Scattered in subalpine meadows in woods about the Upper Amyl, where frequently 

 occurring together with Veratruin album. In full flower in July.

The specimens collected by me, belong to the form described by Turczaninow, 1. 

 c. under f. «. The stems are erect, from 50 to 60 cm. high, generally branched only 

 above the middle. The leaves are divided into narrowly linear segments, about 1 

 or 1,5 mm. broad, in their whole length equally broad, and pointed towards the sum- 

 mit. The length of the spur is about 15 or 16 mm., the average breadth about 2,5 mm. 

 The whole plant is covered with rather dense, short, and appressed hairs. 



Common among dry sand, and in dry, open woods of Pinus siluestris, about Minu- 

 sinsk and the village of Buistraja, in similar situations near Tagarski osero as well as 

 at Ust Abakansk. Here and there it is associated with Chamaerhodos erecta and 

 Scabiosa ochroleuca. In full flower and with flower-buds in the first half of July. 



Distribution: Southern Siberia, from about the Altai and the Yenisei, eastwards to 

 the Amoor Province, Manchooria, Mongolia, northern China, Corea. According to Huth 

 1. c, this plant also occurs about Washington, a report also entered by Komabow, 

 $ji. MaHBqffiypin II (1903) p. 248 as well, adding, however, a sign of interrogation.

In thickets on the river Abakan, near Ust Abakansk. This species, however, is 

 especially frequent about Kushabar, on somewhat moist, not unfrequently shady moun- 

 tain sides, and in the subalpine tracts of land on the Upper Amyl, where, in places, in 

 glades, making up dense associations, not easily penetrable, where the stems may 

 exceed considerably the height of a man, towards some 3 m. high, or even more. It 

 is here frequently associated with Veratrum album and Heracleum dissectum. In full 

 flower in July. 



Distribution: Middle Europe, from the Pyrenees to the west, Russia and Russian 

 Turkestan, Siberia, except the extreme east. In eastern Asia replaced by Delphinium
