Not uncommon on open, wooded mountain slopes, and the like, in the suhalpine 

 tracts of the Sayansk mountains: near Kushabar. in the .\myl valley, at Ust Algiac, UsI 

 Sisti-kem, and in the Altaian. Collected flowering and partly with capsules in July and 

 the first half of August. 



Besides the typical species, I have collected, in suhalpine wooded tracts in the 

 .Altaian, about the Upper Sisti-kem, a series of specimens differing in various charat'ters 

 from the typical plant, I separate the latter under the name of

It is chiefly by the rather long, unequal calyx-lobes, distinctly acuminate or even 

 mucronate at the top, by the long, sometimes foliaceous bracts, by com|)aratively longer 

 pedicels, and the 3 lobes of the lower lip being slightly cmarginate thai this subspecies 

 differs from the typical plant. The stem is furnished at the liase with large. withering, mem- 

 branous, brown leaf-sheaths or scales, to 2 — 3 cm. long. The petioles of the basal leaves are 

 about !4 as long as the blade, the upper leaves more shortly petioled, the uppermost ones 

 sessile. The leaves are also gradually decreasing in size up the stem, passing by degrees 

 into the bracts, of which the lower ones, at any rate, are large and foliaceously develop- 

 ed. The segments of the leaves are lanceolate, generally somewhat broader and closer
