( A. intermedia Haller fit).

Dwarf, with relatively sparse patent hairs except on the upper surface of the leaves and the pedicels, which are subglabrous. Leaves lobed to lobes 5-7, wide, with very long incisions and large distal teeth 2 mm or more. Inflorescence rather small. Flowers up to 4 mm wide. Snow-patches. • C. & E. Alps. Au Ge He It. A. intermedia subsp. sooi Palitz , Feddes Repert. 40: 244 (1936), described from Romania (Transsilvania), seems to differ in having shallower leaf-lobes, and denser hairs on pedicels and upper leaf surface. It would probably be best treated as a separate species, but the information is insufficient.
