This species is very common in the territory traversed, especially in slightly moist 

 soil, where occurring in a series of different forms, between which there are to be found 

 intermediate types. Besides the typical plant, the following main forms seemed to be 

 separable in the material collected: /'. asiatica Decne. et /. minima Dkcne. Collected 

 flowei'ing in June on the Abakan Steppe, near habitations, on islets in the rivers Aba- 

 kan and Yenisei, about Minusinsk, in several places along the road to Kushabar, on the 

 banks of the river Amyl, and in court-yards in the Amyl taiga. Also found in the Urjan-

In moist grass-field on the borders of the salt-lake Tagarski osero, together with 

 Aster Tripoliiim. Planta(/o maritima subspec. ciliata, Saiissiirea crassifolia, Lepidiitm cnts- 

 sifoliiim, Trif/lochin maritima. and other halophilous plants, and scattered on the steppes 

 about the Ulu-kem. Collected flowering at the beginning of July. 



As compared with Reichenbach's illustration of this species in Icon. Fl. Germ. 

 XVn, f. 1708, III, the specimens collected are distinguished by having the blades of the 

 leaves comparatively narrower and longer. The leaves are oblong, narrowed into the 

 petioles, not abruptly rounded or subcordatc at the base, subacute at the apex, 9—12 cm. 

 long, and 3,5—5 cm. broad. 



Distribution: Southern Europe, from southern France through northern Italy, Dal-
