beyond in North America, Iceland, North Scandinavia, Siberia, 

 Ural- and Altai-mountains and in Himalaya (Fig. 11). 

 To this species belong: 



Draba algida Adams. Leaves only ciliate, the plant 

 being otherwise glabrous. I have seen original specimens from 

 the mouth of the river Lena. 



Draba oblongata R. Br. (Fig. 12). The covering of the 

 leaves very dense, but they are only ciliated at the base. 

 Flowers generally small with narrow petals. Stem and pods 



hairy. Synonyms are according to Th. Fries (in Botaniska 

 Notiser 1873 , p. 34) : Draba lasiocarpa Adams, D. Adamsii 

 Ledeb., D.leptopetala Th. Fr., D.astyla Bunge, D.pauciflora 

 R. Br. and D. micropetala Hook. 



Draba pilosa a , oreades Regel is D. alpina with very 

 broad almost circular pods. As synonyms Regel quotes 

 D.pauciflora R. Br. and D. oreades Schenk. Ledebour has 

 identified D. pilosa Adams with D. algida. Regel has quoted 

 the plant as a separate species, but under this combined
