On the west side of the Changn Lake, on the slopes above the road, this plant is fairly 
plentiful but easily over-looked, as flowers and fruits are very close to the ground. In fact 
the frnits tend to bury themaeives. By the middle of July all the plants are in fruit with 
rare exceptions. The stems average from 30 to 86 cm., but in the moist bwin of the Gnatong 
Chu 1 found specimens 60 cm. high with fruit 5 cm. in diameter, and calyx enlarged to nearly 
4 cm. long. The stem, leaves, pedicles and calyx are pubescent. Leaves obovate, some- 
times narrowly, usually 12 cm. by 6 cm. The measurements given in the ** Flora of British 
India ** 11 by 2 in., are surely exceptional or an error. Calyx lobes pubescent and ciliate, 
green, purplish below, reticulate. Corolla greenish purple, lurid brown inside, with a faint 
sweet odour, divided and lobed much as the calyx, up to 2 cm. long, rapidly withering when 
calyx begins to enlarge. Style short thick, just under 1 mm. in length, with bifid dilated 
stigma. The roots stout, attaining 60—90 cm. in length.
