Androsace. | LXXXVIL PRIMULACER. (J. D. Hooker.) 499 
seeded. Seeds angular, granulate.—In Wallich's Herbarium the ticket of this has 
been inadvertently attached to a sheet of A. sarmentosa. 
Van. 1. typica, densely clothed with white silky hairs, stems and branches elon- 
gate, umbels cense-fld., pedicels short —Throughout the Western Himalaya. 
Var. 2. glabrior, Wall.; more slender, sparingly villous or silky, umbels loose, 
pedicels 1-1 in. slender.—K umaon to Sirmore. 
10. A. villosa, Linn.; Boiss. Fl. Orient. iii. 13; stoloniferous, densely 
villous, leaves in small globose rosettes sessile lanceolate or spathulate, scapes 
solitary, invol. leaves usually equalling the pedicels, calyx eleft half-way, lobes 
obtuse, corolla-lobes obovate, tips rounded, mouth with a conical erect tubular 
swelling. Duby in DC. Prodr. viii. 50; Jacq. Coll. i. t. 12; Reichb. Ic. Crit. 
iii. t. 248, vi. t. 580; Ic. Fl. Germ. xvii. t. 1112. A. Jacquemontii, Duby l. c. 
50; Mem. Prim. t. 3, f. 1. 
Western Himaraya; in the drier regions from Kumaon to Kashmir and WxsrERN 
Tier, alt. 12-17,000 ft.—Disrris. Affghanistan, Caucasus, Alps, Asia Minor, Central 
and N. Asia. 
Prostrate, in tufted masses of short naked stems and stolons bearing at close 
intervals villous rosettes j-1 in. diam.; much resembling a very small state of A. 
sarmentosa or lanuginosa, but the corolla has a prominent conical ring at the mouth. 
The scapes are sometimes shortened, and the umbels sessile, Boissier identifies A. 
Jacquemontii with A. villosa, I think rightly. I distinguish it from states of 4. Chama- 
Jjasme with great difficulty. 
ll. A. Hookeriana, Klatt in Linnea xxxii. 293, t. iii. f. 1; sparingly 
pubescent, loosely tufted, stolons and branches rigid divaricate, rosettes of few 
unequal small petioled obovate or elliptic obtuse flat leaves, scapes solitary 
slender few-fld., bracts linear, calyx-lobes obtuse, corolla-lobes obovate, tips 
retuse, mouth annulate. 
Srxxm Himataya; Lachen, alt. 12-14,000 ft., J. D. H 
Branches divaricating. Leaves 1-3 in., narrowed into petioles of sometimes the 
length of the blade. Scapes 1-3 in. Corolla much larger than the calyx, pink. Cap- 
sule 2-seeded. 
12. A. Chamejasme, Host; Boiss. Fl. Orient. iv. 14; laxly villous 
with jointed hairs, loosely tufted, stolons and branches slender, rosettes of many 
densely tufted sessile small obovate ovate-oblong or -lanceolate spreading or

late equalling the pedicels, calyx-lobes obtuse, corolla-lobes longer obovate, tips 
rounded, mouth annulate. Duby in DC. Prodr. viii. 51 ; Reichb. Ic. Crit. vi. t. 
580; Je, Fl. Germ. xvii. t. 1112; Lodd. Bot. Cab, t. 232. A. villosa, Jacq.

Ralam, N. of Kumaon, Strach. & Winterb., No. 8. 
App^rently identical with the European, Ze. plant, and like it variable in the 
size of the whole plant and of the leaves, Rosettes 1l in. diam. Leaves LA in.,
