lineas longa, undique ciHato-scabra, superficie vero glabra. Bractea exterior vix 2'" exce-

A. viride vel vix glaucescens, impresso -punctatum minutissime calcareo-lepidotum, 
dense erinaceum; ramis subelongatis foliis persistentibus patentissimis vel reversis 
horridis, foliis rigide acerosis trigonis, scapis plerumque brevissimis pubescentibus 
monostachyis, spicis oblongis dense distichis compressis 5 — 8 - spiculatis, rachi 
puberula , bracteis glabris exteriore crassiuscule cuspidata interioribus calycis 
tubum superantibus obtusis bifidisve costis vix prominulis breviore, calycis (472'" 
long!) tubo ba,si glaberrimo extus ad faucem inter nervös patulo-hispidulo limbum 
albo-hyalinum obsolete 5-lobum superante, nervis atropurpureis ad apices loborum 
productis glabris. 
Hab. in cacuminibus alpium Alatau (Schrenck!), in alpibus Alatau transiliensibus in 
jugo Dürenyn-Assy et in alpibus Tian-schan in valle Sauku, 6000' s. m. (Semenow!), in 
alveo lapidoso ostii torrentis exsiccati in rivulum Dshaman-daban influentis, in alpibus Tian- 
schan australioribus (Osten Sacken!) v. s. sp. 
Fruticulosum, rami crassiusculi, folia vetusta fusco-rufescentia, hornotina e basi dila- 
tata castaneo-fusca lucida dense ciliata subtrigona, supra plana, margine tenuissime serru- 
lato-scabra 7 — 8"' longa, supra basin %"'lata. Scapi plerumque intra bases foliorum occulti, 
bracteis tecti. Bractea exterior ovata, coriaceo-herbacea fuscescenti-viridis, margine sur- 
sum hyaline membranacea, purpureo cuspidata, 2"'parum excedens, dorso modice carinata; 
iüteriores a basi acutissime purpureo carinatae, superne praeter carinam albo-hyalinae, 
intima 3"' longa, intermedia paulo brevior. Calycis tubus 2y"\ limbus 2'" longus. CoroUa 
rosea parte exserta limbum calycis superans. Planta Schrenckiana a descripta Semenowiana 
parum discrepat: deusius foliata, folia longiora saepe pollicaria et usque 15"' longa, praeter 
basin margine fere omnino laevia, minus rigida, vetusta minus reflexa, impresso-punctata 
quidem, attamen ne vetustiora quidem calcareo - lepidota (forsan ob locum borealiorem 
coelumque minus aridum); scapi longiores, saepius pollicares. compressi fere ancipites; 
spica vero et flos idem, sed interstitia inter nervös tubi fere ad basiu usque pilis paucis 
adspersi. 
Insigniorem varietatem collegit L. B. Osten-Sacken, in regionibus australioribus, in 
statione demissiore exortam e seminibus verosimiliter ex editioribus locis allutis. Haec
