fere ad medium 5-lobus, lobis obovato-oblongis acutis, cirea 9 mm. longus, extra 
plus minusve glaber, lobis intra stellato-tomentosis. Corolla alba, circa 1°2 cm.

In this species, as in many others with much-lobed leaves, the lamina is really trifid, 
but owing to the strong development of the lateral segments it appears to be multi- 
lobed. 
In the arrangement and shape of the leaf-lobes XN. Friesit shows relationsbips to 
N. obcuneata, N. ulophylla, N. transandina, N. pulvilla, and N. famatinensis ; but it is 
distinguished by the very regularly curved margin of its lamina, due to the fact that the 
small densely crowded lobule are all of about the same length. The more or less 
transversely oval outline of the lamina is also characteristic of this species. This species 
and N. flabellata, collected by Conway, occur at the greatest altitudes as yet recorded 
for the genus.

The caudex in this specimen measured 2 em. in diameter and 22 cm. in length to the 
commencement of the root-forking. The “ cushion ” was 4'5 em. in diameter. A figure 
of the leaf is given (Pl. 28. fig. 7). 
In the following diagram an attempt has been made to give a graphie representation 
of the probable relationships of some of the more obviously related species already 
described :—

Of the other species described in the preceding pages, N. flabellata appears to be more 
nearly allied to the species of the pedicularifolia group (v. p. 244), while N. condensata, 
N. nigrescens, N. Hartwegii, N. coccinea, and N. obtusa seem to have their nearest allies 
with N. phyllanthos &c. (v. p. 235). 2m 2
