In thickets between Karatus and Kushabar, and of rather common occurrence in 

 the subalpine wooded tracts about the Upper Amyl and about the river Sisti-kem. and 

 at Ust Tara-kem. in grassy and moss-grown places. Nearly past flowering, and with 

 ripe capsules in the second half of July. The lower part of the stem is, in the specimens 

 collected, furnished with dense, spreading hairs, and the upper part with dense, glan- 

 dular hairs. The leaves are pubescent, without glandular Imirs. The petals are of 

 the same length as the sepals, or shorter, from 5 to 7 mm. long, acute at the sum- 

 mit, and scarions-margined, viscid-pubescent. The ripe capsules are slightly curved, of 

 about twice the length of the sepals. The peduncles, which are beset with dense, glan- 

 dular hairs, are generally somewhat longer than the calyx. It seemed to agree perfectly
