This species is allied to H. fulva, Linn., which is cultivated by 
the natives of Yunnan, and also growing wild (as var. 8 angusti- 
folia, Bak.) in the mountains of the Lichiang district. The new 
species is different from it in its narrow perianth with a remarkably 
short tube, the leaves are much broader than those of H. fulva, 
var. B angustifolia, which are only 0°4—0°8 cm. wide in the speci- 
mens collected near Talifu by Forrest.
