This one, which is set up first as a distinct species by Gunnak Samuelsson in 1918, 

 I have found to be rather common in the Altaian, where collected by me in grass- 

 grown places, above the tree limit, at an altitude of about 2000 m. above sea-level, 

 with ripe capsules at the end of July. The author, who has revised my material, in- 

 forms me that my specimens taken here agree perfectly with the typical form. 



Distribution: Europe (Scandinavia and the Alps), Sayansk mountains, China. 



Luzula spec, (an nova?) 



L. mulliflorae valde affinis, sed differt tepalis fuconigris, capsulis acuminatis, 

 stylis brevioribus. 



In alpine tracts of the Altaian I have found some specimens most likely belong- 

 ing to a new species allied to L. mulliflora, but differing from the typical European one 

 by its darker perianth leaves, pointed capsule, and shorter style. 



Taken together with the two preceding ones in grass-grown places, with ripe fruits 

 at the end of July. 



In exotic tracts are no doubt to be found a whole succession of obscure forms 

 belonging to the Luzula campestris group. Several of these may be new species, but 

 the material is to insignificant to allow a reliable decision.

Occurring in moist, grass-grown places in the taiga, about the Upper Amyl, the 

 Algiac and Sisti-kem rivers, where, in places, being one of the most characterislic 

 plants. The species begins flowering about the middle of July. 



Distribution: Europe, north-western Asia, Siberia,"northern Mongolia, eastern Asia.
