This species is pretty common on islets in the river Abakan, and on the Abakan 

 Steppe, especially in dry meadows, on stony declivities, etc. As all of the specimens col- 

 lected, taken in the second half of June, only are young and flowerless, I have not been 

 able to settle with any definiteness which forms of this much varying species occur here. 

 I have, besides, observed this species in the Urjankai country — in the wooded steppe 

 regions — on dry, open declivities at Ust Kamsara, and at list Tara-kem. 



Distribution: Eastern Russia, Siberia, eastwards to the Sea of Okhotsk, northern 

 Mongolia, eastern parts of Turkestan, Pamir, Tibet, northern India, Manchooria, Corea, 

 China, Sakhalin.

Pretty common on the islets in the Lower Abakan and in the Yenisei, near Ust 

 Abakansk, where especially occurring in dry meadows. Specimens taken in the month of 

 June are as yet young and flowerless. They agree, however, perfectly with specimens I 

 have seen in the herbarium of the Imperial Botanical Gardens in Petrograd. In the 

 Urjankai country I have observed the species on declivities at Ust Tara-kem. 



Distribution: Eastern portion of middle Europe, southern Siberia, eastwards to the 

 Amoor Province, northern Mongolia, south-western Asia to Turkestan, Tibet and north- 

 western India, Manchooria, northern Corea, northern China.
