Incolit hiec varietas cacumen montis Sheopur Napaliæ, florens mense Julii. 
Y only found this stately plant on the very top of Sheopur, the highest mountain near the valley of Nipal. It 
measured from two to full three feet in height; and, unless my painters have mistaken the colour, its flowers 
were paler than those of the original species, which has been excellently described and figured by the founder of 
the genus, as well as by Dr. Hooker, and which is not uncommon in the mountain forests of that country. My 
principal motive for inserting the variety here, is to pay a grateful tribute of respect and admiration to the memory 
of my late illustrious friend William Roscoe, Esq., whose genius and labours will reflect lustre on his name and on 
his nation as long as literature and botany have any votary.
