The flora of Ladak, Western Tibet. I. List of Ladak plants 
RALPH RANDLES STEWART 
The terminology employed in the present list does not always 
agree with the most advanced usage in North America because 
of the desire to make it conform to that in Hooker’s Flora of 
British India (22). Hooker’s work is likely to be used in India 
for years to come, and Kew standards rather than American will be 
followed. Where Hooker’s name has been changed it is given as 
a synonym in parentheses. 
The identifications in most cases are my own, though I have 
had a great deal of assistance from members of the staff at the 
New York Botanical Garden and from Mr. Hutchinson of Kew, 
who kindly determined a number of difficult specimens. 
As my plants were all collected between July 17th and August 
21st, it is hardly necessary to print the date of each specimen and 
as Hooker is careful to give altitudes, only those that differ from 
his or those that seem specially noteworthy are given. A list 
of the heights of the localities mentioned is appended, however, 
so that the approximate height at which individual plants grew 
can be found out if desired. 
The following abbreviations are used: FBI, Hooker’s Flora of 
British India (22); Hend., Henderson and Hume’s Lahore to Yark- 
and (21); J.LS., J. L. Stewart's Punjab Plants (34), etc.; RE S:, 
R. R. Stewart. Species marked with an asterisk (*) were not 
found by me. ;
