who know the plants as they grow. The section includes four very distinct and easily

 been found. The following key will enable their separation : — 

 Erect shrubs 5-10 feet high ; (leaves oblong or ovate -lanceo- 

 late, acute, rounded at base) ; bracts f -1 in. long : — 

 Lateral nerves all subequal 8-10 pairs ; bracts 1 in., finely 

 puberulous, usually all obscurely cuspidate (some- 

 times the highest slightly emarginate) ... ... 1. F. strobilifera. 



Lateral nerves 4-6 pairs, the basal pair longer, stronger 

 and more oblique than the rest ; bracts f in. softly 

 hirsute with long hairs usually all slightly emarginate 

 (sometimes the lowest obscurely cuspidate) ... 2. F. bracteata. 



Low shrubs 1-3 feet high ; bracts emarginate f-f in. long : — 

 Leaves ovate subacute or obtuse with subcordate base, 

 bract f in. long, sparsely hirsute on the nerves with 

 long adpressed hairs ; habit trailing ... ... 3. F. fruticulosa. 



Leaves lanceolate with cuneate base ; bracts f in. long, 



softly pubescent with long spreading white hairs ... 4. F. fiuminalis.

The following are the localities from which specimens of this 

 species have been reported to Herb. Calcutta ; it is by no means con- 

 fined to the Eastern Himalaya and Burma ; not a single Himalayan 

 specimen has been sent from so high up as 1000 feet though it occurs 

 all along the foot of the hills from the Kamaon Bhabar to the Eastern' 

 Duars.
