Franctiel places this plant as a variety of G. argentea, Royle, in. 
his diagnoses incorporated by Forbes and Hemsley in the Journal 
of the Linnean Society, and with that species it is no doubt 
closely allied, if distinct. My plant is slightly different from the 
albescens of Franchet. Its stem below the leaves is densely pilose ; 
the cauline leaves are all ovate; the calyx lobes are equal in length 
to the calyx tube; the corolline plicze are nearly equal in length to 
the corolline lobes and are crenate with a slightly bifid apex.
