» R. lanatum, Hook. fil. Tap. XVI. 
Has. Sikkim-Himalaya, at Jongri and Chola. Elev. 10-12,000 feet. 
27. R. fulgens, Hook. fil. Tan. XXV. 
Has. Sikkim-Himalaya. Elev. 12-14,000 feet. 
28. R. eruginosum, Hook. fil. Tas. XXII. 
Has. Sikkim-Himalaya. Elev. 12-14,000 feet. 
29. R. campylocarpum, Wook. fil. Tan. XXX. 
Has. Sikkim-Himalaya. Elev. 11-14,000 feet. 
V. Calyx short, coriaceous, 5-lobed or 5-dentate, lobes short, one (the upper) generally elongated, sometimes 
subulate. Corolla funnel-shaped, tube narrowed, lobes rounded or acute. Stamens 10-20. Ovary 5-10- 
celled —Shrubs. Leaves lepidote beneath. Flowers closely capitate. 
30. R. Maddeni, Hook. fil. Tas. XVIII. 
Has. Sikkim-Himalaya. Lachen and Lachoong valleys, very rare. Elev. 6,000 feet. 
31. R. cinnabarinum, Hook. fil. Tas. VIII. 
Has. Sikkim-Himalaya ; chiefly in valleys and on the skirts of woods, elev. 10-12,000 feet, abundant. #7. June ; 
Jr. November. 
Note. Shrub six feet high, very elegant ; branches and branchlets virgate. Corymb spreading. Peduncles half 
an inch long. Flowers pendent. Capsules small, half an inch long, ovate, obtuse.—One of the most elegant 
species of the genus, but very inefficiently represented at our Tab. VIII. Its pendulous or drooping flowers, 
when in perfection, are peculiarly graceful. It is universally considered poisonous to cattle and goats: of the 
latter I have seen many die, from eating either of this or of a species of Andromeda ;—which latter is 
notorious for this property throughout Sikkim, Nepal, and N. W. Himalaya. If employed for fuel, the smoke 
of 2. cinnabarinum causes the eyes to inflame and the cheeks to swell. 
32. R. Roylei, Hook. fil. Tas. VII. 
Has. Sikkim-Himalaya. Elev. 10-11,000 feet. 
Note. Very near, it must be confessed, to R. cinnabarinum. 
VI. Calyx subfoliaceous, 5-partite, lobes coriaceous or membranaceous. Tube of the corolla short, tinged at the 
base, the lobes patent, concave. Stamens 8-10. Style subclavate, short, decurved, valid. Stigma 
thickened, diseiform. Ovary 5-celled.—Shrubs, often small, epiphytes or terrestrial. Leaves (eacept in 
R. pendulum) densely lepidote. 
33. R. camellieflorum, Hook. fil. Tas. XXVIII. 
Has. Sikkim-Himalaya ; generally pendent from the trunks of trees, sometimes rocks. Elev. 9~11,000 feet.
