5. P. (Aleurita) Telemachica, F. W. Klatt.—Root fleshy, thick, 
fibrous. Leaves ovate-lanceolate, acute, wrinkled ; underneath closely, 
roughly, and perspicuously veined, on the edge densely glandulous 
and fimbriated, tapering towards the sheathing base. Leaves sur- 
rounded by leaf-like, broad, ovate, spathulate scales, which underneath 
towards the point are purplish, and on the midrib as well as on the 
margin glandulous and fimbriated. Scapes erect, round, longer than 
the leaves. Involucral leaflets longer than the pedicels, ovate-lan- 
ceolate, concave, at the base embracing the scape, on the top long 
pointed. Calyx angular, short, 5-cleft ; segments acute, orange-coloured 
towards the point. Tube of corolla cylindrical, longer than the calyx. 
Limb consisting of 5 obcordate, deeply-incised lobes.—This species 
much resembles P. elegans, Duby, but the last is quite glabrous, has 
long pedicels, no scales, and differently-shaped involucels. N. 13,085, 
Central Himalaya, province of Nepal, locality environs of Kathmandu, 
height 5000 to 7000 feet, collected March 4-8 1857. The annual 
mean temperature in this region is 55° to 60° F.; the amount of rain 
about 60 inches a year, chiefly varying with the distance from the sea. 
The name ** Telemachica ” was chosen in due acknowledgment of the 
zeal of the travellers, for being the same in meaning as their own ; at 
the same time, it may serve to draw attention to a remarkable instance 
of identity of name in ancient Greek and German.
