In saliferous soil, near Ust Kamuishto, associated with various halophilous plants. 

 In flower and with fruits at the end of June. 



Together with the typical form I have collected some specimens differing espe- 

 cially in their long, narrow leaves, only about l!4 mm. broad, relaxed, of a deep green. 

 The leaves are nearly as long as the culms. The number of the spikes commonly 3, 

 short, and more loosely flowered. The perigynia when ripe, are of a dark brown colour, 

 with very prominent nerves, and with a broad, deeply 2-cleft beak, with rather much 

 divergent teeth. For the rest, agreeing with the typical form. According to the descrip- 

 tion in Meinshausen 1. c. (1901) p. 381, this form resembles rather much van 

 chorgosica (Meinshausen spec), which is recorded, however, to have considerably 

 broader leaves and a greater number of spikes. 



Distribution: South-eastern Europe, Caucasia, south-western and western Asia to 

 Turkestan and Afghanistan, Cashmere, Siberia eastwards to Dahuria.
