13. S. linearifolium, Royle HI t. 48 ; stems 3-5 in. and with the leaves 

 glabrous, leaves - f in. imbricate narrow oblong or linear entire or toothed, 

 cymes 2-8-flowered, sepals oblong-lanceolate, petals nearly in. long broad- 

 lanceolate. H. f. 8f T. in Journ. Linn. Soc. ii. 100. S. pauciflorum, Edgw.

TEMPERATE WESTERN HIMALAYA, alt. 7000-10,000 ft.; GURWHAL, KUMAON, &c. ; 

 Royle, Falconer, T. Thomson, &c, 



A species easily recognised by the large white petals (but H. f. & T. say red ?). 

 Sepals not ovate in Var. pauciflorum, but as in the typical linearifolium. Edge worth's 

 S. mucronatum is identically his S. pauciflorum as shown by H. f. & T. 



VAK. 1. typica; leaves dentate. 



VAR. 2. pauciflorum ; leaves little dentate or entire. 



14. S. trifidum, Watt. Cat. 7230; stems 3-11 in. glabrous, leaves 2-4 

 in. petioled oblong sinuate-pinnatifid, or 1-2-pinnatifid with linear blunt lobes, 

 cymes branched leafy, sepals narrow-lanceolate, petals linear-lanceolate twice 

 the sepals. H. f. $ T. in Joum. Linn. Soc. ii. 100. S. sinuatum, Royle III.

TEMPERATE HIMALAYA from SIKKIM to KASHMIR, alt. 6000-12,000 ft., common 

 on rocks and on trees. 



Cymes leafy. Flowers pedicelled, pink. Follicles when ripe very thin-walled. A 

 well-marked abundant species in which however the leaves vary between the wide 

 limits given above. 



SECT. III. Annuals, or perennials with no thick rootstock. Flowers herma- 

 phrodite. Seeds obovoid, not compressed, the testa not loose. 



* Follicles 5, erect in fruit. Radical leaves rosulate. 



15. S. rosulatum, Edgw. in Trans. Linn. Soc. xx. 48; stems 2-4 in., 

 cauline leaves -f in. somewhat remote spathulate-obovate or spathulate- 

 orbicular, sepals oblong glabrous rarely minutely pubescent, petals white elliptic 

 or oblong not very acute. H. f. fy T. in Journ. Linn. Soc. ii. 101. S. pyriforme,

KUMAON to KASHMIR, alt. 5000-9000 ft. ; frequent, Royle, Falconer, T. Thomson, 

 Edgeworth, &c. DISTRIB. Afghanistan. 



Stem glabrous, more rarely glandular-pubescent. Eosulate leaves -l| i n - 8 P a ~ 

 thulate or elongate obovate. Cymes weak, straggling, often subsecund or subscor- 

 pioid with long pedicels -1 in. long. Follicles small, thin-walled, erect. Seeds ellip- 

 soid, somewhat obvoid, smooth, longitudinally striate. 



16. S. adenotrichum. Wall. Cat. 7231; stems 3-9 in. glandular- 

 pubescent, cauline leaves f in. somewhat remote oblong narrowed below or 

 obovate, sepals oblong minutely pubescent, petals white often with pink stripes 

 lanceolate acute. H.f. 8f T. in Journ. Linn. Soc. ii. 101, excl. Var. 0. ; Edgw.

KTJMAON to KASHMIR, alt. 3000-8000 ft. ; frequent. Wallich, T. Thomson, Strachey 

 $ Winterbottom, &c. 



Kosulate leaves -l in. spathulate or elongate obovate. Cymes lax with pedicels 

 -1 in. long, often with two or more erect elongate branches. Follicles thin-walled, 

 erect. Seeds obovoid, ellipsoid, smooth, longitudinally striate. This species may be 

 generally distinguished from S. rosulatum by its larger size, stronger cyme, and more
