Raised from seeds sent by Dr. Hooker, to the Royal 
Gardens of Kew, in 1849, from Sikkim-Himalaya, elevation 
10,000 feet above the level of the sea. It seems quite hardy, 
and flowered through the autumn in the open border, even as 
late as November, when our drawing was made. It would ap- 
pear to have a very extensive range along the whole Himalaya 
chain, and on both sides. Dr. Wallich’s original specimens 
were gathered at “Ludak” in 1821, as stated in his valuable 
edition of ‘Flora Indica; afterwards, in his ‘ Catalogue,’ the 
further stations of Nepal, Deyra Dhoon, and Kamoon are given. 
Professor De Candolle refers to it, and. probably justly, Dr. 
Wallich’s C. Moorcroftiana (as suggested by Dr. Wallich him- 
self) from Ladak in Thibet, and our herbarium contains speci- 
mens) not only from the above localities (presented by the Hon. 
the E. I. Company) but also from Simla and from Affghanistan.
