The distinctive character of the species K jatamansi, isdetailed by the same authority, as follows:— Eoot stock, woody,long, stout, covered with fibres from the petioles of witheredleaves. Stem, 4 to 24 inches, more or less pubescent Naedostachys grandifloea, Reduced from Plate ii. in De Candolles Memoir liere quoted. 268 ODOROGRAPHIA. often glabrate below. Eadical leaves, 6 to 8 inches by one inch,longitudinally nerved, glabrous or slightly pubescent, narrowedinto the petiole; cauline, 1 or 2 pairs, 1 to 3 inches long, sessile,oblong or sub-ovate. Flower heads usually 1, 3 or 5 ; bractes,J inch, oblong, usually pubescent; corolla tube, ^ inch long,somewhat hairy within, as are the filaments below. Fruit, -g- inchlong, covered with ascending white hairs, crowned by the ovate,acute, often dentate calyx-teeth. There are two forms of thisplant; a large-flowered (see illustration on preceding page), withusually glabrous bractes, and a smaller one, with the corolla tubescarcely \ inch long, and the bractes densely, shortly hairy;various intermediate forms occur. The plant is found in the Alpine Himalaya, at altitudes of11,000 to 15,000 feet; from Kumaon to Sikkim, ascending to17,000 feet in Sikkim. N. jatamansi is
