I advance this species with great hesitation ; it is intermediate between BoyUana 

 and ci/imamomea, but is much larger than the former in all its parts and more robust, 

 «,nd it differs from the latter species in its smaller foliage and larger heads with more 

 spreading bracts. This is certainly not A. EoyUana, DC, of which I have seen 

 ■authentic specimens since the distribution of the Indian Herbarium. 



5. A. tripllnervis, Clarke Comp. Ind. 105; stems rather stout often 

 flexuous leafy and leaves beneath densely clothed with white wool, leaves 3-8 

 in. ohovate or elliptic-oblong acute amplexicaul 3-6-nerved cobwebby above, 

 heads ^-} in. diam. in open or close corymbs, invol. bracts ^ in. long ovate- 

 lanceolate acute or subacute white. Antennaria tripUnervis, Sims Bot. Mag. t.

TBMPBaiTB HnnAiAYA; alt. 6-10,000 ft., from Kaslimir to Bhotan. 



A very much larger more robust plant than A. nuUgena, var. intermedia, with the 

 leaves sometimes 3 in. diam. and strongly amplexicaul or even auiieled at the base ; 

 l)ut small specimens come very close to large ones of that plant. 



6. A. subumbellata, Clarice Comp. Ind. 108; pubescent and glandular, 

 greenish brown when dry, stem 13-16 in. erect rather slender leafy, leaves 1-2 

 in. linear-oblong acute or apiculate ^amplexicaul obscurely 3-nerved green 

 above and beneath lowest spathulate, margins flat, heads many J-| in. diam. 

 in rounded or subumbeUate corymbs, invol. bracts nearly ^ in. lanceolate acute 

 -white. 



SiKKiM HrMAtATA; IiachooEg valley, alt. 10-12,000 ft., J. S. H. 

 A very distinct species, rather viscid, with sweet-smelling foliage when fresh, as 

 in A. Hookeri, which it a good deal resembles except in the larger heads. 



7. A. xylorbiza, Sckvdtz-Bip. mss. ; clothed with soft spreading brown 

 'wool, root very stout woody twisted, crown divided into many densely tufted 

 very short stout branches clothed with membranous leaf bases and tufted linear- 

 apathulate leaves ^-f in. long, flowering stems 1-3 in. scape-like with linear- 

 oblong sessile leaves, heads many ^ in. diam. clustered, invol. bracts about 15 

 I in. long ovate subacute with a broad brown claw j- the length of the blade. 



SrEKnt HnoALATA; Tibetan region, alt. 10-17,000 feet., J. D. M. Bagdwar in 

 Kumaon, alt. 8000 ft., Straoh. ^ Winterb. 



A very distinct species, gathered late, and I am hence uncertain whether the 

 invol. bracts always spread in a flowering state, their form is more that of the next 

 ^section. The plant in Herb. Strach. & Wint. has rather larger heads and more 

 lanceolate invol. bracts, but is, I think, the same species. 



Seeies II. Heads §-J in. diam. ; invol. bracts erect incurved or somewhat 

 Tecurved, steUately spreading only after flowering. 



* LeavesJU:, margins rarely recurved, ^ -7 -nerved. — Usually tall, stout, leafy 

 ■species. (See A. triplinervis in Series L, A. oblonga and zeylanica in **). 



8. A. cinnamomea, Clarke Comp. Ind. 104; stems 1-2 ft. usually 

 simple rather robust leaiy and leaves beneath densely clothed with white gi-ey 

 or cinnamomeous wool, leaves 2-4 in. spreading or horizontal tapering from 

 the middle to a ^-amplexicaul simple or auricled base and to the acute point 

 glabrous or woolly above 3-5-nerved, heads very many subglobose ^-g in. diam., 

 invol. bracts J in. elliptic-ovate obtuse erect or incurved white opaque. Anten-
