474 MR. С. С. LACAITA ОМ PLANTS 
Between Chiabanjan and Singalela (with purple-pink flower), е. 11,000', 
5. v. (15578) ; above Kalapokri between Longlo and Sandakphu (pale pink), 
с. 10,000’, 8.v. (15575); Singalela (in fruit) coll. Ribu, October 1913 
(18445, 18446). 
When on the spot I assumed this, from its colour and general appearance, 
to be a variant of R. Hodgsoni, among which it grows promiscuously, and 
the words of Clarke’s description of Л. Hodgsoni in Fl. Brit, Ind, iii. р. 464, 
“leaves cinnamoneous or white-tomentose beneath,” seem to suggest this 
form. But Dr. Stapf has pointed out to me that most of the characters, 
except the colour of the flower, are nearer to №. F'alconeri. The shape of 
the capsule, assuming that the specimens collected by Ribu in the autumn 
really belong to the species I saw in flower on the same ground in spring, 
apart from any other differences, makes it quite impossible to assign it to a 
form of А. Hodgsoni. 
Ruopopenpron? Form with broadly elliptic leaves, 18 by 12 cm., otherwise re- 
sembling those of №. Falconeri, but with flowers crimson in bud. Of this I 
only could find a single tree, not yet in full flower, Hodgsoni and decipiens 
were plentiful all round; Æalconeri also present but scarce. Between 
Subarkum and Sandakphu, с. 11,000, 7. v. (16275). 
PRIMULACEÆ. 
PRIMULA DENTICULATA, Sm. — Phalut, c. 11,800", 5. v. (15484, 15485). 
— — PETIOLARIS, Wall., var. NANA, Hook. fil. Between Chiabanjan and Singalela, 
с. 11,500', 5. v. (15428); Subarkum, с. 11,250’, 7. v. (15427). 
var. sCAPIGERA, Hook. fi. Below Chiabanjan in woodland, с. 9500’,

In bud опу; Sandakphu, under shady rocks, c. 11,500’, 7. v. (16188). 
— — MACROPHYLLA, D. Don = purpurea, Royle (treated as а variety of 
P. Stuartii, Wall. by Watt and by Hook. fil., but of P. nivalis, Pall. by 
Pax, who however expresses doubt of its presence in Sikkim !). Between 
Subarkum and Sandakphu, c. 11,500”, 7. v. (15482, 15483). — 
LYsIMACHIA JAVANICA, Blume. Tista Valley below Temi, с. 900”, 1. v. (16049). 
PROLIFERA, Klatt. Flower pale pink to blush-white; copious in sward at 
Chiabanjan, с. 10,300”, б.у. (16288). By some oversight this is included 
in Fl. Brit. Ind. among the species with “flowers in elongate terminal 
racemes."
