“Plant of 6-12 inches. Flowers pale blue. Dry, stony 
situations on cultivated patches on plain at the north end of the 
Lichiang valley. Lat 27° 10’ N. Alt. 8500-go00 ft. May 
1906.” G. Forrest. No. 2133. 
This showy species is recognised by the narrow leaves and the 
dense spike with coloured bracts much longer than the flowers. 
It is allied to A. bracteosa, Wall., but I have not seen any form 
matching it. 
Ajuga lupulina, Maxim. var. major Diels. Var. nov.

This is a remarkable form of the species, much stronger and 
larger than the type or any form previously found, the leaves 
and bracts being much broader, some of them fully 8 cm. long 
and 3°5 cm. broad.
