tin ^^l «^°^ilar in foliage to broad-leaved states of R. Ihieatus, but at once dis- 

 Dgjushed by the almost setose purple gland-tipped spreading hairs, the lon^ 

 ^^.^/^-acuminate calyx-lobes which are also setose, and flowers in termmal broad 

 lldM "^^^ ^^^^ pedicels. It is a very rare plant ; I gathered it near Darjeeling, as 

 from P ^' ^' C^^rke, and on Sinchul. Dr. Anderson's specimens are stated to be 

 -^unkabarri in a hot region, but I suspect some error.
