Japan and North India. 



The Chinese and Japanese specimens referred here are so 

 easily distinguished from ordinary G. luteo-album that we have 

 not followed the author of the ' Flora of British India ' in treating 

 G. rnulticeps as a variety of that species. With the exception of 

 a specimen from Pakhoi, collected by Mr. Playfair, all the 

 Chinese specimens are of a bright yellow, and the brown colour 

 of this may be due to age or injury in drying. The Indian and 

 Australian specimens are all brown, but perhaps there is no 

 other difference.
