Of veiT common occurrence on the islets and along the banks of the rivers Yenisei 

 and Abakan, where flowering in the second half of May and the first half of June. The 

 petals frequently apjiear to be remarkably deep and argute serrulate at the margin. The 

 last year's branches are generally glabrous; at this time, however, may be found, here and 

 tliere, smaller hairy parts. The leaves are glabrous beneath, only in the angles between 

 the veins with a tuft of rust-coloured or white hairs. Thus, the specimens agree perfectly 

 with the European form. The branches of the trees are not unfrequently somewhat pen- 

 ilenl /■ penduln Du'HEL (Handb. Laubholzk. 1 (1906) p. 640). In the Urjankai country the
