This is very unlike any other Asiatic species of Buddleia in its size and form of flower, colour, and the 
locality it inhabits, its congeners being almost without exception tropical or subtropical plants; in several 
respects it more closely resembles some of the species of the Andes, but it has no rival anywhere for beauty 
and graceful habit. It is abundant towards the summit of Tonglo, from 9000 feet to the top (10,000), and 
is also frequent in the Lachen and Lachoong valleys at similar elevations; even ascending to 12,000 feet. 
This will probably prove perfectly hardy, as I have found it in very exposed. places as well as in woods ; 
and from the abundance of its flowers and its lasting some weeks in bloom, it would be a most desirable addi- 
tion to our gardens. The Plate was made from a sketch of my own.
