The Himalaya Mountains are as remarkable in a botanical point of view for the beauty of the colouring of the flowers of their Polygonums, as Japan is for the stature and noble foliage of some of the species of the same genus which it contains. Amongst the Himalayan kinds none exceeds /'. amplexicaule, which is unrivalled for graceful habit, foliage, and colouring combined, and it is further a plant of such easy cultivation, that it ought to be a garden favourite. It occurs under two varieties, a white- and a red-flowered, of which the white has usually a longer and more slender raceme, with more distant flowers. These two varieties do not correspond to any two of the five species which have been founded on dried specimens of the plant, and JUNE 1ST, 1880.
which I agree with Dr. Lindley in considering to be un- worthy of varietal rank. P. amplexiraule extends through the whole range of the Himalaya, from Murree in the extreme north-west, where it ranges from 6000 to 8000 feet of elevation, to Sikkim, where it reaches 11,000 feet and upwards; it does not occur in the Bhotan collections of Griffith, nor has it been found in the Kharia range. It was introduced into the Horticultural Society's gardens from those of Tahurunpore, by Dr. Falconer, in 1835 or 1836; but our figures are made from plants raised at Kew from seeds sent by Dr. Aitchieson, and it flowers in September and October. DE s CE. Stems two to three feet high from a strong woody underground root-stock, very slender, green, sparingly leafy. Leaves cordate-ovate or- lanceolate, long- acuminate, the lower long-petioled, the upper sessile and amplexicaul, all minutely crenulate, glabrous above, be- neath minutely papular, especially on the midrib and nerves ; ochrese long, lacerate. Racemes solitary or two, on slender strict peduncles, strict erect, two to six inches long ; bracteoles ovate, acuminate, scarious. Flowers crowded, bright rose-red or white, about one-third of an inch in diameter when expanded. Perianth segments oblong, sub- acute. Stamens eight ; anthers exserted. Styles three, slender. Ovary three-gonous.•/. D. H.
