 C. rotundifolice proxima; differt caule robustiore, foliis majoribus et 



angustioribus acuminatis nunquam patentim pilosis, floribus termi- 



nalibus, corolla tubulosa longiore et angustiore. 



We were for some time inclined to consider this as an Eastern 

 form of the Western G. rotundifolia^ but cannot venture to unite 

 them. The plant has a very heavy, rank, almost hircine smell 

 when fresh.

 The Kashmir specimens are much larger, more flaccid, branched, 

 and have more slender petioles than the Tibetan ones : these dif- 

 ferences are without doubt due to climate. Griffith's specimens 

 have some of the leaves narrower than any of the Himalayan or 

 Tibetan ones.
