Inpia. Chamba State: the commonest shrub in the under- 
growth of the Deodar Forest in Chitrari Reserve, flowering in 
lay and June, fruiting in August, 1300-2000 m., Parker 2, 3, 
4, 41, 42, 48; Kashmir, 1700-2000 m., Thomson. 
Mr. Parker first drew my attention last year to the probable 
existence of this,new species in Chamba, and has since sent 
abundant and excellent material to substantiate his opinion. He 
notes, incidentally, that the first leaves produced have fewer 
leaflets than those appearing later in the growing season. Leaflets 
on the stool-shoots attain as much as 2°5 cm. in length.
