Western Tirer; Karakoram, near Ashkoley, alt. 10,700 ft., Clarke. 
This differs from any form of S. chrysanthemoides in the few and much larger 
more campanulate heads, as well as in the habit and few long peduncles. 
5. S. diversifolius, Wall. Cat. 3127; very robust, glabrous, leaves 
pinnatifid or lyrate-pinnatifid with broad auricled bases and oblong gashed lobes, 
heads many 4>% in. diam. broadly campanulate or hemispheric bracteolate many- 
fld., invol. bracts 10-16 oblong acute, ligules 10-16, achenes glabrous, pappus 
of the ray-tl. 0, of the disk red. DC. Prodr. vi. 366; Clarke Comp. Ind. 191.

ES 
Usually much stouter than S. chrysanthemoides, with broader heads and more 
flexuous, and at once distinguished by the red pappus at all ages, from all forms of 
that plant but var. 4. 
6. S. nudicaulis, Ham. in Don Prodr. 179; glabrous or sparsely 
pubescent, radical leaves often rosulate sessile or narrowed into a petiole obovate 
or linear- or obovate-oblong or spathulate obtuse obtusely crenate, cauline 
sessile linear-oblong or obovate irregularly crenate lobulate or toothed base 
contracted or dilated and auricled, heads many } in. diam. bracteolate broadly 
campanulate many-fld., invol. bracts 10-14 oblong acute 3-nerved, achenes 
puberulous all with whitish pappus. S. pallens, Wall. Cat. 3182; DC. Prodr.

TEMPERATE HiMALAYA; alt. 5-10,000 ft., from Wuzuristan, Stewart; to Sikkim, 
J. D. H. 
The prevalent scapigerous habit and obovate more entire leaves and the 3-nerved 
invol. bracts distinguish this from all forms of S. chrysanthemoides and diversifolius, 
but it is very variable in height, from 6 in. to 3 ft., and the cauline leaves especially 
vary from 2-3 in. and oblong contracted at the base to 6-7 in. with very dilated 
auricled bases. Limb of disk-fl. eampanulate. 
7. S. obtusatus, Wail. Cat. 3183; glabrous, stem or scape very slender 
almost naked, radical-leaves few elliptic or elliptic-lanceolate acute denticulate, 
cauline similar or the uppermost linear-oblong, heads few or many 4-3 in. long: 
20-30-fld. campanulate bracteolate in lax corymbs with long slender branches 
and peduncles, invol. bracts oblong acute obscurely 3-nerved, ligules 8-10, 
achenes papillose all with white pappus. DC. Prodr. vi. 367 ; Clarke Comp. 
Ind. 192. 
Kuasia and Jynrxa Mrs; alt. 4-6000 ft., De Silva, &c.—Distrrr. Khakyen hills 
east of Bhamo, in Birma. 
A very distinct species, allied to S. pallens, but differing in the foliage, very slende 
habit, and small heads; limb of disk-fl. eampanulate. 
8. S. zeylanicus, DC. Prodr. vi. 3605; very slender, puber' lous, leave 
very long narrow linear or dilated upwards acute or obtuse margins recurve
