inclined to consider them as R. orientalis and not as R. domesticus as 

 has been done hitherto with the mountain-Rumices from Turkestan 

 (see e. g, : B. Fedtschenko : Mat. fl. Shugnan, trav. Mus. hot. Ac. St. Pb. 

 I., 1902). But I beheve that on closer consideration of a larger material 

 more species will be found to exist. 



3. R. sp. 



Too young. I suppose it is a R. Hydrolapathum Huds. 

 Prov. Ferghana : in a dry river-bed of the river Kurshab at Gultsha. 

 June 17th 1898. 



4. Rumex turcestanicus n. sp. 



Glaber perennis, caule striato 0.5 — 0.8 ™ elato superne paniculato- 

 ramoso, foliis inferioribus longe petiolatis ellipticis vel ovato-ellipticis 

 (in spec, nostris ca. 12 cm. longis, 6 cm. latis), basi cordatis, apice 

 obtusis vel acutiusculis, planis vel crispulis, foliis superioribus petiolatis 

 elhptico- vel ovato-lanceolatis basi rotundatis apice acutiusculis, paniculae 

 ramis arcuato-adscendentibus elongatis parte inferiori foliis lanceolatis 

 munitis superne aphyllis, verticillastris remotis vel subremotis, pedicellis 

 filiformibus parum infra medium articulatis tandem recurvis valvis maturis 

 subaequilongis vel longioribus, perigonii foliis exterioribus dimidiam 



latitudinem valvis aequilongis, valvis ca. 5 mm. 

 longis triangulari-ovatis fere aequilatis ac longis apice 

 obtusis integris marginibus lateralibus in dentes 

 crebros a basi sublatiore subulatos rectos fissis, valde 

 reticulatis, aequaliter calliferis, callis magnis tuber- 

 culosis. 



A single valve of Found in cultivated land at Bokhara (May 5^^ 



Rumex turcestanicus. jggg, N. 1739) and in the province of Ferghana at 



Slightly magnified. ^^^ ^j^^^ gt^ jggg^ n_ 340) and at Margelan (May 



27th 1898, N. 287). Mr. Lipsky has identified N. 340 as R. obtusifolius, 

 N. 287 and 1739 as R. pulcher. 



This species is related to R. nepalensis Spreng., R. pulcher L. and R. 

 reticulatus Bess., but is easily discernible by the broad valves bearing 

 straight spines, and the not divaricated panicle. In foliage it has some 

 resemblance to R. obtusifolius L.
