202 PLANTAE CHINENSES FORRESTIANAE. 
to C. glomerata (Decne.) Hook. f. (Kashmir), but the leaves are 
obovate, the involucral bracts have not a white edge and are 
nearly glabrous. The ripe achaenia are unknown, but, in the 
young state, they seem different from those of C. glomerata. 
For the whole affinity compare Franchet, in Journ. de Bot. ix 
(1895), 255. 
Crepis rigescens, Diels. Sp. nov. 
Caules saepe plures, superne ramis virgatis praediti, 20-40 cm. 
longi, stricti, glabri, subangulati, subrigidi. Folia pauca, basalia 
petiolata, caulina subsessilia, anguste lineari-lanceolata, utrinque 
sensim angustata, 5-8 cm. longa, 2-8 mm. lata, glabra, margine 
+ revoluta. Corymbi rami subcurvati, rigidiusculi, bracteolis 
minutis subulatis praediti. Involucrum phyllis bracteoliformibus 
paucis auctum; phylla 8-12, lineari-lanceolata, basin versus 
parce et minute lanuginosa, marginibus pallidiora, ca. 8 mm 
longa, I mm. lata. Flores aurantiaco-flavi, 1°3-1°5 cm. longa. 
Pappi pili nivei 5-6 mm. longi. Ovarium glabrum ambitu

“Plant of g-18 inches. Flowers orange-yellow. Open, dry 
situations amongst oak and pine scrub on plain at north end 
of Lichiang oo ~ 27° 10’ N. Alt. gooo ft. May 1906.”

“Plant of r1o- 16 chan Flowers yellow. Dry, open situa- 
tions in pine scrub on the eastern flank of the Tali Range. Lat. 
25° 40° N. Alt. 8-10,000 ft. July-August 1906. W. Yunnan.” 
G. Forrest. No. 4050. 
Allied to C. chloroclada, Coll. et Hemsl., of the Shan hills, 
but differing in the more glabrous involucra and more numerous 
flowers of the heads. I have not seen the ripe achenes. Possibly 
our species is only a form of the Shan plant.
