Number of flowers 1 or 2, on scapes 1 — 1,5 cm. 

 high. The flowers 0,5—0,8 cm. in diameter. The 

 whole plant is rather densely hairy, and the scape 

 also furnished with scattered, glandular hairs. The 

 specimens belong to /'. genuina R Knuth, 1. c. p. 193. 

 raken on dry, stony declivities on the steppe, near 

 Karatus. Most of the specimens with ripe capsules,

var. typica Knulh, 1. c. (1905) p. 215. 



Agrees rather perfectly with Scandinavian specimens. The scapes, howewer, are as 

 a rule numerous, generally 2 — 4, only verj' rareh' solitary; the petals also generally pro- 

 ject about 1 mm. above the calyx. Scattered in dry, sandy meadows on islets in the rivers 

 Yenisei and Abakan, and on the steppes about Minusinsk. In full flower and in part past 

 flowering in June and July. In the Urjankai country I have found the species in dry, 

 sandy woods, near Ust Sisti-kem. 



Distribution: Europe, northwards to about 63° north lat., temperate and northern 

 Asia (northwards, at Taimur, to 74° north lat., southwards to Tibet and Cashmere, east- 

 wards to Kamtchatka and the Amoor Province), North America.
