Widely distributed throughout the Western Himalayan area at elevations between 
7,000 and 10,000 feet, flowering during July and August. It extends eastwards from 
Kashmir to Sikkim, E. Tibet and China, and through Afghanistan to Europe and 
N. Asia, occurring also in N. America. 
In G. marginata of Lindley the leaves are uniformly green, the raceme is longer and more compact 
and the slenderly acuminate floral bracts are much longer than the flowers. I am inclined to believe 
that it will prove to be a distinct species. 6. repens (proper) enters India from the direction of 
Europe through Afghanistan to Kashmir, and is found again in Sikkim, whence it extends to China, 
whereas G. marginata occupies the intermediate area of the Himalaya between Simla and Nepal.
