This form the writer had found it difficult to separate from L. glauca tar. 

 sikkimensis by any good characters, the leading difference between the two being 

 the larger stem-leaves of L. spectabilis. Mr. Rolfe, however, writes that it is 

 " doubtful if they are identical, though nearly allied ;" for the present, therefore 

 it seems better to follow Sir J. Hooker in giving the plant specific rank. This 

 appears to be a very local form, all our gatherings coming from the same neighbour- 

 hood ; one striking peculiarity which it exhibits is that the specimens dry a pale 

 straw colour, all the other forms of Lagotis drying black.
