116 XCVII. GENTIANACEX. (C. B. Clarke.) [ Gentiana. 
27. @. phyllocalyx, Clarke ; stems solitary suberect 1-flowered, leaves 
obovate obtuse not marginate, calyx-lobes large resembling the leaves, corolla 
14-13 by 4-4 in. tubular inflated. Gentiana sp. n. 26, Clarke in Journ. Linn. 
Soc. xiv. 439. 
Srxxm HrxALAYA, alt. 13-15,000 ft. ; Kankola and Lachen, J. D. H. 
Stems 1-5 in. Radical leaves 2 by 4 in., obovate, obtuse, herbaceous, sub-1-nerved, 
rsistent at fruiting time; cauline similar, rather smaller, remote.  Calyz-lobes 
3 in. elliptic, green, not marginate. Corolla blue, somewhat contracted at the 
mouth. Capsule 3 by 4 in.; stalk often 1 in.—Has larger flowers, and very much 
larger calyx-lobes, than G. venusta. 
28. G. venusta, Wall. Cat. 4389; stemless or nearly so, leaves elliptic 
or obovate obtuse, calyx-lobes small oblong acute, corolla 1 by 4—4 in. tubular 
Griseb. Gentian. 276, and in DC. Prodr. ix. 109; Clarke in Journ. Linn. Soc. 
xiv. 439. Ericala venusta, G. Don Gen. Syst. iv. 189. 
ALPINE Western HrxALAYA, from Kashmir to Kumaon, alt. 11-14,000 ft.; Blink- 
worth, Gen. Munro, &c. 
Stems 0, or 3 in., prostrate: flowers 1-3 subsessile on the short, densely leafy, 
annual shoots, Leaves 1-3 in. — Calyz-tube X in., lobes 4-1 in., linear or oblong, sinus 
intervening wide. Capsule 3-3 in. by }-4 in. 
29. G. tubiflora, Wall. Cat. 4388; stemless or nearly so, leaves imbri- 
cate ovate or elliptic acute, calyx-teeth ovate-lanceolate acute, corolla 1 by 4 
in. tubular, Griseb. Gentian. 277, and in DC. Prodr, ix. 110.  Ericala tubi- 
flora, G. Don Gen. Syst. iv. 189. 
ALPINE HiwAraYa; Nepal, Wallich; Western Trset, Munro; Sikkim, alt. 14- 
16,000 ft., J. D. H. 
Stems 1-1 in. Leaves 1-3 in.  Calyz-tube lin.; lobes Zin. — Corolla-lobes 3-1 in. 
triangular, erect. Capsule 3 by lin.; stalk 1-13 in.— The fruiting examples are 
very distinet from G. venusta by the long-exsert capsule; the flowering are hardly 
separable by the more acute leaves and calyx-teeth. 
30. G. ornata, Wall. Cat. 4386 ; branches many from the root elongate 
leafy 1-flowered, cauline leaves oblong or sublinear acute, calyx-lobes oblong oF 
linear, corolla 1-12 in. tubular funnel-shaped. Griseb. Gentian. 277, and in 
De Prodr, | ix. 110; Bot. Mag. t. 6514. Pneumonanthe ornata, G. Don Gen. 
Syst. 1v. . 
ALPINE CENTRAL and Eastern Hraraya, alt. 11-15,000 ft. ; Nepal, Wallich ; 
Sikkim, J. D. H., &c., common. 
Branches 1-5 in., curved. Radical leaves 0 or inconspicuous at flowering time; 
cauline 1-3 by 3-3 in., acute, bases connate into a short tube. Calyx-tube lin; 
lobes } in.; sinus wide. Corolla i in. diam. (in Wallich's example); lobes 4 in., 
triangular, acute, erect. Capsule 4 by } in.; stalk 1-11 in.—The abundant materi 
shows the capsule (fully ripe) often included, and nearly as often far exserted. 
Var. metantha; barren shoots with minute leaves, corolla 4-1 in.—Sikkim; 
Jongri, alt. 13,000 ft., Clarke.— Leaves of the barren shoots 4 in., imbricate, recurv 
(as in G. humilis or squarrosa), of the flowering shoots nearly as in G. ornata, Caly=- 
tube 1 in., lobes $ in., not so much reduced as the corolla. Capsule } in., subinclud 
in the corolla-tube. Testa white, lax, altogether as of G. ornata. A very dubious 
plant. 
, 91. G. nubigena, Edgew. in Trans. Linn. Soc, xx. 85; leaves oblong- 
linear, calyx-lobes oblong much shorter than the tube with wide sinus inter- 
vening, corolla 1} by 4 in. funnel-shaped.
