distinguish it from C. nummularia. In lax specimens the cymes have slender pedun- 

 cles and pedicels and drooping flowers. The character of drooping fruit by which it 

 has been sought to distinguish these two species depends on the length of the pe- 

 duncle. ' Fruit very variable in size and colour. Specimens apparently of C. vulgaris^ 

 from Bargil, Kashmir, alt. 10,500 ft. collected by Mr. C.B. Clarke have leaves 2 in. long.

. I refer the Garwhal plant to Bunge's muUiflora with some hesitation ; it closely 

 resembles the Altai and Soongaria plant In its thin pale leaves glaucous beneath, but 

 they are usually ovate and acute whereas in the Altai and Soongarian ones thef are 

 orbicular obovate or obcordate ; there are however leayes on some specimens oi tn 

 Himalayan plant quite like those of the other in being broadly elliptic and roundea 

 at both ends, and Baikal sf)ecitoehs have all the leaves ovate acute/ 

 few Indian specimens.

A smaller subevergreen, more woody rigid species than C, vulgaris, with smaue 

 leaves sometimes only \ in. long, never ovate and often orbicular. Flowers sma ^^ 

 calyx usually tomentose but sometimes glabrate ; fruit black, erect. — ^^^^^^*^ j!jo 

 cimens have orbicular leaves nearly 1 in. diam., and almost glabrous beneath. 1 

 not know upon what grounds Steudel and Decaisne regard the nummularia of IjOU 

 which appears to me to be the true plant, as different from that of Fischer.
