“In moist places, on roots of trees, wet rocks, and shady 
situations. Alt. g-12,000 ft. Niu Chang Pass, Yunnan. 
1904.”’ G. Forrest. No. 553. 
This is a third species of the A /ernifolia,ser.Incisa(of Franchet’s 
Monograph), which differs from C. Griffithit by its more compact 
inflorescence with less divaricate branches, the much shorter 
lobes of the leaves which are deeply cordate, the smaller, more 
campanulate flowers, and the slenderer sepals, which are yellow 
(not green) and not spreading. From C. nudicaule, Bge., to 
which it seems to be nearest, of North-eastern Asia (and Kansu), 
it differs by its larger size, the smaller crenatures of leaves and 
the texture and colour of the sepals.
