This species is very nearly allied to Aiieiiiisid cdiiipcsliis L , and is distinguished 

 from it only by eoni[)aiatively trite characters, occurring as a subsliluli' lor Ibis species 

 in eastern Asia. All ot llic specimens collected are rallicr densely pubesceni, willi 

 rather small heads, the length of which is about 2—2,5 mm.; tiicy Ibcrefore belong lo 

 /'. nllnica Krylow, 1. e. Occurring scattered on the Abakan Steppe, near Ust Kamui.shto, 

 especially on dry, stony slopes, where I have collected it with young, as yet not fully 

 developed heads in the second half of June. 



Distribution: Southern Siberia, roughly from the Altai region, northw-ards to about

On stony and gravelly river-banks, and on islets in the river Abakan, near Ust 

 Abakansk. Specimens collected in the last days of June, arc young, scarcely 20 cm. 

 high, and completely flowerless. The specimens are characteristic in being densely 

 silky-pubescent all over, and I therefore consider them to be identical with /'. villosa Frof..

 nosis — do not seem lo be different from /'. sericea Komarow, ikr. MaubUHjypiii HI
