The specimens collected of this rather varying species, are characterized by 'having 

 the upper parts of the stem, the pedicels, and the calyces woolly, and rather densely beset 

 with long-stalked glandular hairs, by which character these specimens much recall var. 

 campanulatum Th. Fr. The specimens, however, are always very flowery, with a much 

 branched flower-cluster; the lobes of the corolla are subotuse at the top, not distinctly 

 acutish, with glabrate margins. This margin of the petals is entire, or only very slightly 

 and irregularly serrate, only here and there furnished with a single or some few scattered 

 hairs. The flowers are comparatively small, the corolla 12 — 15 mm. long. 



Scattered in thickets in the -subalpine wooded tracts about the Upper Amyl, on the 

 Sisti-kem, and at Ust Kamsara. In the Altaian I have found it up to the tree limit. In full 

 flower in July. 



Distribution: Europe, except the most southern portions, northern and temperate 

 parts of Asia, southwards to the Himalayas and northern China, Sakhalin, Japan, North 

 America (Alaska).

Pretty common in the Minusinsk district and in the tracts along the rivers Yenisei 

 and Abakan, where occurring on dry, stony steppes. Not observed anywhere in abun- 

 dance by me. Generally occurring singly, scattered on the steppes, where reaching con- 

 siderably higher than the surrounding low steppe vegetation, and — being, besides, of a
