Specimens of the typical plant I have 

 found in open, dry places in the Amyl taiga 

 and at Ust Algiac, flowering in July. Besides, 

 I have collected rather frequently small spe- 

 cimens, agreeing perfectly with material I 

 have seen in the herbarium of the Imperial 

 Botanical Gardens in Petrograd, designated 

 by KoRsiiiNSKV himself as Adenophora lilii- 

 folia I'oiina genuina modif. nana Korsh. 

 This small and very characteristic plant is 

 veiy common on the Abakan Steppe, in the 

 tracts between Askys and Ust Abakansk, 

 where collected by me in several places, 

 especially along dried up hrooks' courses, in 

 thickets, among stones and gravel, and in 

 similar localities. 



The whole plant is completely glabrous. 

 The stem is simple, generally 10 — 15 cm., 

 rarely up to 20 cm. high, bearing generally 

 only 1 terminal, nodding flower, rarely 2 — 3 

 farther down the stem. The sessile leaves, 

 which are nearly clasping at the base, lan- 

 ceolate, shaiply denticulate at the margin, 

 with appressed teeth, are 2 — 3,5 cm. long, and 

 to 5 mm. broad, with a distinct midrib. The 

 leaves are generally rather approximate, 

 especially so in the lower parts of the stem, 

 where also the broadest leaves are to be 

 found, becoming upwards gradually more
