acuminata, nervi primarii circ. 3-4, utrinque a costa arcuato- 
adscendentes. Folia caulina inferiora basalibus similia, superiora

“ Plant of 12-18 inches. Flowers dark crimson, almost black.

the Lichiang Range. Lat. 27° 12’ N. Alt. 10-11,000 ft. June

This seems to be related to C. nervosum, Benth., of the Western 
Himalaya, but is very different in the shape of its leaves and the 
ack and crimson flowers. In habit it is not unlike Paracaryum 
glochidiatum (A. DC.), Benth. 
quo Omphalodes Forrestii, Diels. Sp. nov.

herbacea, hispida, subtus pallidiora, elliptica vel ovato-elliptica, 
4-6 cm. longa, 2°5—3 cm. lata ; nervi praeter costam vix prominuli. 
Cymae pedunculatae axillares bracteatae. Flores subsessiles. 
Sepala hirsutissima, lanceolata, 4 mm. longa, demum longiores. 
Corollae coeruleae tubus antrorsum constrictus, 4-5 mm. longus, 
limbi lobi breves, 2 mm. longi, suborbiculares. Squamulae parvae,

This is nearly related to Omphalodes trichocarpa, Maxim. 
(Tangut), but much stouter, with larger, much broader leaves.
