ICONKS PXiANTARUM. 



Closely allied to G. Uhetica (plate 1441), and possibly a state of that 

 plant, but smaller, with much longer narrovi-er leaves, and calys with 

 setaceoas teeth. Both these species were sent to me after the publica- 

 tion of the Gentianem in the ' Flo/a of British India.*— J. D. Hookee.

x.l.'^ IV ^'"^""f^l ^i^le Gentian, quite unlike any Indian species, for 

 which I am indebted to E. G. Loder, Esq., an enthusiastic cultivktor 

 ot hardy herbaceous plants, who received it from the collector. Mrs. 



was gathered, but believes it to have been in the Sind or Lidar Valley, 

 iiike the other Indian species described in this number of the Icones
