I]sr A JOURXEY TO THE NAGA HILLS. . 133 



Juncus^ very slender, with small flowers. 



LuzuTay large ; wuth long floweriag-stems and basal tufts of 

 broad green leaves. 



Cares : a large broad-leaved species, perhaps an extreme state 

 of C speeiosa, Kunth ; collected also in Sikkim by Gramble. 



Vacciuiace^ • three Tonglo species. 



MicrogJossa : large shrubby, with white ray ; but I think only 

 a form of the common species. 



Miihus : half a dozen species, 3 " silver-leaved " ; moreover i2. 

 moluccaniis on tlie very summit. I mean by It, moluccanus a 

 species with undivided sub-5-lobed leaves which is abundant at 



2000-^000 feet. 



Senecio Wallichii, and its alhed species ; and the two common 



scandent Sikkim species. 



JPimpinella {Hookeri^ I think), /. a. the very fine cut species 



you got on Tonglo. 



Ojyhelia: a 5-sepalous species with reflexed purplish corolla; 



a Sikkim species at 9000 feet. 



Crassulad: a common Tonglo Sedum, 



Pedicularis : a Tonglo species. 

 Atnslicea : two species. 



Actinidia. 



Impatiens : the Tonglo small yellow. 



Very near the top I saw the common Sikkim white MieJielia. 

 Also, there grew in great beauty a small Campanulad (Codonopsis). 

 This species grows in Sikkim as a poor little straggling weed 

 nearly prostrate, with few flowers j in Jakpho it forms small dense 

 upriglit bushes abont eighteen inches high — a mass of flower — I 

 think 500 flowers on a single stem. 



By working down 100-200 feet from the summit on the north- 

 east face of Jakpho 1 came upon the two best plants I got, viz. 

 too large Senecios of the section Ligularia. One of these is (I 

 am pretty sure, without a book) the old Ligularia raceinosa^ DC, 

 a plant which I have never seen in Sikkim under 11,000 feet ; and 

 Jakpho is much warmer than Sikkim at corresponding levels. 

 The other is a Ligularia^ five to six feet high, with very large 

 leaves, and few florets to the head ; it is therefore not a typical 

 Ligularia, I am pretty sure that I have seen this plant before 

 but I fancy not in Sikkim, but in or near Kashmir (this is only a 

 fancy).
