Allied perhaps to 1\ (jJaucinoides, Broth., in the form and structure of the 

 leaves, but the branching is more delicate, the ramuliue leaves different, and 

 the pericluctial bracts much more finely pointed and vcrj^ remarkably 

 spiculose at back.

This agrees well with Fleischer's description and figures. The J plant 



only was found, a single stem, the flowers numerous, on the branches ; 



rather large^ turgid, the bracts numerous^ closely imbricated, shortly and 



widely acnminate.

Camp XIIT, 10,300 ft. (No. 30). 



A \(bvy small quantity oC tliis plant was collecled, a})parently agreeing 

 with E, arfal'ensey but I have seen no specimens, and indeed the original 

 description of the species, itself described from poor material, is scarcely 

 full enougli to justify an exact determination.
