The late Dr. Buchanan Hamilton originally discovered this species in 1802 
at Chitlong in the valley of Nepal, and gave it the name of Uvularia Pitsutu, 
which specific appellation I adopted in my Prodromus Flore Nepalensis, not 
being then aware that the- plant had been long previously published by Sir 
J. E. Smith in the 30th volume of “ Rees’s Cyclopedia,” under the name of. 
Streptopus peduncularis, at the end of the article * Uvularia.” It is a hand- 
some species, and is well distinguished by its many-flowered pedunculated 
umbels, and bluntish sepals. |

This is a well-marked species, having considerably smaller flowers, and 
much narrower leaves than in the rest of the genus. The umbels are nearly 
sessile, the sepals merely gibbous at the base, and the styles thrice as long as 
thestigmas. In the Wallichian Herbarium are several specimens with mature 
fruit, in which frequently a single seed only is perfected, the two other cells 
being barren.
