108 MR. W. B. HEMSLEY ON TWO SMALL 
I at first took this to be an undescribed species, not being 
aware of the existence of Maximowicz’s description and figure 
under the above name. Then, when I came to describe it, I 
arrived at the conclusion that it was a reduced state of 2. lobatus, 
Jacquem.; and I am still of that opinion, but in the absence of 
ripe fruit I will not presume to decide the point. Maximowicz 
compares his new species with the very different Oxygraphis 
Shaftoana, Aitch. et Hemsl.*, and makes no mention of Ranun- 
culus lobatus. 
North-eastern Tibet. 
5. Ranunculus pulchellus, C. 4. Meyer.—Flowers yellow. 
Near water at 17,300 ft. 
Afghanistan, alpine Himalaya, Siberia, and Mongolia. 
6. Ranunculus hyperboreus, Roftb., var. natans, Regel.— 
Flowers yellow. Streams at 16,200 ft. 
Northern alpine and arctic regions. 
7. Delphinium grandiflorum, Zinn.—Flowers blue. Side of

Widely spread in the mountains of Northern India, Tibet, 
Southern Siberia, and Western China. 
8. Delphinium ceruleum, Jacquem.—Flowers purple. Top of

Alpine region of the Himalayas from Kumaon to Sikkim. 
9. Meconopsis horridula, Hook. f. et Thoms.—Flowers blue. 
Water-logged soil in valley close to marsh at 15,500 ft. 
Sikkim Himalaya at 14,000 to 17,000 ft., and in Eastern 
Mongolia. 
10. Hypecoum leptocarpum, Hook. f. et Thoms.—Flowers 
light violet. Sheltered nullahs at 15,500 ft. 
Western Tibet and Sikkim Himalaya. 
11. Corydalis Boweri, Hemsl.
