Specimens belonging to this variety I have collected in the Altaian, above the limit of tree vegetation, at altitudes' about 1900 to 2000 m. above sea-level, on rocks and stony debris, with mosses and Fig. 96. Ledum palastre L. var. decumbens Aiton from the Say- ansk district, about 2000 m. above sea-level. (Vi). The stems are much ramified, low, 10 to 20 cm. long, creeping, only reaching up to about 10 cm. above the ground. The year's shoots are short, generally only from 1 to 1,5 cm. long. The leaves are very narrow, from 1 to 2 mm. broad, and from 10 to 14 mm. long, with the margin much revolute. The corymbs are rather few-flowered, generally from 3 or 4 to 8 or 10-flowered. The pedicels are comparatively short, 0,5 to 1 cm. long, hairy and glandular. The length of the petals is to about 6 mm. Taken in full flower at the end of July. Distribution: Scandinavia, excepting the western parts, Germany, Austro-Hungary, Russia, except the extreme south, throughout Siberia from the Ural to the Tshuktsher 339.
