Tibet : Horpa Tso, at 17,500 feet, where there was very little 



vegetation of any kind, Deasy & Pike, 827. 



Dr. W. G. Thorold collected a single specimen (33) of what appears 

 to be the same species, at an elevation of 17,600 feet. He does not 

 give the exact locality, but merely states that it grew in water-logged 

 stony soil. Mr. Arnold Pike notes that it was very scarce, and 

 describes the flower-heads as having a yellow ray and orange centre. -
