This plant has not been observed heretofore in Siberia at all, and is not to be found 

 inserted in any of the floras relating to these regions within my reach. Korshinsky, 

 Tentamen Florae Rossiae Orientalis, St. Petersbourg 1898, p. 193, also declares: „Planta 

 europaea, in Sibiria plane deesse videtur." I have collected some young specimens, no 

 doubt belonging to this species, in dry meadows on an islet in the Yenisei, near Ust Aba- 

 kansk. 



Distribution: Europe, except the extreme north, Caucasia and south-western Asia, 

 southern Siberia (hitherto only in the Minusinsk district). North America (adventive 

 from Europe).
