hutan. Pumo La Timpu, W. Alt. 13,000 ft. Shrub on 
hilltops. Flowers yellow. R.E. Cooper. No. 3903. 15th May 
IQI5. : 
This is a distinct species of the Anthopogon series. It re- 
sembles somewhat the N.W. Himalayan yellow-flowered Rh. 
hypenanthum, Balf. f. for long confused with Rh. anthopogon, 
Don, but is distinguished at sight by the absence from its 
branches of clusters of persistent leaf-bud scale-leaves. From true 
Rh. anthopogon, Don the colour of the flower of Rh. haemonium 
is also diagnostic as it is from Rh. fragrans, Maxim. The 
glabrous character of its calyx also separates.
