EAST NIPAL; Tambur river, alt. 6-8000 ft., J. D. H. KHASIA MTS., Griffith (Kew 

 Dist. 3231), at Pomrang, alt. 5000 ft., J. D. H. cf T.T. 



I advance this species with great hesitation ; it is intermediate between Eoyleana 

 and cinnamomea, but is much larger than the former in all its parts and more robust, 

 and it differs from the latter species in its smaller foliage and larger heads with more 

 spreading bracts. This is certainly not A. Royleana, DC., of which I have seen 

 authentic specimens since the distribution of the Indian Herbarium. 



5. A. triplinervis, Clarke Comp. Ind. 105; stems rather stout often 

 flexuous leafy and leaves beneath, densely clothed with white wool, leaves 3-8 

 in. obovate or elliptic-oblong acute amplexicaul 3-5-nerved cobwebby above, 

 heads -f in. diam. in open or close corymbs, invol. bracts g in. long ovate- 

 lanceolate acute or subacute white. Antennaria triplinervis, Sims Bot. Mag. t.

 perfoliatum, Wall. Cat. 2937. G. cynoglossoides, Trevir. in Nov. Act. Nat. Cur.

TEMPERATE HIMALAYA; alt. 6-10,000 ft., from Kashmir to Bhotan. 



A very much larger more robust plant than A. nubigena, var. intermedia, with the 

 leaves sometimes 3 in. diam. and strongly amplexicaul or even auricled at the base ; 

 but small specimens come very close to large ones of that plant. 



6. A. subumbellata, Clarke Comp. Ind. 108; pubescent and gkndular, 

 greenish brown when dry, stem 12-16 in. erect rather slender leafy, leaves 1-2 

 in. linear-oblong acute or apiculate ^-amplexicaul obscurely 3-nerved green 

 above and beneath lowest spathulate, margins flat, heads many -f in. diam. 

 in rounded or subumbellate corymbs, invol. bracts nearly in. lanceolate acute 

 white. 



SEKKIM HIMALAYA ; Lachoong valley, alt. 10-12,000 ft., J. D. H. 

 A very distinct species, rather viscid, with sweet-smelling foliage when fresh, as 

 in A. Hookcri, which it a good deal resembles except in the larger heads. 



7. A. xylorhiza, Schultz-Bip. mss. ; clothed with soft spreading brown 

 wool, root very stout woody twisted, crown divided into many densely tufted 

 very short stout branches clothed with membranous leaf bases and tufted linear- 

 spathulate leaves |-f in. long, flowering stems 1-3 in. scape-like with linear- 

 oblong sessile leaves, heads many 3- in. diam. clustered, invol. bracts about 15 

 | in. long ovate subacute with a broad brown claw the length of the blade. 



SIKKIM HIMALAYA; Tibetan region, alt. 10-17,000 feet., J. D. H. Bagdwar in 

 Kumaon, alt. 8000 ft., Strach. $ Winterb. 



A very distinct species, gathered late, and I am hence uncertain whether the 

 invol. bracts always spread in a flowering state, their form is more that of the next 

 section. The plant in Herb. Strach. & Wint. has rather larger heads and more 

 lanceolate invol. bracts, but is, I think, the same species. 



SEKIES II. Heads - in. diam. ; invol. bracts erect incurved or somewhat 

 recurved, stellately spreading only after flowering. 



* Leaves flat, margins rarely recurved, 3 -7 '-nerved. Usually tall, stout, leafy 

 species. (See A. triplinervis in Series /., A. oblonga and zeylanica in **). 



8. A. cinnamomea, Clarke Comp. Ind. 104; stems 1-2 ft. usually 

 simple rather robust leafy and leaves beneath densely clothed with white grey 

 or cinnamomeous wool, 'leaves 2-4 in. spreading or horizontal tapering from 

 the middle to a ^-amplexicaul simple or auricled base and to the acute point 

 glabrous or woolly above 3-5-nerved, heads very many subglobose - ^ in. diam., 

 invol. bracts in. elliptic-ovate obtuse erect or incurved white opaque. Anten- 

 naria cinnamomea, DC. Prodr. vi. 270. A. Timmua, Don Prodr. 174. Gna-
