This species has been collected by me on dry hill-sides near Kushabar, where 

 flowering in the middle of July. This small-flowered species is very nearly allied to 

 Euphrasia latifolia Pirsch, occurring in arctic America and arctic Europe. 



Distribution: Southern and middle Europe, Caucasia, and south-western Asia to 

 Tibet and the Himalayas, Siberia, eastwards to the Amoor Province, Manchooria, Corea,

On hill-slopes at Kushabar, partly together with the preceding one, and in the 

 Amyi valley, at Kalna. In flower in the middle of July. 



Distribution: Southern and middle Europe, south-western Asia, Siberia, northern 

 Mongolia. In the extreme east of Asia it is replaced by the nearly allied Euphrasia amii-

 this genus, makes the following obseiwation on the specimens: „They do not agree very
