Hook. f. et Th. 
Erecta glabriuscula. Folia lanceolata valde acuminata, omnia vaginantia, suprema approximata. Panicula 
elongata ad apicem bracteis magnis viridibus ovato-lanceolatis mox caducis ornata. Semina, ut capsula, ignota. 
Hab. Sikkim ad 2000-6000 ped. alt. 
Panicula post flores expansos bracteis bracteolisque destituta videtur qué noti hxe planta ab aliis Aclisiis facile diagnoscitur. 
Ab Anilemate lineolato (et aliis specicbus Anilematis huic proximis) specimina florifera caute distinguenda ; inprimis foliis supremis basi 
vaginantibus-vaginis imbricatis distinguuntur. 
Vidi specimina viva spontanea i. ¢. unico loco multas plantas vidi. 
Dr. Hasskarl refers this plant to Dicheespermum under the impression that the barren stamens are alternate with the fertile 
ones. The stamens are however those of Aclisia to which genus the plant by its whole habit belongs. The genus in the absence of 
ripe fruit, cannot be certainly ascertained.

Tinantia fugax (Scheidweiler) was collected on the hills near Mussoorie by Messrs, Atkinson and Levinge for a wild plant it must be naturalised
