114 XCVII. GENTIANACE&. | (C. B. Clarke.) [ Gentiana. 
18. G. coronata, Royle Ill. t. 68, fig. 1; stem short with spreading 
branches, leaves lanceolate acute, cyme terminal subcapitate, calyx-teeth ovate 
mucronate erect, corolla ł by 4 in. fimbriate. Griseb. Gentian. 304, and in DC. 
Prodr. ix. 109. Eurythalia coronata, D. Don in Royle Ill. 278, and in Trans. 
Linn. Soc. xvii. 515. Ericala coronata, G. Don Gen. Syst. iv. 193. 
N. W. Hrataya; Kedarkanta, Royle. 
Only known from Royle's figure, according to which it differs from G. carinata by 
the wider subeampanulate corolla. 
19. G. Hugelii, Griseb. in DC. Prodr. ix. 108? ; stem short-branched 
leafy many-flowered, leaves elliptic obtuse, calyx-teeth shorter than the tube 
elliptic obtuse, corolla j by à in. fimbriate, seeds small ellipsoid subtrigonous 
smooth not winged.

Stem 1-3 in. Leaves 1} by } in., upper cauline smaller obovate obtuse. Other- 
wise as G. carinata.—ldentified with G. Hugelii from Grisebach’s description, which 
agrees very well except as to the testa which he describes as winged, whereas 10 
Thomson's plant it is close, as in other species of chondrophyllum. 
20. G. nudicaulis, Kurz in Journ. As. Soc. 1873, pt. ii. 235 ; stem erect 
leafless downwards when flowering, leaves lanceolate, flowers capitate or closely 
panicled, corolla 3 in. much exceeding the calyx. Clarke in Journ. Linn. Soc.
