Japanese: イッサ族 - いっさぞく
Issa tribe

…At some altitudes of 1000m or higher, where the area is somewhat favored by orographic precipitation, sparse forests of juniper and podocarp trees can be seen, but at lower altitudes below 1000m, sparse bushes of acacia and euphorbia dominate, and along wadis where water flows only in the rainy season, these become denser and are mixed with tamarix.
