Alpine Himalaya ; from KASHMIR to BHOTAN, alt. 9000-17,000 ft., abundant. 



Stems 8-18 in. high, leafy, glandular, often finally glabrous. Kadical leaves long- 

 petioled, narrowed into the petiole or (var. parnassifolia} ovate, subcordate ; cauline 

 i-2 in., ovate or broad oblong. Sepals at length reflexed. Petals with 4 stalked 

 glands at their base, 1| 2 times the sepals. Styles very short. Capsule ovate-oblong. 

 Seeds angular, testa smooth somewhat plaited. 



14. S. corymbosa, H.f.fy. T. in Journ. Linn. Soc. ii. 70 ; flowers corym- 

 bose rarely 3-1, leaves shining generally glabrous, radical leaves long-petioled 

 lanceolate not large, peduncles glandular upwards not villous. Engler Monoa.

SIKKIM and EASTEBN NIPAI/, alt. 11,000-14,000 ft.; Lachoong, &c., Wallanchoon, 

 J. D. H., C. B. Clarke. 



Stems 3-8 in. high, much less stout than those of S. diversifolia. Stem-leaves 

 -1 in., oblong or ovate, sometimes sessile and stem-clasping, sometimes narrowed 

 suddenly just above the base. Petals obovate, twice the sepals. Styles short. Capsule 

 ovate ; sepals at length deflexed. Seeds ellipsoid, subtrigonous, smooth. 



This differs from S. diversifolia in being much smaller with smaller leaves and 

 flowers. The starved 1-3-flowered examples of S. corymbosa may be distinguished 

 from the Indian S. Hirculus by the peduncles being glandular but scarcely brown - 

 villose. 



SECT. Til. Boraphila (as to the Indian species). Sepals more or less 

 united, patent or reflexed in fruit. Petals white. Leaves undivided, dentate or 

 crenate. 



15. S. strig-osa, Wall, in Sternb. Saxifrag. Suppl. t. 22 ; whole plant 

 strigose, leaves near the base of the stem falsely rosulate, upper leaves small al- 

 ternate sessile deflexed, calyx in fruit patent nearly free. Wall. Cat. 448 ; H.f.
