“Mekong and Yangtse valleys, dry hillsides. 5-go00 ft. 
Yunnan. September rgo4.’”’ G, Forrest. No. 396, partly. 
A much reduced specimen with a simple spike belongs 
apparently to this species. “ Plant of 1-15 ft. Flowers bright 
blue. Dry, open, grassy situations, Mekong valley, near Fu-mo- 
Ti, Mekong-Salwin divide. Lat.27°N. Alt. zooo ft. November 
1905.”’ G. Forrest. No. 1066. 
Another low specimen has white flowers. ‘‘ Plant of 16 
inches, with thick napiform tuber-root. Open mountain. 
meadows on the eastern flank of the Lichiang Range. Lat. 
27° 12’ N. Alt. 10-11,000 ft. September 1906.” G. Forrest. 
No. 2986. 
This species is recognised by the broad doubly or rather 
unequally serrate leaves. Of the long-styled species, it has the 
shortest disc. Otherwise the flower is not unlike that of A. 
vupincola, Hemsl., the leaves of which are much narrower.
