VEGETATION OF BRITISH BALUCHISTAN. 325 
Saussurea rupestris, Hemsley & Lace, n. sp. 
Species distincta ex aflinitate S. salicifolie, undique glabra 
vel cito glabrescens, caulibus erectis gracilibus pauci-ramosis 
viridibus 11-2-pedalibus, parce foliatis vel sursum fere nudis. 
Folia radicalia non visa, caulina pauca, distantia, subsessilia, 
crassa, rigidiuscula, spatulata, anguste lanceolata vel superiora 
fere linearia, maxima sesquipollicaria, acute apiculata. Capitula 
pauca, laxe corymbosa, circiter 8-flora, 9-10 lineas longa, ut 
videtur rosea; involucri bracteæ 5-6-seriatæ, anguste obloug, 
acutissime, rigidiuscule, interiores longiores margine scariose, 
exteriores minimas. Corolla glabra, pappum triente superans, 
lobis linearibus; stamina exserta, filamentis filiformibus glabris, 
antheris apiculatis caudicibus parvis puberulis. Achænia matura 
non visa, immatura leviter glandulosa; pappus uniseriatus, setis 
15-20 longe plumosis. 
Kawas Tangi at 7000 feet, on limestone rocks in sheltered 
situations. 
Primula Lacei, Hemsley § Watt, n. sp. (Plate XLI.) 
Species habitu foliisque P. Aucheri similis, sed floribus 
breviter pedicellatis in apicibus caulis densissime foliiferi fas- 
ciculatis, nee verticillatis involueratis. Caules ramosi, sublig- 
nosi, elongati, infra apices nune vestigiis foliorum vetustorum 
vestiti, nune squamis paucis exceptis nudi, brunnei, parcissime 
villosuli vel glabri. Folia in apicibus caulorum vel ramorum 
densissime conferta, obovato-spatulata, 6-24 lineas longa, apice 
rotundata, deorsum attenuata, nec distincte petiolata, tenuius- 
cula, mollia, plus minusve albo- vel aureo-lanata, dentata, iuter- 
dum grosse irregulariterque dentata. Flores lutei, brevissime 
pedicellati, bracteis linearibus suffulti ; calyx pulverulentus vel 
glaber, alte 5-fidus, segmentis linearibus acutis quam corolla 
$ brevioribus; corolla hypocraterimorpha, vix pollicaris, tubo 
angusto sursum leviter expanso, lobis rotundatis integris paten- 
tibus; genitalia inclusa. Capsula globosa. 
Torkhan, 4000 to 4500 feet. 
This has the suffruticose growth of P. Aucheri and P. verti- 
cillata, but is otherwise very distinct.
