Species pulcherrima, nullz arcte affinis. Caulis 6-8". Folia membra- 
nacea, petiolo basi glandulis non stipulato. Racemi pollicares, omnes 
laterales, horizontaliter patentes. Calcar 1—3”, arcuatum ascendens, 
apice obtuso. Capsula 1", brevis, obovato-lanceolata, basi breviter

This has the fruit of many species in $ B, and the racemose flower of 
the Racemose.

The Sikkim specimens look different; they have broader leaves and 
single smaller flowers on ebracteolate peduncles, but from drawings of 
both, taken on the spot, I am unable.to point out any further differences 
between them.
