When I was at Kew, I compared the plant with the type of DUTHIE'S 

 plant and found that they are quite identical, although there are some 

 small differences between them. The calyx of our plant is half -closed after 

 flowering, Imt in the Indian plant, as we see in the figures cited above, it is 

 nearly re flexed. The prickles in the latter are much fewer and the leaves 

 are larger.
