The specimens are branched

leaves, and lanceolate to ovate-spatulate upper leaves which may, 

 when relatively narrow, be conduplicate. 'I'he stem is stout: 

 the leaves rather firm : tlie flowers large, with or without fimbriae ; 

 the calyx- teeth ovate and slightly recurved at the tip, with a 

 conspicuous scarious margin. 



The fimbriation in the throat of thft flowftra is a,

 of the plants from the north, and in none from the west of the Vale. 

 This obsei^vation is of great interest. In the following list the 

 first named plants are those with narrowest leaves, and the last 

 named with broadest leaves; i.e. it is a series progressing from 

 G. marginata of the Herbarium Tndiae Orien talis to G. Hugeltz: 

 it will be seen from it that fimbriation of the flower is not

 The reader will observe that the plants, at the beginning of the
