Since the preceding account was sent borne to the Linn can Society, from whose 
Transactions 1 have almost literally copied it, I have found a second species growing on 
the summit of Sheopore, blossoming during the height of the rainy season, which has also 
been brought to me from the far more debated regions towards Gosain-Than, from Ku- 
maon and Silinagur. This shrub is exactly like the preceding iu height and stature. 
All its upper parts arc very densely chid in stellate, soft, separable tonientum ; becoming 
somewhat smoother by age. The leaves are m ate, attenuato-acute, obtusely and un¬ 
equally dentate, entire and roundish at the base, lour or five inches long, pubescent above, 
covered underneath with white toiiioutum. P dials hoary.— Flowers resembling those 
of the former, disposed in small spikes, i liis plant may be called Cohjuhounia vest it a.
