(?) Potentilla multiida L. X soongorica Bunge; Th. Wolf, Monogr. Gatt. Pot. (1908) '60.

Eastern Tibet, near Camp XLIV, 5127 m., 18th Aug. 1901 (fruiting).

I had identified the present plant with P. soongorica Bge. (with some doubt), but Dr. TH. WOLF considers it a hybrid between P. soongorica and P. multifida. He writes: »Höchst wahrscheinlich P. multa, fida X soongorica, oder, da die Pflanze der P. nzultifida nähersteht, vielleicht noch besser: P. super-mu/lift X soongorica. Reine P. soong-o7-ica Bge. jedenfalls nicht. — Eine sehr ähnliche P. multi, fïda X soongorica wurde schon a. 1879 von Regel, im Gebirge nördlich von Kuldscha gesammelt, eine andere a. 1905 von Saposchnikov in der nördlichen Mongolei.«
