282 DR. GUSTAV RADDE ON THE VERTICAL RANGE 
*SCROPHULARIA MINIMA, Bieb., belongs only to the alpine 
region from Kasbek eastwards in the Great Caucasus. The 
maximum altitude of its occurrence is on the Azunta at 
11,700 ft., 5/17 July, 1876; I gathered fine blooming specimens 
on Kurwa at 10,700 ft, and on Kwawlos at over 10,000 ft., 
10/22 July, 1876, mostly out of flower. The comparatively stout 
root goes deep in the loose, damp slaty rubbish ; the above-ground 
part of the plant rarely rises above 8-10 cm. [33—4 in.]. 
SCROPHULARIA RUPRECHTI, Boiss. Fl. Orient. iv. 410, was 
found by Ruprecht in Daghestan at 10,000 ft. 
VERONICA PETREA, Sfev. I gathered my highest specimens 
in the Iohe Pass at 10,000 ft., 10/22 June, 1885. 
Verosica Teucrium, Linn., var. INTEGERRIMA, Trautv. I 
found this on Sawalan and the Bingöl-dagh at 10,000 ft. The 
variety ANISOPHYLLA ascends on Alagös up to a like altitude. 
*VERONICA TELEPHIIFOLIA, Vahl,=V. minuta, C. A. Mey. (it 
has nothing to do with V. orbicularis, Fisch. ; Boiss. Fl. Orient. 
iv. 450). After Trautvetter’s example, I join both the above 
specifically named forms in one. I have a large series from all 
parts of the scene of my journeys. It attains its greatest eleva- 
tion on the north-west side of Elbruz at 12,000 ft., on the Great 
Ararat at more than 13,000 ft., and on Schah-dagh at 12,000 ft. 
VERONICA GENTIANOIDES, Vahl. The specimens which I got 
at fully 11,000 ft. at Küp-göl are still 12 em. [5 in.] high, but 
those which were found on Kerigo at 10,500 ft. are a little 
smaller. 
VERONICA BILOBA, Linn. I have this species from Kapud- 
schich, where it occurred at 10,000 ft. 
EvPHRasta OFFICINALIS, Linn. Tiny dwarfs in full flower only 
10-15 millim. [3-2 in.] in height were collected on Kwawlos- 
mta, 10/22 July, 1876; they were also obtained 7 em. in height 
from Aschich-dagh, where they grow on heathery slopes, 20 July/ 
10 August, 1871. The former form accords well with E. minima, 
Schleich. 
PEDICULARIS CAUCASICA, Bieb. From Pirli-dagh, 27 June/ 
9 July, 1885, thrifty specimens as much as 12 em. [5 in.] in 
height in full flower. I brought examples of this species from 
quite 10,000 ft. on Alagös, which were 7-10 em. [23-4 in.] high. 1
