PRAEGER—SomeE Asiatic SEDUMS. 99 
An additional station may be added from the Kew 
Herbarium :— 
(6) West Szechuan and ‘Tibetan Frontier, chiefly near 
Tachienlu, gooo-13,500 feet. Sedum. Coll. A. E. Pratt, No. 
60. (This is a female plant, a tall untidy form with the only 
branched rhizome seen in the whole series examined). 
Hooker and Thomson (Journ. Linn. Soc. Bot., ii, 98) describe 
S. fastigiatum as having linear leaves. Clarke (in Hooker Flora 
Brit. India, ii, 419) says leaves linear-oblong, stems and leaves 
glabrous, cymes puberulo-pubescent. Two plants of fastigiatum 
which I have grown were wholly glabrous. S. venustum in 
. flower closely approaches fastigiatum, but the leaves are oblanceo- 
late or elliptic (up to % as broad as long), the stems roughened 
with papillae, and the cymes and bracts usually conspicuously 
mammillate. S. fastigiatum appears concentrated on if not con- 
fined to the Himalayas (I have not seen Forrest 6029, which M. 
Hamet records as fastigiatum), while S. venustum ranges over 
the region where Tibet, Yunnan and Burma meet. The species 
of this group are variable, and when not typical difficult to name. 
especially from dried material. 
S. viscosum, Praeger. 
Evidently a common plant in Southern China. It is the S. 
drvmarioides var. stellariaefolium of Hamet (Forrest 197, Henry 
4908, and Carles, Peking Hills, in Notes R.B.G. Edinb., viii, 
139, etc.) While typical drymarioides and typical viscosum are 
very different, intermediates exist, and probably they are best 
considered as extremes of an aggregate species. But stellariae- 
folium is not a good name for my plant, being described by 
Franchet as having whitish small flowers like typical dry- 
marioides (sepals 1 mm., petals 3 mm.) while in viscosum they 
are golden and large (sepals 2 mm., petals 5—5.5 mm). 
S. viviparum, Maxim.
