In habit not unlike some forms of L. Stracheyi, Clarke, this 
species is easily distinguished from the Himalayan ally by its 
heterogamous flowers. It should be placed in the group Hetero- 
gama perfecta of Beauverd’s classification (Bull. Soc. Bot. Genéve, 
IQIO, p. 245).

This fine species is remarkably similar to the eligulate C. 
campanulatum (Franch.) Diels. ; in fact, there is a sort of mimicry 
between these two species, the involucral bracts of C. campanu- 
latum being extremely similar in texture, shape, and colour to 
the ligules of C. rhodocephalum. The nearest species to our new
