Folia radicalia numerosa, haud congesta, spathulata vel oblongo-elliptica obtusa, 2-5 cm longa, 0.4-1.2 cm lata, longe petiolata, petiolo lamina duplo-triplo longiore, pilis longis patentibus et semiappressis utrinque tecta, caulina sessilia ovata vel anguste ovata, breviter acuminata, basi lata, cauli semiappressa, pilis rectis semiappressis et patentibus utrinque, margine praecipue, tecta. Inflorescentia e cincinnis 2-3 formata, anthesi ineunte compacta, abeunte vero plus minusue laxa, brevis, caule 4-5-plo brevior. Flores pallide vel atro-cyanei. Calyx minus, quam ad 2/3 in lacinias acute triangulares fissus , florifer 2-3 mm longus, fructifer 3-4 mm longus, pilis rectis appressis et semiappressis densis (falciformibus et hamatis basi nullis) vestitus. Coroll a coerulea, limbo 6-7 mm diam., tubo ca. 2 mm longo, lobis late orbicularibus. Stylus calice brevior. Pedicelli fructiferi 4.5-5 mm longi, patentes, pilis rectis brevibus dense vestiti. Eremi 1.7-1.8 mm longi, elliptici, atro-fusci, margine angustissime alati, ventre subcarinati, areola late elliptica, canaliculis lateralibus exarata. Typus: Orientalis Sajan, jugum Udinskij fontem fluminus Issug-Sug, regio alpis 2050 ms.m., tundra lichenosa, 15/VI1961, L. Malyschev (NSK). Affinitas. Species M. asiática (Vestergren) Schischkin et Serg. arcticae incolae valde affinis et olim cum ea saepe conjuncta sed, eremis late ellipticis (nee anguste ellipticis), margine anguste alatis (nee late, apice praecipue alatis), foliis utrinque pilosis (nee subtus glabris), calycis dentibus triangulari-lanceolatis divergentibus (nee lineari-lanceolatis conniventibus), calyce pilis tenuibus rectis tantum (nee rectis et falciformibus) tecto differt. Perennial green loose-caespitose multicaulis (10) 15-20 cm tall plant. Rhizome stout, contracted, brown, with slender cinnamonic fibrils. Stems 5-8 (10), without involucre of dead leaves, ascending or erect, simple, weakly branched i n upper part toward end of vegetation, pubescent with long semiappressed simple hairs. Radical leaves many, not aggregated, spatulate or oblong-elliptical, obtuse, 2-5 cm long, 0.4-1.2 cm broad, long-petiolate, 2-3 times surpassing, leaf blade, pubescent on both surfaces with long patent and semiappressed hairs. Cauline leaves sessile, ovate or narrow-ovate, short-cuspidate, with broad base, semiappressed to stem, pubescent on both surfaces and specially along margin with erect semiappressed and patent hairs. Inflorescence consisting of 2 or 3 whorls, compact at commencement of anthesis, mor e or less lax toward end of anthesis, short, reaching 1/5-1/4 of stem length. Corolla blue, limb 6-7 mm in diam., tube about 2 mm long, lobes broad-orbicular. Style shorter than calyx. Calyx incised for less than 2/3 into sharp deltoid lobes, 2-3 mm long in flower, 3-4 mm long in fruit, compactly pubescent with only erect and semiappressed hairs; falcate and uncinate hairs absent at base of calyx. Fruit stems 4.5-5 mm long, declinate from stem, compactly pubescent with short erect hairs. Erema 1.7-1.8 mm long, elliptical,
