Senecio CuHota, W. W. Smith. Species Senecioni quin- 
quelobo, Hook. f. et Thoms. , proxima ; foliis 9—11 lobatis, inflores- 
centia robusta, phyllariis obtusis, pappo rubescente ita differt 
ut vix eadem haberi possit. 
Caulis erectus, simplex, 80—100 cm. altus, glaber vel parce 
albo-villosulus, racemo robusto ramoso terminali. Folia radi- 
calia delapsa ; caulina 6—10, plerumque 8 -12 cm. longa, 7—10 
parti angust subequans. Achenium 2 mm. longum, angus- 
tum, striatum ; pappus rubescens achenio multum longior. 
Sikkim :—In valle Chaking Chu dicta in montibus plu- 
viosis cholaensibus circ. 12—13000 ped. alt. Smith, 4134, Ribu

Non sine hesitatione quatuor novas species Saussurearum 
proposui, Mihi aliquatenus magistri sunt C. B. Clarkius et G. 
ingius qui multum laborem in Compositis indicisdederunt. Duo 
cl. viri Saussuream (cui nunc nomen nimborum est—vide infra) 
in affinitate S. piptathere posuerunt ; Kingius S. fibrosam 
hovam speciem esse in scheda scripsit. De J. Pantlingiana et 8. 
Laneana non dubitavi. 
SAUSSUREA FIBROSA, King, MS. Forsan varietas bhuta- 
nica polymorphe Saussuree Sughoo, Clarke ; sed ita habitu 
diversa ut cl. Kingius nomen S. fibrosam in scheda dederit. In 
hoe genere variabili hee planta proprius species distincta milita- 
tur, a Saussurea Sughoo multis minoribus agglomeratis capitulis 
separata. 
—12cm. longa, 
2—3 em. lata, anguste oblonga, runcinato-pinnatifida, segmentis 
A species very closely allied to Honesto ret d' 
3 4 quinquelobus H.f. and T. 
but of very different aspect in the field. S, Pa ts 29a is ioaenee as 
Clarke pointed out in omposi ndicce » & very polymorphic species, as 
re ; various parts of Sikkim 
se none of its forms approach the Chaking 
; erence i ini 
permit of ite being aieisiehs are in my opinion too many to
