DiSTEiB. Amur-region and Maritime Province of Siberia, Saghalin and Rebuu 

 Island. 



The present variety is quite common in Saghalin, where it is most widely dis- 

 tributed. It is, however, not yet collected in the main island of Hokkaido, being 

 known only from Rebuu. Its general characters are intermediate b.^ween those of 

 thetwo preceeding varieties. The ilower> are of medium size, aiid are not so l<x>sely 

 set as in the var. yezoense. 



In our floral region, at least, the present fjrm deserves to be treated as a 

 distinct variety together with two others already described.
