In water-logged, stony soil, 17,600 ft., Thorold, 33. Growing 
in gravel east of Horpa Tso, 17,000 ft., very scarce and very little 
vegetation of any kind, Deasy & Pike, 827, 841. Flowers 
yellow. 
It was only after the publication of this plant under the name 
of Senecio (§ Cremanthodium) Deasyi that we found out that it had 
been collected before in Kashmir and described under the names 
citedabove. Werneriaisa large Andine genus with which four or 
five Abyssinian and Himalayan allied plants have been associated. 
So far as Werneria nana, Benth., is concerned we have no_hesi- 
tation about placing it in Cremanthodium; and it is very closely 
allied to C. humile, Maxim. We will not presume to settle here 
the limits of the genus Senecio: but taking such otber genera, 
numerous in species, as Hrica, Solanum, and Carex, in relation to 
range of variation, itmight well include Cacalia, Cremanthodium 
and several other proposed genera, perhaps Wernerta itself. 
Jacquemont’s figure was from a better specimen than ours.
