Europa australis ! Sibiria Altaica !.....Himalayan specimens of this species are not distinguishable from those of Europe and siberia. The pubescence of the fruit is of no value as a character, for among the few Indian specimens in fruit before us, that of Jacquemont is quite glabrous, while Major Madden's is densely strigose.
