This is new to N.-W. India : the station was discovered first by Mr. Duthie,

Dufrhie’s specimens from Kashmir, No. 13148 especially, and Nos° 13226 
and 14127, are very woolly ; but they do not warrant the rehabilitation of 
Hooker’s IF. lanosa^ because the specimens on which Hooker founded that 
species are all undoubtedly Gymnogramme Andersoni , Bedd. Duthie’s specimens

18»91, refers IF. lanosa. Duthie ’s British Garhwal, and one of his Nepal 
specimens are more glabrous than the normal. I have also a glabrous plant, 
got by Duthie in Knmaun, with fronds larger than usual ^ aDd elongated 
pinnatifid pine a?, which may be a new species,
