Dr. Royle has well figured this plant, and aaa , in allusion 
to it, “ A species of this genus, sent by Mr. Moorcroft from near 
Ludak, and found by Mr. Inglis on the Berendo Pass, is common 
in the Himalayas at elevations of from 9,000 to 11,000 feet, as 
on Choor, Kedarhanta, and in Komaon, where the mountains are 
covered with snow for half the e year. This has been described by 
ae Don under the name of F. cirrosa, but is referred by Sprengel 
Dr. Wallich, and figured in the present work, tab. 92. f. 2, 
* the name of F. verticd/ata, Willd., a plant of Siberia and the 
Altai Mountains. But it is doubtful whether all included under 
this name belong to the same species.”—TI think it may be safely 
asserted that Dr. Royle’s plant, and Dr. Thomson’s and Captain 
Maunro’s, which have no cirrhi, are quite distinct from Willd. 
now’s I, verticillata, well figured under that name by Ledebour 
(Ie. Plant. Rar, Alt. vol. i. p. 3. t. 2), and by Dr. Graham in the 
ee & 3, under the name of /. deucantha. at has 
cirrhose leaves, white flowers, not tessellated, and the sepals have
