 .\bakansk. Some specimens of this one, as yet flowerless, have been collected bj' me at 

 the beginning of .June. It can, however, even in this ])hase of development, J)e distingui.s-

Only a few specimens have been collected by me in dry, grass-grown meadows on 

 islets in the river .\bakan, near Ust Kamuishlo. The specimens have stems 50 to 60 cm. 

 high, with very scattered, short hairs, the leaves now and then nearly glabrous, but rather 

 much glandulous. The leaflets are rather large, opposite, broad and ovate, 2 to 3 cm. long, 

 2 to '2.'^ cm. broad, coarsely and irregularly indented at the margin, which is plane, not 

 revolute. The petals, which are of a pale yellow — to judge from dried material — arc 

 somewhat shorter than the equally large and glutinous sepals, subacute at the summit. 

 4'he whole ])lant is, for the rest, more or less glutinous. Collected flowering in the second 

 half of .lune. 1 have also observed the species near Ust Sisti-kem, Ust Tara-kem, and at 

 Bjelosarsk. 



Distribution: Through Siberia, from the Ural lo Manchooria. luirthern Corea, Mon- 

 golia, northern Tibet.
