This agrees with Franchet’s description, but the flowers are 
white. Basal leaves are wanting in Forrest’s specimen. 
It is very near the Himalaya Loxostemon pulchellus, Hook. f. 
et Thoms., of Sikkim, which should be placed with Cardamine. 
It differs chiefly by the ih eles leaves, but it remains to 
settle if this character is constant 
The three preceding species are closely allied, and may prove to 
be connected by numerous intermediate stages. They are very 
interesting, uniting, as they do, the rhizome of Dentaria with 
the foliage and habit of Eu-cardamine.
