than in the typical species, shai'ply serrulate at the margin. The flowers have short, but 

 distinct pedicels to 5 mm. long, distinctly stiiate, glabrous or sparingly puberulent. The 

 calyx ratlier deeply split into 5 long, linear lobes of unequal length, acute or mucronu- 

 late at the top, frequently rather much surpassing the tube in length, glabrous or some- 

 times ciliate. The 3 lobes of the lower lip are slightly emarginate at the top, not round- 

 ed as in the typical species, slightly ciliate. The style is rather much projecting. The 

 lower bracts are foliaceously developed, gradually decreasing in size upwards, but always 

 considerably longer than in the typical species, and much exceeding the calyx, generally 

 ciHate at the base, glabrous for the rest. Save for the raceme proper, the stem and the

leaves are completely glabrous, more or less shining, when pressed, at any rate, nearly 

 black. Collected in full flower at the end of July, in the Altaian, on subalpine mountain 

 slopes, near the tree limit. 



Distribution: The species is distributed in Siberia, from the eastern part of the 

 Altai and in the Sayansk mountains, northwards to towards 71° north lat., eastwards to 

 Trans Baikal, northern Mongolia.
