6. Crataegus pinnatifida Bunge var. garanica O. Paulsen, l. c., p. 141, fig. 1. 
Folia 3-5 cm longa, petiolo 2—3 cm longo suffulta, eircumscriptione

serratae, 0,75—1,5 cm longae. Corymbi paueiflori (?), pedicelli fructiferi 
2—4 cm longi, fructus maturi 1—1,5 cm longi nigro-rubri (in sicco nigri)

1898. 
The plant in question is perhaps different from C. pinnatifida which 
has finely serrate leaves, semicordate stipules and red fruits with 3—5 
pyrenes. But as the habit of the two plants agrees and as my material 
is rather scarce I do not risk to describe my plant as a new species. 
7. Epilobium thermophilum O. Paulsen, ] <., p. 142, fig. 2. 
Planta omnibus partibus glaberrimis. Rhizoma subterraneum arcuatum 
longe fibrillosum. Caulis fistulosus erectus 12--40 cm altus in parte in- 
feriore saepe ramos elongatos arcuato-ascendentes florigeros gerens, teretius- 
culus lineis glabris parum manifestis vel nullis munitus. Folia inferiora 
opposita ovato-oblonga, ovato-lanceolata vel lanceolata-oblonga, basi rotun- 
data petiolis brevibus vel brevissimis suffulta, superiora sparsa ovata- vel 
elliptico-lanceolata, in petiolum brevem breviter attenuata, — folia omnia 
irregulariter serrato-denticulata, laete viridia 2—4 cm longa 5—15 mm 
lata. — Alabastra parva (vix 2 mm longa) rubra elliptico-ovata, flores 
parvi (c. 5 em longi) erecti. Calycis petalis brevioris lacinia ovata acuta. 
Stigma clavato-globosum. Capsulae glaberrimae tenerae maturitate erectae 
4-—5 cm longae pedicellis 2—3 cm longis suffultae. Semina ca. 1 mm 
longa obovoidea apice rotundata pallide fusca testa tenuiter papillosa. 
Pamir: N. 1062, 1179, at a hot spring near the lake Jashil Kul. 
Alt. 3900 m. Aug. 7 and 29. 1898. 
The bigger specimens were collected at the head of the spring, on 
the border of the little stream issuing from it. Here the water had a 
temperature of 329 C. The smaller specimens were to be found farther 
from the head. In 1901 I forwarded a specimen of this plant to the late 
Professor Haussknecht in Weimar, and he admitted the species to be new 
and remarked that it has the nearest relation to E. minutiflorum Hausskn. 
(see his Monogr. Epilob., p. 212, t. 4. In habit it resembles certain forms 
of E. lactiflorum Hausskn., from which it is easily distinguished e. g. by 
the absense of thin stolons. 
8. Pedicularis pulchra O. Paulsen, l. c., p. 211, fig. 1. 
(Sect. Bidentatae.) Perennis humilis foliis 2—4-natim verticillatis 
circumscriptione anguste lanceolatis, petiolatis, sinuato-pinnatifidis laciniis
