Of this plant I hâve been able lo examine three examples, Iwo ol" 

 which belong to Herb. Boissier, the third to Herb. Calcutta. The spécimens 

 from the Boissier Herbarium consist of llial portion of Szovitz' n» 113, 

 ■wiiich agrées with M. Boissier's description of C. i,ersica and of a plant 

 from Kaswin Ihat is conspecific wilh this part of Szovits' gathering. 



The Calcutta spécimen, collecled by Strauss, belonged originally to 

 !)'■ Stapfs herbarium and was Üiere doubtfuly referred to C. rutaefolia. 

 There are also examples of the same plant in the St. Petersburg Herba- 

 rium; tliere they are named C. /^ersic« and mixed with C. darwasica. 

 The nearest ally of this plant is C. macrocentra Regel, with which it 

 agrées in foliageand in form of corolla; it differs mainly in havingentire 

 bracts, those of C. macrocentra being incised, with apparently purple 

 flowers, those of C. macrocentra being yellow.
