1041. Indigofera rubro-violacea, Dunn [Leguminosae-Indigo- 
ferae] I. Gerardianae, Wall., affinis, sed racemis pedunculatis 
habituque laxo distincta. 
Frutex erectus, ramis elongatis gracilibus. Folia impari- 
pinnata, 5-6 cm. longa; foliola 6—-10-paria, oblongo-ovata, apice . 
- basique obtusa, mucronata, 0-8-1 cm. longa, utrinque tenuiter 
adpresse pubescentia, primo stipellata. Racemi foliis multo 
longiores, pedunculis 1°5-2 cm longis suffulti. Flores sub- 
sessiles, 0°9-1:1 cm. longi, rubro-violacei; bracteae filiformes. 
caducae. Calyx fere explanatus, 3 mm. longus, ut vexillum 
tenuiter sericeus; dentes ovato-caudati. Vezillum ovatum, 
0°8-1 cm. longum, breviter unguiculatum, ungue vix 1 mm.

Inp1a. Chamba State, Robert Ellis, 1880; Parthi, 2500 m. 
R. N. Parker ; Kashmir, Mari, Aug. 1880, A. P. Young (Herb. 
Brit. Mus.). Cult. Hort. Kew; Hort. Glasnevin. 
This species has long been in cultivation at Kew under the 
name I. Gerardiana. A very similar Indigofera of old cultivation 
in France was described by Ventenat in 1803 as J. macrostachya 
(Jard. Malm. t. 44). Both these species occur in Chamba, from 
which State excellent dried material has recently been received 
at Kew from Mr. R. N. Parker. All the Indigoferas of this 
group vary considerably in the number of leaflets and length 
of peduncles at different stages of their growth and offer few 
reliable characters for distinction in the herbarium. 
1042. Tanacetum Kennedyi, Dunn (Compositae—Anthemi- 
deae] 7’. nano, C. B. Clarke, affinis, sed inflorescentia subsessili et

laxe lanatus. Capitula 10-12, in caput 3-4 cm. latum congesta, 
~8 mm diametro, subsessilia. Involucrum campanulatum, 
parce lanatum; bracteae multiseriatae, lineares, 5-6 mm. longae,
