The elongated linear-lanceolate leaves and discoid capitulum 
make this species a very distinct one in the genus.

Cremanthodium bulbilliferum, W.W.Sm. Sp. nov. 
Species affinis C. Decaisnet, Clarke a quo foliis caulinis 3-4 
magnopere vaginatis atque bulbilliferis divergit. 
Planta ad 30 cm. alta radicibus carnosulis multis praedita. 
Caulis sat validus infra puberulus et subglabrescens, supra ad 
capitulum solitarium dense nigrido-villosulus. Folia radicalia 
pauca, sub anthesin 2-3, petiolo ad 11 cm. longo glabro suffulta ; 
lamina reniformis 3~5 cm. diametro, apice bene rotundata, basi 
alte cordata, margine laticrenata, crenaturis abrupte apiculatis, 
in sicco papyracea, utrinque glabra vel margine et ad inser- 
tionem petioli pilis rarissimis praedita, supra laete viridis, infra 
saepe purpurascens, nervis palmatim dispositis utrinque sub- 
conspicuis ; folia caulina 3-4 plus minusve orbicularia supra 
decrescentia, I.5-3 cm. diametro, vagina valde dilatata saepe 
laminam aequante praedita, petiolo ipso nunc ad 1.5 cm. longo 
nunc obsoleto ; lamina ei foliorum radicalium similis; bulbilli 
plures ovoidei circ. 4 mm. longi in vagina inclusi. Capitulum 
3 cm. longum, in sicco ad 3 cm. latum; involucri phylla uni- 
seriata ad 12, circ. 2 cm. longa, 4 mm. lata, oblonga, apice acuta 
saepe paulo fimbriata, extra pilis nigridis conspersa. Flores 
aurantiaci; disci florum corolla circ. 8 mm. longa; ligulae ad 
2.5 cm. longae, circ. 7 mm. latae, anguste oblanceolataé 2-3- 
dentatae; pappus 8 mm. longus albus; stigmata vix apice 
incrassata ; achaenia oblonga haud matura glabra. 
“West China:—On Doker-la, Mekong-Salween divide, 
Yunnan, in open alpine meadows. Lat. 28° 20’ N. Alt. 13,000 
ft. Plant of g-12 inches. Ray florets dull orange, disc florets 
a deeper shade. Bulbils in axils of stem foliage. Aug.—Sept. 
1918.” G. Forrest. No. 17,2209. 
This species is closely allied to C. Decaisnei, Clarke and 
C. reniforme, Benth., differing chiefly in the huge vaginae of the 
more numerous cauline leaves with enclosed bulbils. Its marked 
pubescence distinguishes it further from the latter.
