Very common in the Altaian, in moist, grass-grown, and partly irrigated habitats, 

 where, in places, nearly exclusively covering the ground over large tracts. The stems 

 generally 20 to 30 cm. high, with one very short leaf, at a height from the ground of 

 about one third of the stem. Gathered in full flower at the end of July. 



Distribution: Europe, Caucasia, south-western and central Asia, Siberia, northern 

 Mongolia, eastern Asia, Japan, North America.

Scattered on the Abakan Steppe, near Askys, in not too dry, grass-grown places, 

 accompanying Adenophora liliifolia, Atraphaxis frutescens, and others, where gathered 

 flowering in the second half of June. Bather common in woods and thickets of foliferous 

 trees in the Urjankai country, ascending in alpine situations to above the limit of tree 

 vegetation. Ust Sisti-kem, the Kamsara, on the Tara-kem, and near the Dora Steppe. 



The bulb, being about 5 cm. long, is used for food by the natives of the Urjankai 

 country. It is drawn up by means of an instrument especially made for the purpose, 

 and after being dried by the sun, is mixed up with reindeer's or cow's milk. Such 

 dried roots are called «Kandick». The bulb of Erythronium dens canis L. is employed 

 in the same way. 



The specimens gathered are distinguished by their comparatively narrow leaves, 

 from 7 — 9 cm. long, and on an average from 12 — 18 mm. broad. The Siberian specimens 

 of this species which I had occasion to see in the herbarium of the Imperial Botanical 

 Gardens in Petrograd, have also mostly the leaves narrower than the Norwegian mate- 

 rial I have had for comparison. The upper parts of the plants and the outside of the 

 perianth leaves are more or less densely covered with long, tattered hairs. The leaf- 

 like bracts are more or less densely hairy, in particular underneath and at the margin. 

 The leaves usually hairy only at the margin. These marginal hairs are gradually reduced 

 downwards, appearing only as small papillae at the margin of the lower leaves. 



Distribution: Europe, Trans Caucasia, Turkestan, Siberia, northwards towards 69 " 

 in latitude, northern Mongolia, Japan (an culta?).
