NAPELLUS. 151 
PROPERTIES AND USES: Unknown. See under А, violaccum. 
There is а specimen at Kew collected by Krassnoff on the Sari Jassi River in the Thianshan, to the 
east of Issik-kul, which agrees in every respect very well with А, rotundifolium, except іп the perfectly 
glabrous ovaries. It shares this peculiarity with A. rotundifolium var. tanguticum Maxim. (Flor. Tangut, 
p. 26), collected by Przewalski іп Amdo and in the Burchan Budda Mountains in North Tibet. The 
speoimens of this variety which I have seen differ, however, іп the всарове stem, the very short and 
broad leaf-segments and the curiously truncate neotary. This plant—which I would rather treat as 
a distinct species (Aconitum tanguticum)—was also collected by Potanin in Szechuen, China,
