Coininon in Ihc tcrritorv explored, in thickets and in meadows about the rivers 

 Yenisei and Abakan, on llic islets in the said rivers, along the road between Kushabar 

 and Minusinsk, in the Amyl valley, at Ust Algiac and Ust Sisti-kem. Most of the speci- 

 mens collected have vigorous stems, 2—3 dm. high, and are sparsely clothed with appres- 

 sed hairs, especially so under the heads. The stipules are glabrous, or sparingly beset with 

 some few long, spreading hairs. The calyx is pubescent with appressed hairs. Near 

 Kushabar I have collected some specimens of a form with vigorous, ascending stems 

 densely beset with horizontally spreading or sometimes slightly retrorse hairs. The 

 leaves are also rather much puberulent. especially so underneath, the petioles with 

 dense, spreading hairs. The stipules nearly glabrous, save for the projected points, which 

 are long-haired. As for the rest, like the preceding one. This foi-m seemed, most pro- 

 perly, to have to be referred to /. pilosiim Heuffel (Abh. Z. B. G. Wien VIII (1858) p. 

 88; AscHERS. et Graebn. F1. Nordostd. Flachl. p. 436). Taken flowering in June and 

 July. 



Distribution: Europe, south-western Asia to Cashmere, Siberia, in the Yenisei valley 

 northwards to 68" north lat.

On dry hills in thickets of foliage trees near Kushabar; flowering at the middle of 

 July. The species is rare in eastern Siberia.

A'ery common on islets in the rivers Y'enisei and Abakan, especially in grass-grown 

 meadows and in thickets, at Kushabar and in the subalpine taiga territory on the Amyl. 

 Begins flowering in the second half of June. In the Urjankai countiy this species seemed 

 to be widel}' distributed. In the Altaian I have found it right up to the tree limit, near 

 Ust Algiac, Ust Sisti-kem, on the Kamsara, at Ust Tara-kem, Sebi, Buluk, Tapsa, and also 

 on the Ulu-kem. 



Distribution: From the eastern part of middle Europe throughout Siberia, eastwards 

 to the Pacific Ocean, northwards to about 70" north lat., northern Mongolia. Turkestan.
