3. MiddendorUianum, Maxim. Lvs. alternate, ob- 

 hau'eulate, dentate toward apex: fls. yellow, in a flat- 

 toppediyme. Summer. Amurland. — Accordingto J. W. 

 Mauuinji, it grows 4 in. high, and has deep green foli- 

 age which becomes a rich purple in winter. Woolson 

 says it is densely tufted.

 toothed for the greater part of their length, 2K x % in. : 

 fls. yellow, % in. across, in a loose, panicled cyme 1-3 in.

 suitable for the hardy border and for rockeries.

 site or alternate, oblong-ovate or oblong-lanceolate, 

 regularly toothed: fls. yellow, in a dense, flat cyme.

6. Selskianum, Regel. Also spelled Selskyanum. 

 Height 12-18 in. : lvs. alternate (%), serrate in the distal 

 third: fls. yellow, nearly 1 in. across, in a hollow-topped, 

 leafy cyme. Late summer. Amur., Manchuria. — Re-
