Of very common occurrence on the islets and along the banks of the rivers Yenisei 

 and Abakan, where flowering in the second half of May and the first half of June. The 

 petals frequently appear to be remarkably deep and argute serrulate at the margin. The 

 last year's branches are generally glabrous; at this time, however, may be found, here and 

 there, smaller hairy parts. The leaves are glabrous beneath, only in the angles between 

 the veins with a tuft of rust-coloured or white hairs. Thus, the specimens agree perfectly 

 with the European form. The branches of the trees are not unfrequently somewhat pen- 

 dent /. pendula Dippel (Handb. Laubholzk. I (1906) p. 640). In the Urjankai country the 

 species is also of very common occurrence on the banks of the rivers Sisti-kem, Tara- 

 kem, Kamsara, Bei-kem, and Ulu-kem. The fruits ripen in August. 



Distribution: Northern and middle Europe, the Caucasus, Siberia, Mongolia, Rus- 

 sian Turkestan, the Himalayas, eastern Asia.
