but the carpophore is much dilated at the base ; the calyx-segments in fruit by ^

 but it cannot well be removed far from C. denticulatum, Var. zeylanica.

TEMPERATE W. HIMALAYA, alt. 7-11,000 ft., from Kashmir to Kumaon frequent ; 

 Boyle, Strachey, $ Winterbottom, &c. 



Erect 1^-3 feet, hairy. Leaves 4 by 2 in., in Royle's type, often narrower, entire, 

 lower attenuated at the base. Bacemes dense, in fruit 1 -4 in. ; pedicels short, lower 

 in fruit \ in. Calyx-lobes in flower by ^ in., elliptic, obtuse, villous. Corolla-tube 

 shorter than the calyx-lobes, segments in. Anther-cells oblong, divaricate at the 

 base, tips shortly emergent above the corolla-throat, covered by the depressed cone 

 of scales. Nutlets with very stout glochidia ; carpophore conic, style |- in. 



9. C. nervosum, Benth. ms. ; cauline leaves numerous subsessile elliptic 

 or oblong acute sparsely hirsute on both surfaces, calyx-lobes in fruit in.,, 

 outer faces of the nutlets f in. ovate marginate densely glochidiate. Om-

WESTERN HIMALAYA; Kulu, Jalauri Pass, Edgeworth; Pangee, alt. 12,000 ft., 

 Dr. Watt. 



Generally resembling C. microglochin, but with laxer racemes, larger flowers, and 

 different indumentum. Cauline leaves 4 by l in., hairs on the upper surface from 

 tubercles, on the lower lax; nerves not prominent. Bacemes 1-6 in., lax ; lower 

 pedicels - in. Corolla f in. diam., widely campanulate, tube very short. Nutlets 

 not fully ripe, much more closely glochidiate than in C. microglochin ; carpophore 

 shortly conical at the base, style in. 



10. C. petiolatum, A. DC. Prodr. x. 149 ; cauline leaves few ovate 

 acute minutely softly hairy beneath, calyx-lobes in fruit % in., outer faces of 

 the nutlets in. ovate marginate sparsely glochidiate. Anchusa petiolata, 

 Hook. Bot. Mag. t. 3858. 



ALPINE WESTERN HIMALAYA ; Zanskar, near Umasi Pass, T. Thomson. 



Erect, 2-3 feet, hairy. Lower leaves oblong, long-petioled ; petiole of the radical 

 leaves 5 in. . Bacemes straggling, branched, 4-8 in. in fruit ; pedicels very short, 

 lower scarcely j in. Calyx-lobes in flower |- in., elliptic, obtuse, hairy. Corolla ^ in. 

 diam., tube hardly longer than the calyx. Nutlets as of Cynoglossum, faces but little 

 glochidiate except on the margins. Flowers intermediate in size between those of 

 the two last species and those of C.furcatum, &c. No authentic example of C. petio- 

 latum has been seen ; and Thomson's examples are referred to that species, only 

 because Bot. Mag. t. 3858, closely resembles them ; the leaves in Thomson's plant 

 here described are hairy on both surfaces, in the picture they appear glabrous, ciliate 

 on the margin only. 



DOUBTFUL SPECIES. 



C. EDaErwoRTHii, A. DC. Prodr. x. 150 ; stem erect hispid below, leaves ovate - 

 oblong narrowed at both ends adpressedly hairy, calyx-lobes ovate obtuse short, nut- 

 lets ovate glochidiate on all sides. 



HIMALAYA ; alt. 4-6000 ft., Edgeworth. 



Differs from C. micranthum by the flowers twice as large, the corolla longer to- 

 wards (? in proportion to) the calyx, the leaves seldom subdenticulate.
