denuo descriptae. 
(Ex: Ove Paulsen, Plants collected in Asia Media and Persia, III. IV, 
in: Bot. Tidsskr., XXVIT [1906], p. 127—151; p. 209—219.) 
1. Leontice Leontopodium L. var. Ewersmanni (Bunge) O. Paulsen, I. c., 
b I 
L. Ewersmanni Bunge, Reliq. Lehman., p. 190; Bois., fl. or., I, p. 100. 
As Boissier says L. Ewersmanni is very like L. Leontopodium, and | 
think the first named species is a mere form of the latter and that its 
peculiarities are to be referred to the dry climate of Turkestan. 
2. Euphorbia carnosa O. Paulsen, l. c., p. 131. 
E. annua glaberrima exstipulata. Caulis iteratim dichotoma vel tricho- 
toma, internodia brevia, folia carnosa opposita sessilia integra margine 
minutissime scabrida e basi obliqua cordato-ovata acuta plurinervia. In- 
volucri glabri in foliorum angulis solitarii campanulati lobis obtusis ciliatis, 
glandulae latae exappendieulatae, styli ad medium bifidi. Capsulae stipi- 
tatae coccis rotundatis, semina verrucis magnis instructa apice truncato- 
umbilicata basi acuta ecarunculata continentes. 
Planta ca. 10 em alta. Folia 0,7—2 cm longa, 0,5—1,2 cm lata. Inter- 
nodia 1—-1,5 cm longa. 
Buchara: N. 1863: on moist spots in sandy deserts near Kis-Kala, 
at the river Amu Daria between Tshardshui and Chiwa. June 23. 1899. 
Allied to E. Turczaninowi or perhaps a variety of this species from 
which it differs by the form of the leaves. 
3. Geranium collinum Steph. var. wakhanicum O. Paulsen, I. c., p. 133. 
Caules flexuosi, internodia longa (usque ad 15 cm) pilis sparsis albis 
retrorsis vestita, folia praecipue in nervis sparse pilosa, inferiora Jonge- 
petiolata superiora brevepetiolata vel sessilia,. quinquepartita segmentis 
cuneatis apice saepius trilobatis, lobis acutis. Pedunculi saepius lon- 
gissimi (3—15 cm) biflori, pedicelli breves (2—3 cm) glanduloso-hirti vel 
. (rarius) depresso-pilosi. Sepala praecipue in nervis adpresse setulosa, 
petala rosea. z 
Pamir: Prov. Wakhan, n. 1275, in cultivated land at Langarkisht, 
alt. 3000 m, Sept. 8. 1898; N. 1391, in a ravine at Torgus, alt. 2800 m, 
Sept. 19. 1898; prov. Garan: N. 1501, at a stream near Darmaraght, alt. 
2400 m, Oct. 10. 1898. 
This seems to be a form growing on moist ground. In habitus itis 
very characteristic. 
4. Haplophyllum obtusifolium Ledeb. var. ramosissimum O. Paulsen, |. c., 
p. 135. 
Syn.: H. obtusifolium var. 8. Bunge, Reliq. Lehman., p. 238.
