320. Strobilanthes capitatus T, And, 
Myitkyina (C) DiSTRlB. Himalaya ; Assam Ranges ; Karen Hills. 
321. Strobilanthes coloratus T, And, 
Myitkyina (C) DiSTRlB. Eastern Himalaya : Assam Ranges ; not 
before collected in Burma. 
322. Strobilanthes pentstemonoides T, And, 
Myitkyina (C). Distrib. Himalaya ; Assam Ranges ; Burma. Our 
specimens agree well with examples named S, pentstemonoides by 
Kurz, from Pegu and from the Taping Valley, But less exactly with 
those from the Himalaya so named by Dr. T. Anderson himself. 
[Strobilanthes ftaccidifolius Nees. — Though this plant was never 
actually seen by Lieutenant Pottinger’s party, it is fairly certain that 
it occurs throughout the Kachin Hills and is the source of the blue dye 
used by the people. Dr. Griffith met with it in the neighbouring 
Hukung Valley, and it is quite common in the mountains of Assam 
to the west, and in the Shan country to the south-east.] 
The identifications of the two first species of Strobilanthes must 
be accepted as tentative only. In neither instance do the specimens 
agree absolutely with sheets of those species as named by Dr. Thos^ 
Anderson himself, or with any other sheets named or unnamed in the 
Calcutta Herbarium, though in both cases we believe that the name 
suggested represents the species to which our plants bear respec- 
tively the closest affinity.
