SUMMARY:
The diarist compares specimens with No. 1621 from Tsari, noting disagreement with a Professor’s naming as P. griffithii. Specimens 3366, 3367, and 3383 are similar petiolarids; 3383 resembles P. hilaris from the Kashong La, with uniform flower color observed among thousands and occurring up to nearly 16,000 feet (highest seen 15,500). Specimen 3384 may be a white form of P. muscarioides, has green petioles, is very sweet-scented, and grows on steep cliff faces.

Same as No. 1621 and others collected last year in Tsari. 1621 was named P. Griffithii by the Professor I think, though I did not altogether agree with him.

No. 3383. Prim sp. nov. Nos. 3366, 3367 and 3383 are all petiolarids, and are all somewhat similar. The colour of 3383 is very like P. hilaris of the Kashong La. There were no flowers of any variation in colour among the thousands seen today. They extend probably up to nearly 16,000, about 15,500 being the highest seen.

3384. Prim sp. Is this a white form of P. muscarioides? Petioles are not red at all but green. It is very sweet scented. Grows only on very steep cliff faces.
