Has. This highly ornamental species is found on 
such lofty mountains as Choor, Shalma, and Kedar- 
kanta, at elevations of about 9,000 to 10,000 feet, 
and is particularly interesting on account of its roots, 
called atees, having long been an article of Indian 
Materia Medica. It varies a good deal in size as 
well as in the form of its leaves, whence the 
specific name assigned to it by Dr.Wallich, The . 
root is composed of two oblong oval tubers;of & light 
ash colour externally, and white in the inside, of 
a pure bitter taste; fibres numerous, spreading ; 
the stem is generally from two to three feet in 
height, obscurely angled, smooth and shining 
below, round and pubescent above 3; the lower 
leaves are long-petioled, round or sagittate-cordate, 
acuminate occasionally almost lobed, five or more 
ribbed, the lateral ones spreading, the central 
slightly curved, running from the base to the 
apex of the leaf; margins divided into broad 
lengthened teeth, which are generally mucronate, 
or sharp serratures, of a leathery consistence 3 both 
surfaces without any kind of pubescence. The 
upper leaves are short petioled or sessile, embracing 
the stem, cordate-acuminate, five-ribbed, margins 
Inciso-serrate, or serrate, serratures mucronate, 
The inflorescence is a panicled raceme, or the 
Tacemes are axillary and terminal. Pedicels long, 
pubescent, thickened towards apex, closely applied 
to stem. Bracte leaf-like, cordate, 
bracteoles oval or oblong, 
acuminate, 
entire sub-opposite
