It appears from the material collected that the species varies much, especially iu 

 the breadth of the leaves, which are partly 1-nerved, partly broader, and 3-nerved. Some 

 specimens are very luxuriant, with stems up to 70 — 80 cm. high, glabrate. or more or less 

 densely glandular. The density and the floweriness of the panicle is also much varying. 

 The species occurs scattered on the Abakan Steppe, especially on the borders of fields, 

 etc., at Askys, Ust Kamuishto, Kushabar. and in the Amyl valley, near Kalna. AVith 

 flowers and flower-buds in June. 



Distribution: Europe, except the extreme north and south, Caucasia and south- 

 western Asia, Siberia, in the Yenisei valley northwards to 68K'° noith lat., and eastwards 

 to the Amoor Pro\'ince, northern Mongolia, Manchooria, Corea, China. Sakhalin. Intro- 

 duced into North America.

Pretty common on the Abakan Steppe, where I have collected it in dry, stony places, 

 on rocks, etc., near Ust Abakansk and near Askys, with flowers in the first half of June. 

 The specimens collected have very narrow leaves, only about 1 mm. broad, and I there- 

 fore refer it to /. angnstifolio Kuvl. 1. c. 



Distribution: The species is distiibuted from northern Germany, through south- 

 eastern Europe and south-western Asia, roughly to Pamir and .\fghanistan, southern Sibe- 

 ria, eastwards to the Yenisei.

Of this one I have only some few specimens in my collections, taken among 

 shrubs, and in waste places, near the village of Kushabar, and at Kalna. In full flower 

 in the middle of July. The specimens collected have the corolla comparatively very 

 small, being only 6 mm. long, and the calyx also seemed to be less deeply indented than 

 is common in the Scandina^^an material of comparison. The material, however, is. of 

 course, so scarce that I have not been able to form a well-founded opinion on the syste- 

 matic value of this character. 



Distribution: Nearly all over Europe, except the most northern and southern parts. 

 Caucasia and adjacent portions of Asia, Siberia, in the Yenisei valley, northwards to about 

 BO"" north lat.. and eastwards roughlv to the Yenisei.
