The species was rather frequently met with by me in the regions of southern 

 Siberia and the Urjankai country, where especially occurring about habitations, by 

 road-sides, on the borders of fields, etc., such as about Minusinsk, and in several 

 places between Minusinsk and Kushabar. The species appears to be rather varying 

 here as well as in Europe. By the investigations of Murr and Ludwig, some forms 

 have proved to be constant when produced from seed, and others have not. The mate- 

 rial collected by me early in summer, in June and at the beginning of July, is too 

 young to make possible an absolutely certain determination, the more so as the species 

 here in Asia, no doubt in part at least, occurs under other forms than in Europe. 



Distribution: Occurring in all parts of the world, except the arctic regions. In
