406 MR. F. N. WILLIAMS: REVISION 
sepalis duplo longiora. Capsula ovoidea polysperma. Semina 
obovato-reniformia subglabra. 
Hab. On the Tibet side of the Sikkim Himalaya, at 4500-5400 
metres. 
Of the species described in the ‘FI. of British India, 21 
are to be referred to Arenaria as defined in this Revision. Of 
these 21, however, six do not occur in India at all, but in Tibet, 
viz., A. globiflora, A. oreophila, A. pulvinata, A. monticola, A. 
polytrichoides, and A. musciformis. The last two are here united 
in one species. To these are now added three new Indian 
species— 4. ferruginea, A. kumaonensis, and A. tenella. 
A. pulvinata forms small subglobose densely compacted 
squarrose tufts: the stems bearing flowers only 6 mm. in diameter, 
not subtended by enlarged upper leaves in the form of bracts as 
in A. monticola. Of the other species of Arenaria described in 
the ‘Fl. of British India,’ the majority occur in the native and 
feudatory states, and cannot be rightly reckoned among British 
Indian species. These only will include the following — 
A. festucoides, A. serpyllifolia, A. nilghirensis, A. glanduligera, 
4. ciliolata, A. holosteoides, A. glandulosa.

(1874); Fenzl, in Ann. Wien. Mus. i. p. 63, t. 71 (1836) (Dolo-

Don deseribes the flowers as rose-coloured, which the specimen? 
do not bear out, and the stigmas as capitate, which is not the 
case, neither are remains of septa to be found in the capsules. 
Hab. Gosai-Than in Tibet, in the alpine region of the Nep: 
Himalaya.
