Hab. Mountains of Nepal. Dr. Wallich. — This plant was 

 sent to us along with L. fulcratum, ( Wall. Cat. n. 125,) which 

 it resembles a good deal in size and aspect, and with which 

 it was probably found growing. Its stems, however, are 

 very thick at the base, throughout of a deep fulvous colour. 

 The leaves are of a pale yellowish-green, of a thin texture, 

 considerably undulated when dry. The stipules are lax, 

 attenuated in their lower half, and decurrent.

Caule erecto superne ramosissimo, ramis primariis sub- 

 dichotomis omnibus quasi glanduloso-pubescentibus, foliis 

 remotis horizontalibus opacis lineari-oblongis obtusis mar- 

 ginibus revolutis basi decurrentibus, stipulis conformibus 

 quadruplo minoribus erectis arete appressis, spicis elongato- 

 cylindraceis flexuosis. 



Hab. Mountains of Irrawaddy, and near Ava, 1826. Dr. 

 Wallich. — This is closely allied to L. fulcratum, but differs 

 somewhat in its ramification, in its darker hue, longer 

 spikes, and especially in its pubescent branches. Both have 

 the leaves singularly opaque, with the margins recurved and 

 decurrent at the base.
