We were for some time inclined to consider this as an Eastern 

 form of the Western C. rofundtfoUa, but cannot venture to unite 

 them. The plant has a very heavy, rank, almost hircine smell 

 when fresh.

The Kashmir specimens are much larger, more flaccid, branched, 

 and have more slender petioles than the Tibetan ones : these dif- 

 ferences are without doubt due to climate. Griffith's specimens 

 have some of the leaves narrower than any of the Hinmlayan or 

 Tibetan ones.
