The specimens in the Wallichian Herbarium of this very distinct species 

 were collected by the late M. Leschenault de la Tour in the Ncelgherries, a 

 considerable range of mountains in the Indian Peninsula. The shorter leaves, 

 sessile umbels, broader sepals, gibbous only at their base, and the greater 

 comparative length of the style, will readily distinguish it. Dr. Royle's spe- 

 cimens from Mussooree in the western Himalayas have the leaves longer, and 

 the flowers larger, but they otherwise agree with those from the Ncelgherries.
