\Corolla-tube 4 by & in., base gibbous, glabrous without, hairy within; lobes 4 in.,

| 20. L. microphylla, Wiild.; Roem. § Schult. Syst. v. 258; leaves small 
blong or obovate pubescent beneath, peduncles 4-1 in., bracts 3-3 in. linear, 
racteoles 0, calyx-limb truncate. DC. Prodr. iv. 336; H. f. $ T. in Journ, 
Linn, Soc. ii. 171. L. Sieversiana, Bunge Verz. Altai-Geb. 18, 
|. Western Trpet; Kashmir to the Karakorum, alt. 11-14,000 ft., frequent.— 
{Distris. Northward to the Altai Mts. 
\ A small, erect, shrub; branchlets glabrous or nearly so. Leaves subsessile, i-i 
by 1-i in. obtuse, base narrowed. Peduncle minutely pubescent, slender. Corolla- 
ube$ by & in. base gibbous, glabrous without sparsely pilose within; teeth 1 in., 
uberect. Style subexsert, very hairy below. Berries } in., ellipsoid ; usually connate 
half-way. 
| 21. Lh. orientalis, Lamk. Dict. i. 731; leaves ovate-lanceolate acute 
finely nerved above more or less pubescent beneath, peduncles j—1 in. pubes- 
tent, calyx-teeth linear-lanceolate, corolla glabrous without or nearly so, tube 
short. DC. Prodr. iv. 337; Jaub. & Spach. IU. t. 71; H. f. & T. in Journ. 
Zann. Soc, ii. 170; Boiss. Fl. Or. iii. 8; Brandis For. Fl. 256. L. Govaniana,

TEMPERATE HIMALAYA, alt. 7-11,000 ft.; from Kashmir common, rarer eastward, 
to Kumaon.—Disrris. Western Asia. 
A large shrub or tree, 25 ft., branches horizontal, flattened. Leaves 24 by 1-1} 
in. acute, mucronate hardly acuminate, base narrowed or scarcely obtuse, midrib 
aboye pubescent, nerves fine and elevated when dried, beneath dotted and more or 
pubescent; petiole 4-4 in.  Peduncle stout, or slightly flattened, thickened 
rds. Bracts 4 in., linear-lanceolate; bracteoles 0 or small, but in the Kashmir 
eous form larger, well-marked even in fruit. Corolla-tube X in., base gibbous ; 
iin. pink. Style hairy, usually to the summit. Berries generally confluent. 
Ar. discolor, Lindl. in Bot. Reg. xxxiii. 1847, t. 44 (sp.); leaves glaucous 
th. H. f. & T. in Journ. Linn. Soc. ii. 171.—Kashmir, alt. 9-11,000 ft., 
on.—Lindley’s figure shows the corolla glabrous without, the calyx-teeth not 
ter than occurs in L. orientalis. This agrees perfectly with Thomson’s examples, 
But \with these occur (as L. discolor) plants with pubescent leaves and corollas, which 
we refer to L. alpigena. 
22. L. heterophylla, Dene. in Jacq. Voy. Bot. 80, t. 89; glabrous or 
nearly so, leaves narrow oblong reticulate-nerved beneath, peduncle 4—14 in., 
calyx-teeth short-triangular, corolla sparsely pilose, tube short. H. f. $ T. in 
Journ. Linn. Soc. ii. 170.

An erect shrub, 3 ft., branches glabrous, rigid, ascending. Leaves 24 by 4-1 in., 
upper narrow-oblong, narrowed at both ends, margin irregularly sinuate or sublobate, 
ab@ve glabrous, even on the midrib; petiole à in. Peduncles rigid, compressed, 
thickened upwards, scarcely pubescent. Bracts } in., linear. Corolla nearly of L. 
orjentalis. Style hairy to the summit. Drupes } by } in., never connate.—Appears 
distinct from every form of L. orientalis; but when Hk. f. & T. suggested it might be 
a variety thereof, they had seen no specimens. 
23. L. alpigena, Linn.; DC. Prodr. iv. 336; leaves elliptic or oblong 
acute or acuminate pilose beneath, peduncles 1-2 in., calyx-tube pubescent limb
