174 SURG.-MAJ. J. E. T. ATTCHISON ON THE FLORA OF 
997,1 (1379). Lactuca, rapunculoides, C. B. Clarke, var., was distri-

17,30. Launza nudicaulis, Less.

very common. 
589 (1879). L. sp. nov.?, was distributed as Microrhynchus aspleni- 
folius, DC. 
It oceurs in the Hariáb distriet, growing from the crevices of 
huge rocks, associated with Dionysia and Parietaria, at an altitude 
of from 7000 to 8000 feet. 
An elegant tender annual, scarcely over 4 inches in height. It 
grows in clusters, and, interlacing its branches with the others of 
its kind, produces the soft moss-like cushions so characteristic of 
the rocks of that part of the country, where there are few lichens 
or mosses, and still fewer ferns to vary the colouring. 
I regret that there is no ripe fruit amongst my specimens to 
enable me to describe this interesting plant.
