When I was at Kew, I compared the plant with the type of DUTHIE'S 

 plant and found that they are quite identical, although there are some 

 small differences between them. The calyx of our plant is half-closed after 

 flowering, but in the Indian plant, as we see in the figures cited above, it is 

 nearly reflexed. The prickles in the lattrr are much fewer and the leaves 

 are Larger.
