This interesting plant has been collected before by Delavay, 
and in ms. named “ Gnaphalium nubigenum, Wall., var. likian- 
gense, Franch.,”’ by Franchet,in Herb. Paris. It is quite a different 
plant from G. ltkiangense, Franch., as published in Journ. de 
Botan. x (1896), p. 410. A. chlamydophylia, Diels, is easily 
recognised by the two different modes of indumentum; the 
rosulate leaves of the sterile stolons being clothed with a rather 
woolly tomentum, the cauline leaves provided with a shining 
skin-like cover of densely woven hairs.

‘Plant of 6-12 inches. Flowers white, involucral bracts

From the structure of the leaves this may be placed near 
the very variable A. contorta (Don) Hook. f. of the Himalayan 
and Khasia Hills. More material is wanted for an exact delimi- 
tation of the two species.
