In coniferous forest on the river Amyl, near Semiretska. In full flower in the middle 

 of .luly. This |)lant seemed to be rare in Siberia. Thus, as late as in 1872. it was not 

 known from Siberia at all, as Hi-:RnEH, 1. c, writes; „Ihr Vorkommen in Siliiria dagegen 

 ist zwar sehr wahrscheinlich, abcr noch nicht nachgewiescn". Later on. however, it 

 has been found in western Siberia, in the governments of Tobolsk and Tomsk, but not 

 heretofore — as far as I know — in the government of Yeniseisk, where my finding- 

 place on the river Amyl thus represents its most eastern locality as yet known in 

 Siberia. 



Distribution: Northern and middle Europe, Russia. Caucasia, Asia Minor, Sibe- 

 ria, eastwards roughly to the Yenisei, Japan?

Scattered in somewhat dry coniferous forest at Kushabar, near the river Algiac, and 

 at Ust Sisti-kem. In full flower in the second half of July. 



Distribution: Northern and middle Europe, southwards to northein Spain, north- 

 ern Italy and Bulgaria, Caucassia, Siberia, in the Yenisei valley northwards to past 70"

This species is pretty common near Ust Kamsara, where I have collected it witli half 

 [•ipe fruits about the middle of August. It occurs on dry, mossy tussocks. 



Distribution: Europe, except the exti'eme south, Caucasia and south-western por- 

 tions of Asia to the Thian-Shan, throughout Siberia, in the Yenisei valley northwards to 

 past 70° north lal.. eastwards to Kamtchatka and the Amoor Province, northern Mongo- 

 lia, Manchooria, Corea, Japan. North America, Greenland.
