lapidary...no ;D  at least i never noticed an id-key overview for Pulsatilla.  e.g. here (http://greif.uni-greifswald.de/floragreif/?gr1=&gr2=&ord=&subfam=&tr=&sec=&fam=&gen=pulsatilla&spec=&v-407=&v-408=&v-409=&flora_key=Taxon) you can find some informations about 7 species from mongolia with herbar-material. for the rest you have to collect informations from every source you can find. the Pulsatilla alpina complex is well researched in zetsches dissertation (2004; german) "Die Phylogeographie des Artkomplexes Pulsatilla alpina (Ranunculaceae) (http://www.google.de/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCIQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fsundoc.bibliothek.uni-halle.de%2Fdiss-online%2F04%2F05H148%2Fprom.pdf&ei=1VrvU5TZJ8mD4gTB3oDgAw&usg=AFQjCNEZDeEo3jtnBt1eDQRWTIV0kx0zrA&bvm=bv.73231344,d.bGE&cad=rja)"
