very long, achenes narrow equalling the white pappus. 
Western Himaraya; Kashmir, alt. 7-10,000 ft., Thomson, Watt. 
Stem 3-4 ft., more slender than in S. amplexicaulis. Leaves 10 in. diam. and 
under, orbicular and deeply cordate with rounded lobes, or more often hastate with 
deeurved or spreading lobes. Corymbs very variable, axils with long linear bracts. 
Heads suberect and drooping ; bracteoles linear or filiform; invol. bracts $ in. long ;

not of DC. 
Sixxrw Hrmaraya; alt. 10—14,000 ft., Clarke. 
The only specimen I have seen is very mutilated ; its heads are smaller than in 
S. amplexicaulis, which is apparently its nearest ally, and from which it is best dis- 
tinguished by its small heads and small broadly obovate-oblong achenes ZZ in. long, 
and short pappus. 
** Leaves palmately lobed, heads corymbose. 
37. S. macranthus, Clarke Comp. Ind. 205; very robust, nearly 
glabrous, leaves palmately or subpedately 7-9-lobed to near the base, lobes 
oblong gashed and toothed, petiole of radical long not winged, of cauline 
with a basal sheath, heads very few and large corymbose on long naked 
peduncles many-fld., base broad ebracteolate, invol. bracts 6-10 very unequal 
and irregularly connate, ligules very long narrow, achenes narrow glabrous 
nearly equalling the red pappus. 
Kuasa Mrs. ; alt. 5-7000 ft., J. D. H. 4 T. T. 
Stem 3-5 ft., as thick as the thumb below. Leaves reniform in outline, 12-18 in. 
diam. Heads campanulate, ebraeteolate; invol. bracts $-1 in., some lanceolate 
acuminate, others broadly ovate obtuse or acute, with membranous overlapped 
margins; ligules 2 in. long; disk-fl. with a long slender tube and short limb.

38, S. Mortoni, Clarke Comp. Ind. 208; stem above and corymb pube- 
rulous, leaves palmately 5-11-lobed lobes gashed and toothed, petiole of the

narrow 5-6-fld. bracteolate base very narrow, invol. bracts 3-5 linear-oblong 
acute or obtuse free to the base, ligules 0, achenes narrow glabrous equalling or

Stem 3-4 ft. Leaves reniform in outline, 18 in. diam. and under. Corymbs much 
branched, very broad; heads erect, fascicled; bracteoles linear, revolute; invol. 
bracts 4 in. long, 2-seriate, outer narrower, inner broader with wide membranous. 
borders; tubes of disk-corollas about equalling the campanulate limb. Achenes 1-1 
in., smooth.— The campanulate limb of the disk-corolla is not, as Clarke describes, 
much shorter than the tube, nor are the achenes } in. long. It is named after a 
grandson of the illustrious Roxburgh, Depy. Comm. of Sikkim in 1870.
