^- West Himalayas, temperate and alpine region, alt. 8-13,000 ft.; West Tibet, 



n EuxAWAR, Kashmir, Gtjrwhal, Kumaon. 



^■' Stevis "woody, not more than a few inches long, beset below the tufts of leaves with 

 the copious ascending woody rachises of the old leaves with the lanceolate membranous 

 stipules still persisting. Leaves 3-4 in. long; leaflets oblong, obtuse, glaucous, f-^-in. 



-.. long, more or less silky; petioles 1-2 in., finely downy. Heads dense, many- flowered ; 



' ■ F'lipels ^-^ in., densely silky ; bracts linear. Calyx \ in., densely silky ; teeth linear, 

 ' a third as long as the tube. Corolla an inch long ; wings shorter than the standard, 



' keel than the wings. Pod J-1 in. long, curved, short-stalked, firm, turgid, bilocular, 

 12-16-seeded. 



' A plant from Kumaon and Gurwhal, of which we have incomplete examples ga- 

 thered by Palconer and Madden (Yav, pmdree7isis, Benth.) with the general habit and 

 «)pious persistent indurated petioles of this species, but with a shorter pod rounded at 



., Doth ends like the next, will probably prove distinct from both when fully known. 



,- Bunge cites from 'So^le IIL p. 109,' A. subcaulescens, which he keeps up as a 

 species, but says he has not seen. Koyle has no such plant.
