Kumaon, at Sabu, alt. 8,500 ft., Strach. 4 Winterb. 2. . 
Apparently a tall species. Leaves 2-3 in., primary nerves only distinct ; petiole

of this plant are insufficient; Edgeworth‘s are in flowers only ; the Kumaon ones are 
more advanced and in fruit, are nearly glabrous with a rather shorter corolla.
