1, Bumex, 
By Ove Paulsen. 
My specimens of this genus have been in St. Petersburg since 1902 
but have now been returned to me, provisionally identified by Mr. W. J. 
Lipsky. I do not agree always with his determinations. 
1. R.crispus L. (After Lipsky: R. orientalis). 
Pamir, prov. Wakhan, in cultivated land at Langarkisht. 
The valves are typical, one of them bears a tubercle. The leaves are 
not much crispate. 
2. R. orientalis Bernh. Bois. fl. or. IV p. 1009, Hook. fl. brit. Ind. 
V p. 58. 
Of this species I have had only specimens, cultivated some years 
ago in the botanical garden at Copenhagen. The seeds were collected 
in October 1898 in Pamir, prov. Goran, at Kuh-i-lal, in an altitude of 
2600 M. Seeds were collected from two plants, one (N. 1523) very 
dense-panicled growing on moist ground, another (N. 1524) with a lax 
panicle, growing on more dry ground. Both plants were about 2 m. high. 
The seeds were almost equal, the valves of 1524 larger and without 
tubercles, those of 1523 smaller and one of them bearing a tubercle. 
In the cultivated plants the same differences were to be found, only 
the plants after 1523 in the second year lost the tubercles. 1524 has 
cordate leaves broader than those of 1523 and is, except for the very 
lax panicle, and cordate leaves, rather like R. domesticus Hartm., while 
1523 resembles R. crispus L. more. The same characters as in 1524 
(lax panicle, broad, cordate leaves, broad valves without tubercles) has 
N. 339, collected by me in cultivated land at Osh in the province of 
Ferghana. This is after Mr. Lipsky: R. obtusifolius. I identify the plants 
as R. orientalis because of the cordate leaves of the one form and of 
the presence of tubercle of the other. Also Mr. Lipsky (in litt.) is
