60 DIAGNOSES SPECIERUM NOVARUM. 
* Hills to the N.W. of Tengyueh. Lat. 25° ro’ N. Alt. 
7000 it. Shrub of 12-20 ft. In fruit. Amongst scrub. June 
tg12.”’ G. Forrest. No. 8079. 
I have compared this species with numerous Himalayan and 
Neilgherry specimens of P. integrifolia, Lindl. and P. Notontana, 
Wight and Arn.; it differs chiefly in the much larger flowers ; 
the stamens are four times as long.
