The preseut plant was formerly refen-ed to C. indica ; but the plant is 

 sUglitly diiferent from the Indian species, as is seen from the specimen of 

 the species collected by Mr. T. Kawakami in Muugpoo at au elevation of 

 8000 ft. (Herb. Taihoku, Mungpoo 8000 ft. India. Jau. 26, 1912, FI. leg. 

 T. IvAWAKAMi). The leaves of this new plant are ovately acuminate, liroadest 

 iu the lower portion, whilc those of the Indian species are obovate, broadest 

 in the upjXir portion.
