Crematis Nipalensis, Royle, Iilustr. p: 51 (excl. syn.). 
Native of the Western Himalaya, where, about Garhwal, it 
appears to have been first detected by Dr. Royle and Mr. Paken- 
ham Edgeworth, and first distinguished as a species by the latter _ 
gentleman (from whom we have received native specimens) 1D 
the Linnean Society’s Transactions above quoted. Messrs. 
Strachey and Winterbottom found it at Kamaon, at an elevation — 
of 10,000 feet: and Major Madden, who introduced it by seed 
to the Glasnevin Botanic Garden, Dublin, met with it im Woo 
between Kamaon and Simla, at elevations varying from 8000 to 
10,000 feet above the level of the sea. Mr. Edgeworth consti- 
tutes of it a new section or subgenus (Bebeanthera), differmg 
from Cheiropsis, in wanting the involucra, and in the introrse — 
anthers; but Drs. Hooker and Thomson refer it to § Chetropsis, — 5 
whose character they consider mainly to rest on the nee 2 
flowered peduncles : and they give another Indian species ne a 
longing to it, with introrse anther, viz. C. acutangula, Hook. : 
et Thom. (C. darbellata is a very pretty species, bearing meg 
rous, large, chocolate flowers, with cream-coloured borders es e 
sepals. Mr. Moore, who sent the specimens here figured from 
JULY Ist, 1854.
