A. leptocentrus, Bunge, is as regards Jacquemont’s n. 1691 
only a villous form of A. Jacquemontii, Bunge, and probably 
came from Kunawar and not from Kashmir as stated by Bunge. 
Griffith’s lant from Cabul I have not seen; nor has Boissier 
(Fl. Orient. II. 307). There appears to have been some mistake 
over this specimen, as A. leptacanthus, Benth. mss. in herb. Kew, 
is mainly a plant with many more leaflets looking like a villous 
form of A. Candolleanus, Royle. 
A. Daltonianus, Bunge. The types are Thomson’s specimens 
from N. W. Himalaya, 10,000—12,000 feet. There are four sheets 
in Herb. Kew. All the sheets bear a printed label giving the 
elevation at which the specimens were collected as 10,000- 
12,000 feet. From the plants being in full flower and in some 
eases having vigorous young shoots it is obvious that they 
could not have been collected at 10,000 feet and over in April 
and early May. The sheets are much mixed and although 
collection. The specimens on this sheet are (a & b) A. Daltonianus 
Bunge, (c & d) A. psilocentros, Fisch. The next sheet is dated 
2nd May 1848 and came from between Srinagar and Pampur. 
The elevation of Srinagar is about 5250 feet and Pampur not 
much more. Of the specimens on this sheet a, b, and d are 
A. Dalionianus, Bunge. The next sheet is dated 10th May 
1848 and Thomson’s specimens came from the Banahal Valley 
at about 4000-5000 feet. On this sheet specimen (a) is A. psilo- 
centros, Fisch. and the label showing that one of the specimens 
was collected by Flemming in the Salt Range or Murree hills 
doubtless. refers to it. The remaining specimens are A. Dalion- 
tanus, Bunge. The last sheet is dated 12th May 1848 on which 
date Thomson was at Nasmon on the Chenab, the elevation of 
which Thomson states in his journal to be 2700 feet (p. 303). 
The specimens on this sheet are a, b, and d, A. Daltonianus, 
Bunge, c, A. psilocentros, Fisch. A sheet of Thomson’s in Herb. 
Bentham gives the elevation at which A. Dalionianus, Bunge, 
occurs as 5500-7000 feet, which may be accepted as correct 
as it ene with the heights at which other collectors have found 
this plant. Bunge appears to have been misled by a specimen 
of A. papoliarie, Fisch. as he states that the stipules are connate 
passes gradually into the form of standard found in A. cicerifolius, 
Royle ex Fischer with which it should be united. 
_ A. psilocentros, Bunge, is Fischer’s plant. 
A. cicerifolius, Royle ex Bunge. It is not known what 
plant Royle called A. cicerifolius. As neither Bunge nor
