exteriora breviora, interiora mediano viridia ceterum scarioso- 
hyalina, arachnoideo-pilosa. Flores ¢ circ. 6-8, % 10-16; 
corolla § 3-3'5 mm. longa, extus glandulosa. 
“ Dry, barren grassland. Head of Chien Chuan valley. Alt. 
8000 ft., 1904.” G. Forrest. No. 637. 
It was collected also by Delavay (No. 2943, in Herb. Paris, 
named “ A. vulgaris, L.”” by Franchet). 
This remarkable form of the vulgaris-affinity is recognised 
by the entire leaf-segments, nodding spikes, and bell-shaped 
heads. The inflorescence is similar to that of A. Argyi, Lév. et 
Vaniot, but this has quite different lower leaves. 
» Artemisia yunnanensis, J. F. Jeffrey. Sp. nov. 
Affinis A. vulgart sed habitu foliisque maxime differt. 
Caulis gracilis striatus albo-sericeus, basi suffrutescens, 
ramulis multis gracillimis foliosis. Folia infima non visa ; 
mediana 5-7 cm. longa, 1—pinnatifida, circumscriptione ovato- 
vel obovato-cuneata, superiora trilobata lobis integris rotundis 
apiculatis, suprema ovato-lanceolata integra, fere omnia basi 
auriculata, supra pubescentia, infra dense canescenti-villosa. 
Capitula 2 mm. diam., pauca, solitaria, rarius 2-3 approximata 
ramos laterales terminantia vel in apice inflorescentiam spici- 
formem elongatam laxissimam gracillimam formantia. 
“ Hoching and Lichiang valleys, Yunnan; dry ground base 
of hills. September 1904.’ G. Forrest. No. 674 
[A similar plant is Delavay, No. 612. (‘‘ Che cho tse au-dessus 
de Tapintze’’), but it has the flowers much more numerous. 
Franchet named it “‘ Artemisia vulgaris, L., forma indica,” in Herb. 
Paris —Diels. } 
Although at first sight very distinct from any of the forms 
of A. vulgaris, Linn., this plant, after further observation with 
fuller material from the Indo-Chinese region, may have to be 
placed under that protean species. Indeed there is a specimen 
from China in the Kew Herbarium (Henry 64) closely approaching 
the present plant which has been named provisionally by Prof. D. 
Oliver A. vulgaris, var.? This differs from Forrest’s chiefly in 
the fewer and larger capitula. 
The habit is more slender and graceful than that of A. vul- 
garis, Linn.
