The description given is that of a plant presented to Kew by Mr. 
A. K. Bulley; this plant flowered in the Rock Garden at Kew in May, 
1906. The drawing (Pl. XXV) was made by Miss M. Smith from this 
plant. Another example of the same species flowered at Neston in 
1905 and was figured in „Flora and Sylva*. These plants were raised 
from seed received by Bulley from the Imperial Botanic Garden, 
St. Petersburg. The seeds were sent to St. Petersburg by Captain 
Koslow from south-eastern Tibet, from the valley of one of the head- 
waters of the Mekong. 
In colour of petals, and in shape and degree of tomentum of leaves, 
this much resembles M. integrifolia. It differs, howewer, from M. inte- 
grifolia in all the scapes being simple, radical, and l-flowered, and in 
having a distinct style with a narrower stigma. The difference in habit 
between M. pseudointegrifolia and M. integrifolia in paralleled in the case 
of M. simplicifolia and M. grandis. 
This species has not ripened seeds, at all events in England. Appa- 
rently monocarpic.
