Gentianacez from Eastern Tibet and South- 
West China. 
BY 
GEORGE FORREST. 
With Plates XII.-XIX. 
Having gone to China in 1904 as Collector for Mr. A. K. Bulley 
of Ness, Neston, Cheshire, in the course of my travels during 
the past three years amongst the mountain ranges on and 
within the south-eastern tibetan frontier, I have sent to the 
Herbarium of the Royal Botanic Garden from time to time 
specimens of plants; the flora and these, along with a number I 
brought with me on my return to Britain, form a large col- 
lection of dried plants, accompanied by notes of locality, elevation, 
and features of the plant as seen by me growing. 
Much of the country has not been explored botanically 
hitherto, and therefore the collection contains many novelties 
and interesting forms. The following is a list of the Gentian- 
acez ; in subsequent numbers of these “ Notes” lists of plants 
of other families will appear. 
I have to express my indebtedness to Professor Bayley Balfour 
for his assistance in the determination of my collections, 
GENTIANA.
