Ms arse Onosma Forrestii, W.W.Sm. Sp. nov. 
Species affinis O. paniculato, Bur. et Franch. et O. conferto, 
W. W. Sm. sed corolla minore, intus basi annulo capillorum 
longorum alborum praedita, antheris liberis inter alia distincta. 
Specimen mancum vidi. Folia eis O. conferti subsimilia sed 
minus albo-tomentosa. Inflorescentia densior quam apud con- 
generes citatos, undique densissime albido-setulosa. Calyx circ. 
1 cm. longus, in lobos quinque lineares partitus, dense setulosus. 
Corolla vix calyce longior, anguste tubulosa dense adpresse 
albido-setulosa ; lobi 2 mm. longi ovati acuti; corolla interior 
lineis quinque albo-tomentosis fere ad basin percursa ; ad basin 
tubi squamae nectariferae rotundatae, longe albo-tomentosae, 
annulum formantes. Stamina ad quartam corollae partem 
libera, filamentis filiformibus glabris, antheris liberis, apice 
acutis. Stylus filiformis tandem paululo e corolla exsertus, 
glaber vel minute sparse pilosulus. ; 
Grown by Bees Limited, July 1912, from seeds sent by their 
collector G. Forrest in r910 from Yunnan, Western China. This 
species is closely allied to Onosma paniculatum, Bur. et Franch. 
and O. confertum, but differs altogether in the details of the 
flower.
