TEMPERATE HIMALAYA ; abundant from 3-11,000 ft. KHASIA MTS. ; alt. 3-6000 

 ft. BIRMA. DISTRIB. Europe and Temp. Asia. 



A taller usually coarser plant than E. lonaicaule, with larger heads. To this 

 species many described ones are referable. Of E. Lambertianum, there is only one 

 specimen in Wallich's Herbarium, but there are many in Mr. Clarke's, all from the 

 Khasia ; it differs in the more rigid strongly triply-nerved leaves, that are also 

 strongly reticulated beneath, but passes into the commoner Khasian form of E. 

 cannabinum.
