The largest flowered Himalayan Cynoglossum, and a 
very handsome plant, native of the temperate and sub- 
alpine regions between Kulu and Kumaon, at elevations of 
10,000 to 13,000 ft. 
It was first found by Edgeworth, in the Jalauri Pass in 
Kulu, and has been in cultivation in England for some 
time, as there are specimens in the Kew Herbarium from 
Mr. Wilson’s garden at Weybridge, dated 1888, Mr. 
Duthie has collected it at Kumaon and Garwhal, and Dr. 
Watt at Pangiin Kumaon. The Kew plant from which 
the accompanying drawing was made, was raised from 
seed received from Mr. Duthie in 1894; it flowered in the 
open ground of the Royal Gardens in May, 1896, and 
fruited in the following June.
