Of rather common occurrence on islets in llic Lower .\l)akan. in waste places and 

 near the fields of the Abakan 4"alars. The specimens exhibit lalliei considerable varia- 

 tions as to the shape, length, and breadth of the leaves, the length of the internode.s, the 

 whole plant being also much varying in roughness. These characters arc, in some measure, 

 due lo \arialions in the condilions of life. I)ul tlic specimens surely also belong to several 

 different systematical forms. In this case, the forms in ([ueslion cannot be settled defini- 

 tely, as all the specimens, collected in the month of June, are very young, wanting 

 flowers and fruits, without which a relialile determination is impracticable. 



Distribution: Nearly all over Europe and Asia, North Africa, southwards lo Kanie- 

 run, introduced into North and South America and Australia.

Not unfrequent in marshes and wet places on the islets in the river .\bakan. about 

 Kushabar, in several places in the Amyl taiga, and at Ust Algiac, where occurring 

 together with Goliiiin pdliislre. moreover, at Ust Sisti-kem and I'st Kamsara. Specimens 

 from the various localities differ rather considerably in the length and solidity of the stems, 

 in the shape and size as well as in the length of the cups of the leaves. Collected flower- 

 ing and with fruits in Julv and .\ugust. 



Distribution: Over the greater part o[ Europe, Turkestan. Siberia, in the Y'enisei 

 valley northwards to 70 20' north lal.. and ea.stwards roughly lo the river Lena, north- 

 ern Mongolia.
