sepals (calycine leaflets) ; petals emarginate, longer than 
the last; disk long, large, and thickened; styles villous, 
slightly protruded.” 
“For an opportunity of examining spontaneous speci- 
mens of this new species I am indebted to Mr. Lambert: 
they were collected in Nepal by Dr. Buchanan (Hamilton), 
and, from the ticket attached to them, probably in marshy 
situations. Of this however no mention is made by Dr. 
Roxburgh, by whom, in his manuscript Flora Indica, a 
detailed account of the species is given with the name here 
adopted. It has recently been imported from the East 
Indies by Mr. Whitley, of Fulham, in whose collection I 
have seen it growing vigorously, and it proves a highly de- 
sirable addition to our gardens. It cannot possibly be con- 
founded except with R. bracteata and microphylla, from 
_ both which its dull narrow leaves, hoary beneath, and long 
Slender shoots, distinguish it sufficiently ; besides, the 
bracteze are a little distance from the flowers. Native of $e 
Nepal, Bengal, and China.” Lindley, I. c. 8-9.
