Very common in meadows and in thickets on the islets in the rivers Yenisei and 

 Abakan as well as on banks of rivers, where, in the flowering season, in the second half 

 of May and the first half of June, being one of the very prettiest and most characteristic 

 plants. Frequently occurring here, associated with plants such as Taraxacum, Andro- 

 saces septenirionale, etc., here and there so abundantly as to give the whole meadow a 

 white appearance. In the Urjankai country collected by me, on the Sisti-kem as well, 

 in meadows in woods, with ripe fruits about the middle of August. 



The Siberian specimens collected, are distinguished by their vigorous growth, 

 with stems to 40 cm. high, with large flowers, to 7 cm. in diameter. The shape of the 

 sepals nearly obovate, the margin even, or finely crenate. The shining white flowers 

 very conspicuously turn to the sun, and turn in proportion as the day advances. The 

 involucral leaves are long-petioled. Smarted, each of the lateral segments generally deeply 

 cleft into 2 narrow, lanceolate, nearly entire, or slightly toothed divisions. The middle 

 one is generally 3-lobed, into one larger middle lobe and 2 shorter side-lobes, or it may
