var. stenopetalus Kegel, 1. c. p. 57; Hutli, 1. c. p. 3. 



Very common in the Altaian, in alpine situations up to 2000 m. above sea-level, 

 where one of the prettiest plants, with large flowers, to 5 cm. wide, of a darkish yellow 

 to an orange colour. This variety is especially distinguished from the preceding one by 

 its considerably large flowers, of a deeper colour. Occurring in moist, partly irrigated 

 places, on mountain rivulets, etc., accompanying Caltha palustris, Aquilegia glandulosa, 

 Aconiium laeve. Allium Schoenoprasum, and others. In full flower at the end of July. 



Distribution: Eastern Russia, Russian Turkestan, northern MongoHa (the Sayansk 

 district).

On the steppe between Minusinsk and Ust Abakansk, near habitations. In flower 

 and with fruits at the beginning of June. Number of follicles generally 10, more rarely 

 12 or 13. 



Distribution: Siberia, eastwards to the Amoor Province, northern and eastern 

 Mongolia, Manchooria and northern Tibet. Of late also in France and Belgium 



(KOMAROW).

This species occurs in the Altaian from the limit of tree vegetation or somewhat 

 lower, up to 2000 or 2100 m. above sea-level. With its splendid, large flowers of a deep 

 blue, the diameter of which I have found to be up to 11 cm., it is one of the very prettiest 

 and most conspicuous alpine plants of this region. In places, especially on somewhat 

 moist mountain sides, it abounds, so as to cover the ground, here and there nearly 

 exclusively, over large tracts of land. It is also frequently associated with the large- 

 flowered Trollius asiaticus var. stenopetalus, and Caltha palustris. The stems are gener- 

 ally 50 cm. high, the lower part glabrous, and the upper part more or less hairy. Taken 

 with fully opened flowers at the end of July. 



Distribution: Through southern Siberia and northern Mongolia from the Thian- 

 Shan, eastwards through the Altai region and the Sayansk district to about Lake Baikal.
