bus mediocribus, siliquis lotigissimis erectis 3-4" long., T V" latis, pedi- 

 cello valido J" long., valvis acute carinatis canis acutis, septo opaco, 

 stylo subelongato. 

 Hab. In Himalaya occidentali temperata, Kunawur supra Lippa, 8000- 

 12000 ped. (exempl. fructif.) ! ? Kashmir ad Baramula Pass, alt. 

 5000 ped. ! Winterbottom (exempl. florif.). (fl. Mai.) (v.v.) 

 The hoary-branched habit, small narrow acute leaves, and very long 

 pods well distinguish this species. Winterbottom's specimen, not being 

 in fruit, is doubtfully referred here.

J. D. H. (v.v.) (fl. Jun.) 

 The tall robust habit, sharply angled stems, middling-sized flower, and 

 very long patent pods best distinguish this.
