3. G. lycopersicifolla, DC. Prodr. vi. 300 ; glabrous or hoary-pubes- 

 cent, stem simple erect, leaves irregularly deeply laciniately pimialiM or lyrate, 

 base auricled, lobes or segments very ■various obtuse or acute entire or toothed, 

 invol. bracts glabrous, achenes deeply furrowed hispid. Clarke Camp. Ind. 172.

Stem 6 in. to 2 ft., erect. Leaves 3-5 in. ; terminal lobe ovate-oblong or subcor- 

 date, or narrow and lobed ; lateral spreading, sometimes reduced to auricles on the 

 rachis or petiole, at others 1-2 in. long and spreading, sometimes hoary with white 

 hispid pubescence ; basaJ. auricles large, small or 0. Heads ^-\ in. long, usually rather 

 numerous and panicled, — I have seen no specimen of Clarke's var. ^ Andersoni from 

 Upper Birma, which is beyond British In(£a. 



4. Ct. angrulosa, DC. Prodr. vi. 298 ; robust, quite glabrous, corymbosely 

 branched, leaves large sessile obovate oblanceolate or oblong acuminate iri'egu- 

 larly toothed, base contracted simple or auricled, upper oblong sessile with broad 

 atoicled bases, heads many large, peduncles invol. bracts and achenes qviite 

 glabrous or papillose between the ribs. Clarke Comp. Ind. 170. Or. simplex,

Stem 3-10 ft. and upwards, as thick as the little finger below. Leaves 6-12 in., 

 the basal sometimes 2 ft. long. Heads |-1 in. long. — Don describes the leaves as 

 pubescent beneath, Lessing as glabrous, which they are in all specimens I have seen 

 except in a young and a doubtful specimen from Mishmi (GrifSth), in which they are 

 pubemlous on both sur&ces ; but as Griffith notes his plant to be subscandent, it may 

 be a different species. The Sikkim people have a native name for this plant much re- 

 sembling that which Don gives it of Cttsimbua, and I have no hesitation in referring 

 his plant to angulosa. In the Bombay ilora G. simpler is described as having a tall 

 erect unbranohed stem, but the specimens from the Concan are branched corymbosely 

 above, as in the Nipal state. 



Var. petiolata ; leaves elliptic-lanceolate less toothed distinctly petioled.— Sikkim 

 and Khasia Mts. 



5. G. Fseudo-cllfna, DC. P-odr. vi. 299 ; glabrous or pubescent, stem 

 very short, leaves all subradical obovate narrowed into the petiole annate- or 

 subpinnatifidly lobed, scapes long nearly leafless, heads few, invol. bracts and 

 achenes glabrous or sparsely villous. G. sinuata, DC. Z. c. 301; Clarke Comp.

Boot tuberous; stem very short. Leaves 2-7 in. long, very variable in form. 

 Heads j-f in. long. — This I think must be the " Pseudo-china " of Dillenius, of which 

 that author gives an excellent figure from a plant cultivated in his garden at Eltham, 

 and which he states was a native of the Madias Presidency. It may well be doubted 

 if tbis is anything more than a state of a common Eastern plant represented by G 

 angulosa in the Himalaya, and nitida in the Deccan. Kurz remarks of it that when 

 young it looks scapigerous and has smaUer and simpler leaves, but that as the tuberous 

 roots enlarge it grows more robust and largo, and branches from the base, with leaves
