Himalaya ; from Kashmir to Sikkim, alt. 1-9000 ft. ; common in tho West, and 

 in the lower hills, e5:tending in the plains to Jullundur. / •" 



Stem 1-3 ft., solitary, erect, much branched upwards, usually "with numerous 

 umbels. Lower leaves liuQiXT] oblong leaves usually with 5-9 somewhat distant pri- 

 mary nen-es and numerous prominent reticulating secondary ones. Bracts 1-4, 

 ^-\ in., lanceolate or obovate-lanceolate; bracteoles 4-5,^ in., obovate-lanceolate, 

 often as long as the fruiting umbellule or longer; rays 3-8, usually less than 1 in., 

 never stout ; pedicels rarely exceeding -^^ in. Fruit broadly oblong, yellowish brown ; 

 carpels terete; vittse in each furrow solitary, sometimes obscure. — Distinguished from 

 B, Candollii Var. minor by the delicate primary rays of the umbel and the much 

 smaller fruit. 



Vab. khasiana ; upper leaves linear or lanceolate acute or acuminate, bracts and 

 bracteoles narrow-lanceolate prominent, fruit rather longer. — Khasia Mts., alt. 

 4000-6000 ft. ; common ; Tenasserim ; Martaban Hills, alt. 7000 ft., ^?^r;r.— Stem 

 often very bushy from the base, corymbosely dichotomous with ascending branches, 

 whereas in B. tenue type there is a simple main stem with diraricate sub -horizontal 

 branches. Bracts often f in. ; bracteoles overtopping the fruits.— This variety has 

 always been referred to B. tenue, Don, with which the fruit closely agrees ; it resembles 

 B. miicronatumy var. ramosissima in its leaves bracts and bracteoles, but differs in its 

 smaller, shorter pedicelled fruit. We have not seen Martaban specimens, but as^ 

 Kurz (Journ. As. Soc. 1877, pt. ii. 114) gives tenue, Don, as a native, we assume he 

 alludes to this variety.

 having very small umbels with subsessile flowers, but it seems more closely alhed to-O.
