Common on the Abakan Steppe, especially on dry, sunny rocks, in gravel and sand, 

 together with plants as Patrinia sibirica, Phelipaea lanuginosa. Campanula sibirica, etc. 

 Collected in full flower in the month of June. This plant is used by the natives, the Mongo- 

 lian Abakan Tatars, as incense, during their shaman feasts. The species is also rather 

 frequent in the Urjankai country, especially in the wooded steppe region, where I have 

 met with it at Ust Sisti-kem, Ust Kamsara, and at Ust Tara-kem, on open declivities, in 

 dry, sandy larch forest, and the like. The specimens collected seem, at any rate partly, 

 to belong to var. angustifolius Ledeb. 



Distribution: Europe, south-western and northern parts of Asia, northwards in the 

 Yenisei valley to about 72° north lat, and eastwards to Kamtchatka, the Amoor Pro- 

 vince, Manchooria, Corea and northern China, southwards to Tibet the Himalayas and
