Pretty common in somewhat moist meadows, and in thickets on islets in the rivers 

 Yenisei and Abakan, frequent between Karatus and Kushabar, in the Amyl taiga, about 

 the SLsti-kem, and at Ust Algiac. The species begins flowering about the middle of .lune. 



Distribution: Nearly throughout Europe and Asia, in tlie Yenisei valley northwards 

 lo about 65° noilh lal.. and southwards to the north ol India. North .\frica. North

It appears from the material collected that this species varies considerably as to the 

 shape of the leaves and the length of the petioles; the margin of the leaves is generally 

 more or less distinctly and deeply serrate, with appressed teeth (/'. crcnala Fheyn), more 

 rarely completely entire. The base of the leaves either slightly cimeale. more or less 

 square cut, or cordate, whereby the leaves may sometimes bear resemblance to the 

 nearly allied S. galeiiculald L. They differ, however, from the latter by having. always 

 the under side of Ihe leaves more or less distinctly glandular, and as for the flowers, 

 they are generally considerably larger than in the said species. The stems and the leaves 

 are completely glabrous or nearly so (/". snhglabra Kom.xh.). or. at times, densely hairy 

 (/■. pubcscens Reoel). The corolla is 1,8—2,3 cm. in length. The tube is in its lower 

 part, right above the calyx, nearly rectangularly curved, whereby the flowers, during the 

 flowering, take up a nearly vertical position.
