N. E. *Tibet,* Harato, Northern slope of Tsaidam's south-chain, 3321 m.,
5th Oct. 1896.

*Geogr. area:* Alpine Europe, Norway (one locality), Central Asia (not Himalaya), China,
North America.

*Clematis orientalis* L., Sp. pl. ed. 1 (1753) 765; Danguy, in Bull. d'hist. nat.
(1908) 130; Fedtschenko, in Acta Horti Petrop. XXVIII (1909) 459.

var. *acutifolia* Hook. f. et Thoms., Fl. Ind. (1855) 9; Hook. f., Fl. Brit. Ind. I (1875) 5;
Stewart, in Bull. Torrey Bot. Club (1916) 632; Fedtschenko, in Acta Horti Petrop. XXI
(1903) 244; *C. tibetana* O. Kuntze, in Verh. bot. Ver. Brandenburg XXV (1884) 172;
*C. orientalis,* var. *tangutica* Maxim., Fl. tangut. I (1889) 3; Hemsley, in Journ. Linn.
Soc. 35 (1902) 161; Keissler, in Ann. Naturh. Hofmuseum, Wien (1907) 21; *C. tangutica*
Korshinsky, in Bull. Acad. Imp. St. PƩtersbourg IX (1898) 399; Fedtschenko, in Acta
Horti Petrop. XXI (1903) 243; XXIV (1905) 317; XXVIII (1909) 458.

Eastern *Pamir,* Mus-tagh-ata, the eastern shore of Little Kara-kul, 3720 m.,
16th July 1894 (flowering).

East-*Turkestan,* Bash-kurgan, three days' journey S. E. of Lop-nor, 2629 m.,
5th July 1900 (flowering and with young fruits).

Northern *Tibet,* Mandarlik, 3437 m., medio July 1900 (flowering).

The very variable species-aggregate *C. orientalis* is, in High Asia, represented
by a series of forms, the taller of which are climbing and inhabit the regions with
a comparatively rich vegetation, while in the more desolate and high-alpine places
a dwarf, not-climbing form is present; this latter is *C. tibetana* O. Kuntze (l. c.), which
I consider only a high-alpine modification of the more richly developed var. *acuti-
folia* Hook. f. et Thoms.

*Geogr. area:* Asia (Japan and Arctic regions excepted), Africa south of the desert;
var. *acutifolia:* Himalaya, Tibet, Pamir, Mongolia.


Fam. **CaryophyllaceƦ**

(determ. by C. H. Ostenfeld).

*Arenaria festucoides* Benth., in Royle, Illustr. Bot. Himal. (1839) 81, tab. 21,
fig. 3; Hook. f., Fl. Brit. Ind. I (1875) 236; Hemsley, in Journ. Linn. Soc. 35 (1902) 170.

Inner *Tibet,* the shore of Naktsong-tso, Camp LXXVIII, 4636 m., 11th Sept. 1901
(flowering).

The only tuft present (see Pl. VIII, Fig. 1) is very dense and the peduncles are
very short; thus it agrees with var. *imbricata* Edgew. and Hook. f. (in Fl. Brit. Ind. I,
237; non *A. imbricata* M. Bieb.; an *A. kumaonensis* Maxim., Fl. Tangut. I [1889] 86?).

*Geogr. area:* Tibet and alpine Himalaya.
