description ; but his too brief notes on the flower probably point 
to poor material or inadequate observation. With the main 
points of his description the specimens agree.

This species was recently (Journ. of Bot. liv (1916) Suppl. pp. 
16-18) described by Hamet from plants collected in Sikkim by 
Smith and Cave in 1909 (Nos. 1206, 1299) at 12,000-16,000 feet. 
The specimens, which are very fully described, are all male. 
The species is remarkable among the Rhodiolas for having a 
slender branched rhizome which emits many slender suckers, 
which on coming to the surface give rise to a new tuft of flowering 
shoots. Among described species ot Rhodiola this habit is 
unique, but as figured in a forthcoming paper in Journ. Roy. 
Hort. Society a plant of S. crassipes, Wall. in my garden behaved 
in an exactly similar manner. Another of similar habit, S. dis- 
color, is mentioned in the present paper. Some other species 
(e.g., S. himalense, Don) are capable of sending out slender 
sucker-like shoots if the rhizome is injured below the ground : 
».these, on reaching the surface, proceed to develop flowering shoots 
from the axils of their scale-leaves, and the sucker thickens 
and elongates into a normal aerial caudex. As S. Cretini i is re-
