PLANTS OF KOHIMA AND MUNEYPORE. 35 
VERNONIA BRACTEATA, Wall. 
West Muneypore, alt. 2300 feet. 
Attaining 10 feet in the savannahs, with very numerous heads 
in a large compound corymb. There are 85 heads on one of my 
herbarium fragments, and the specimen is hardly covered by the 
description in Hook. f. Fl. Brit. Ind. vol. iii. p. 232.

pubescentia. Corymbi axillares et subterminales, densiuseuli, 
pubescentes. Capitula longa j unciam lata vix 4 unciam, 4-5- 
flora; phyllaria multiseriata, obtusa, interiora sensim longiora.

/ Kohima, alt. 5800 feet [n. 41182]. 
. North Muneypore, alt. 4500 feet. 
. My specimens were collected in very early flower, at which 
time it is rare for a Vernonia to show the pappus so intense a 
red. There is no Indian Vernonia (nor can Mr. Baker suggest 
any other Vernonia) that has so cylindrie heads as this. In the 
young flowers the styles are very long, narrow, conieal, hairy, and 
mót yet separated ; in some heads the styles are small, show no 
sign of separating, and Mr. Hemsley (observing also the large 
Wr pollen in these flowers) thinks these heads probably functionally 
_ male.
