198 PLANTAE CHINENSES FORRESTIANAE. 
It was collected before in the Lichiang Range, “ in limestone 
rocks not far below the limit of perpetual snow, in alt. 16,000 ft.,”’ 
by Delavay (No. 2452, in herb. Paris). 
This form of the Evtocoryne-Section is different from any of 
the Himalayan ones which I have seen in the Kew Herbarium. 
It is easily distinguished from the S. gossypiphora, growing in the 
same range, by its habit, as well as the numerous differences in the 
structure of the involucral bracts and corollas. 
Saussurea euodonta, Diels. Sp. nov. 
Caulis 0°3-0°6 m. altus, superne pubescens, basin versus glab-

“Plant of 1-2 ft. Flowers deep purplish crimson. Dry, 
shady situations in and on the margins of pine ee on the 
eastern flank of the Lichiang Range. Lat. 25°40. NN. -Alt. 
Io-11,000 ft. August 1906.’ G. Forrest. No. oe 
“ Plant of 1-2 ft. Flowers reddish-purple. Grassy openings 
in pine forests on the eastern flank of the Lichiang Range. Lat. 
27° 20’ N. Alt. ro-11,000 ft. August 1906.” G. Forrest. 
No. 2823. 
In habit, this species is similar to S. oligantha, Franch., of 
North-east Szechuan, the leaves of which are ovato-cordate, with 
the basal lobes being produced, and which has the outer row of the 
pappus nearly half as long as the inner one. 
A closely allied species is S. Cavaleriei, Lév. et Van. (of Kuei 
chou), but the leaves of that species are less cuneate towards 
the base, the teeth are more numerous and smaller, the heads 
more numerous, and the outer pappus completely wanting.
