Highland type, which not merely with us but elsewhere throughout Britain are characteristic of high latitudes and altitudes—of mountain regions only.”
