var. glandulosum Ldb. 1. c. 



Pamir, N. 1046, near the lake Jashil Kul, at a stream. Alt, 3800 m . 

 Aug. 8. 1898. 



var. saxatile (Kar. Kir.) Rgl. I.e. G. saxatile Kar. Kir. Enum. Song.

Pamir: N. 1082, on moist slopes near the lake Jashil Kul. Alt. 

 4000 » Aug. 11. 1898. 



These two forms are resembling each other, and perhaps N. 1046 

 too ought to be referred to var. saxatile, (of which I have seen the original 

 specimens,) but the peduncles are rather short. 



var. alpinum Rgl. 1. c, Komarow 1. c. 



Ferghana: N. 358, on hills at Issik Bulak near the river Langar. 

 June 16. 1898. 



My specimen is not the true var. alpinum Rgl. being rather big and 

 abundant, nor are the leaves „pagina superiore pilosa, inferiore subglabra 

 canescente" (Komarow), but on both sides slightly pilose. The plant is 

 almost stemless, and the flowers are large. 



var. candidum Komarow 1. c. 



Alai mountains: N. 420, at Sufi Kurgan. Alt. 2100 m . June 

 18. 1898, — Pamir: N. 1182, near the lake Jashil Kul. Alt. 3900 m . 

 Aug. 29. 1898. 



The latter is a small caespitose form, nearly stemless. The sepals 

 are tinged with red. I have no doubt that it is to be referred to this 

 variety although it differs in some degree from Mr. Komarow' s specimens, 

 which I have seen in Petersburg. 



var. wakhanicum n. var. 



Caules flexuosi, internodia longa (usque ad 15 cm ) pilis sparsis albis 

 retrorsis vestita, folia praecipue in nervis sparse pilosa, inferiora longe- 

 petiolata superior a brevepetiolata vel sessïlia, quinquepartita segmentis 

 cuneatis apice sœpius trilobatis, lobis acutis. Pedunculi sœpius longissimi 

 (3 — 15 cm ) biflori, pedicelli breves (2 — 3 cm ) glanduloso-hirti vel (rarius) 

 depresso - pilosi. Sepala prœcipue in nervis adpresse setulosa y petala 

 rosea. 



Pamir: Prov. Wakhan, n. 1275, in cultivated land at Langarkisht, 

 alt. 3000 m . Sept. 8. 1898; N. 1391, in a ravine at Torgus, alt. 2800 m . 

 Sept. 19. 1898; prov. Garan: N. 1501, at a stream near Darmaraght, alt. 

 2400 m . Oct. 10. 1898. 



This seems to be a form growing on moist ground. In habitus it is 

 very characteristic.
