FLORA OF TIBET OR HIGH ASIA. 227 
No new species were discovered on this expedition and only 
one orchid, Orchis latifolia, was collected. 
Another collection presented to Kew, a collection which was 
confidently supposed to contain a number of novelties, was made 
near Yatung by H. E. Hobson, Esq., in 1897. Yatung belongs 
politically to Tibet, and is situated on a strip of territory that 
wedges into Sikkim. It is in 88° 35’ and 27° 51’, at an elevation 
of about 11,000 ft., and is really within the humid region of the 
Himalayas. The following is a rough analysis of the composition 
of the collection, which, contrary to expectation, contains no 
striking novelty, though it may prove to include a few undescribed 
species when the material comes to be more critically examined.
