Rather common in grassy places on the islets in the rivers Yenisei and Abakan, 

 where collected by me in full flower 

 at the beginning of June. The speci- 

 mens are very large and well-grown, 

 to 30 cm. high, the calyx-lobes com- 

 paratively short, only from 7^ to */« of 

 the length of the calyx, subacutish 

 at the top. The tube is of a deep 

 yellow colour, projecting 1 — 1,5 mm. 

 beyond the calyx. The petiole, the 

 under side of the leaves, the bracts, 

 the pedicels, and the calyx are dense- 

 ly mealy, of a yellowish green. 



Distribution: Over the greater 

 part of Europe, southern Siberia, in 

 the Altai and Baikal regions, north- 

 ern Mongolia, North America.

The leaves in the specimens collected vary rather much. The common shape is 

 oblong to spatulate-lanceolate, 5—8 cm. long, 1,2 — 2 cm. broad, with a subobtuse or 

 subacute apex. The margin is mostly entire or only slightly serrulate. The scape is from 

 30 — 45 cm. high, from 5 — 7 times as long as the leaves. The flowers numerous, 20 —
