Not unfrequent in moist thickets, etc., on islets in the Lower Abakan. Collected 

 with flowers and buds at the end of June, and with nearly ripe fruits, near Kushabar, in 

 the middle of July. In the Urjankai country I have met with this species in several places 

 on the rivers Bei-kem and Ulu-kem. 



In Siberia the above variety occurs nearly exclusively; it is recorded to differ from 

 the typical plant by its entire leaves, with a cordiform base, being destitute of lobes. In 

 the material brought home from Asia, there occur, however, specimens having one or 

 several leaves incised at the base, on one side or on both, thus, much recalling the 

 typical plant in the shape of the leaves. In my material, for the rest, there are to be 

 found specimens agreeing in all characters with Norwegian ones, and there seemed to 

 occur all intermediates between these 2 varieties. In the structure of the flowers and the 

 berries, both varieties also seemed to agree perfectly. The leaves are always more or 

 less, sometimes rather much hairy, especially so on the under sides. 



Distribution: The species is distributed nearly all over Europe, except the most 

 northern regions, Caucasia and south-western Asia to the Himalayas, Siberia, northwards 

 to about 65>^° north lat, eastwards to the Amoor Province, and throughout eastern 

 Asia, northern Mongolia, Japan, North Africa. In Asia prevails var. persicum. The species 

 also occurs in America, introduced from Europe.

Pretty common all over the territory traversed of southern Siberia, where occur- 

 ring in waste places in the outskirts of the towns and villages, in their streets and court- 

 yards: at Minusinsk and Ust Abakansk, on declivities near the river, not far from Askys, 

 at Ust Kamuishto, Karatus, and Kushabar. In full flower in June. 



Distribution: Europe, except the most northern regions, Caucasia and south-western 

 Asia to the Himalayas and Tibet, Siberia, northwards to about 59%° north lat., and east- 

 wards to the Amoor Province, Manchooria, northern China, north-eastern Mongolia, 

 Tibet, North Africa, North America (introduced from Europe).
