‘‘ Also common in small mossy and moss-grown forest on the 8. W. ridge, 
running up to Angi lakes, from 8000-9000’. Both in the small forest of 
the ridges and in the open marsh this plant was uniformly seen of the small 
dimensions of the specimens collected.” The great interest attaching to this 
material is that it is a truly dwarf or nanoid form, which in every particular 
is smuller than the typical species—this peculiarity being true alike of stem, 
leaves, pedicel, and infloreseence.

On the specimens collected the largest leaves are + 5°4 by 3 cm., with 
the median vein reddish in colour on the upper and prominent on the lower 
surface, the 5-6 lateral veins enclosing raised reticulate areas, the ultimate 
nerve-endings being reduced to fine hair-lines. The petioles are red-brown, 
glabrous, flattened above. Stipules 1 cm. long, very caducous, subulate and 
pubescent. Inflorescence + 8 by 2 em., with peduncle 3-4°5 cm. long, 
faintly pubescent, scented; secondary peduncles in 1-2 superposed whorls,
