OF ALPINE PLANTS IN THE CAUCASUS. 285 
on Sawalan at 10,000 ft.; the specimens were 15 cm. [6 in.] 
in height. 
GAGEA PUSILLA, Schult. f. The series of specimens in the 
Museum only certifies to one high alpine station, namely, the 
eastern foot of Kapudschich, where it was collected in company 
with Puschkinia in springy ground at nearly 10,000 ft., on 15/27 
June, 1871. 
GaGea RETICULATA, Schult. f. I dug up this species from 
soft, marly, calcareous soil close to the melting snow on the south 
side of Schah-dagh, at quite 11,000 ft., on 27 June/9 July 1885. 
ORNITHOGALUM REFRACTUM, Waldst. § Kit. This species 
lies before me from the Talysch lowlands, as well as from two 
alpine localities: on the 20 June/2 July, 1880, on Sawalan at 
more than 10,000 ft., and from the bottom of Kapudschich on 
15/27 June, 1871, at about 9500 ft. The scape of the former is 
at most 2-3 em. [1-14 in.) high. 
PUSCHKINIA SCILLOIDES, Adam, collected from 10,000 ft. on 
both Sawalan and Kapudschich. 
Lvzvra spicata, Linn. Distributed in the alpine districts 
as far as the Carex turf-patches extend upwards. I gathered it 
at the altitude of 10,000 ft. on Borbalo, when it was 16-25 em. 
[62-10 in.] high, 15/27 July, 1876, also on Kerigo, 8/20 July, 
1876; westwards on the Great Caucasus, especially on its south 
side and naturally dependent on the relative snow and cultiva- 
tion lines, being thus like alpine plants in general. On Dadiasch 
strong specimens were met with at 9000 ft, on Elbruz at 
10,000 ft., 11/23 August, 1865, the individuals 7-10 em. [2}- 
4 in.] high, and similar plants from Küp-göl at over 11,000 ft. 
LUZULA CAMPESTRIS, Linn., var. ALPINA, E. Mey. I brought 
this form only from Elbruz at 10,000-11,000 ft., on 10/22 
August, 1865. All other localities lie in the subalpine zone of 
7000-8000 ft., in the middle and outer ranges. 
LUZULA MULTIFLORA, Ehrh., var. CONGESTA, Boiss. Fl. Orient. 
v. 849. Cited by Ruprecht from Daghestan at 10,000 ft. 
Etyna SCHENOIDES, C. A. Mey., =E. spicata, Schrad. ?, and a
