Some specimens of (his one I have collecled on cliffs, on (lie borders of a small lake 

 in snbalpine woods of spruce and cedar in Ihe Altaian, on (he Uj)per Sisli-kem, about 

 1400 m. above sea-level. Mostly past flowering and with npe fruits, only a few specimens 

 in flower at the end of July. All of tlie specimens collected belong to var. dauricum 

 Maxim. 1. c. (1870) p. U. 



Distribution: From the AUai region and ea.stwards through southern Siberia and 

 northern Mongolia to Kamtchalka and Manchooria, Corea, northern China, Sakhalin, 

 Japan.

Pretty common in the Altaian, on rocky debris, and the like, at altitudes of about 

 2100 m. above sea-level, together with mosses and lichens, frequently associated with Saxi- 

 fraga stellaris siihs\wc. comosa; in full flower at the end of July. The specimens agree 

 rather perfectly with Scandina\ian material, with the exception of the corolla apparently 

 being mostly somewhat shorter than in the Scandinavian ones, and not always so mark- 

 edly nodding: moreover, the style is mostly somewhat longer, so that the pistil may fre- 

 quently be seen in the orifice of the corolla, while it is generally from 1 to 2 mm. shorter 

 in Scandinavian specimens. 



Distribution: Scandinavia, Scotland, the Pyrenees, northern Italy, northern Russia, 

 the northern Ural, the Sayansk district (northern Mongolia), Baikal, Trans Baikal, the 

 Amoor Province, the Tshuktsher Peninsula, Kamtchatka, Sakhalin, North America.
