Alps of Europe, mountains of North India, and North Asia. 
Mr. Hancock’s specimens are almost glabrons, with deeply- 
lobed leaves and few, large flowers; but there are similar ones in 
the Kew Herbarium fron Sachalin Island.

Dr. Klatt's description of his L. heterogenea agrees in many 
particulars with the present species; but that is described as 
having an eglandular corolla with lanceolate acuminate segments. 
It is possible, however, that he had imperfect materials and that 
they may prove to be the same.
