Very common in the woods about the Upper Amyl from Kushabar southwards, 

 and scattered in the Urjankai country about the rivers Algiac and Sisti-kem. Only a few 

 specimens in flower, most of them past flowering, and with nearly ripe fruits, in the 

 middle of July. 



Distribution: North-eastern Russia, Siberia, from the Ural eastwards to Lake 

 Baikal, Turkestan, northern Mongolia.

Rather common in thickets, on the islets in the Yenisei and Abakan rivers, where it 

 begins flowering at the beginning of June. Observed by me at Karatus and Kushabar, in 

 the Amyl taiga and in the Urjankai counlrj' about the Sisti-kem, and near Kamsara, 

 among brush-wood, on dry, stony slopes, and the like. This subspecies, occurring only in 

 the eastern part of the geographical area of the species, is distinguished from the typi- 

 cal form chiefly by its very long pedicels, from 5 to 10 cm. long, moreover by its broad, 

 obtuse, frequently oval bracts, and large petals, to 1,6 cm. long, the apex often being 

 more or less crenate. The ripe capsules are generally considerably shorter than the 

 pedicels. All of the specimens gathered are nearly completely glabrous, as regards the 

 stem and calyx, only the under side of the leaves being sparingly furnished with long, 

 scattered hairs. 



Distribution: Siberia, Dzungaria, Manchooria, China, Japan, Sakhalin.
