Ti e evM nee from comparison with adjacent di.stricts is mere emphatic stilL The only
CMnese d tr e ,;„h in Pedicularis that borders on Yunnan is S.etschuan, This district
e ' t e n d a onT the whole nortliern border of Yunnan, is of almost equal area possesses
Te y similar physical features, and has been about equally well investigated. Ihe
, e'e Yunnan-LLcse species all occur here, two f' k l a n and wMch
the Slian plateau district, which forms the south-west boundary of Yunnan and which
as hardly been explored at all, has already been shown to share four species with
Yunnan, 'still more remarkable arc the facts that the Sikkim-Chumbi area which is
separated by 5iO miles of unexplored Alpine country, shares five species with Yunnan,
and that aLther species, making si. that pass from Yunnan to the Himalaya Proper,
re-appears in Nepal and extends throughout the Western Himalaya as far as Kashmir.
Equally conclusive is the evidence aflorded I,y S.etschuan itself. This district has
so far yielded 2S species, of which 9 are endemic, only 3 (as has been seen) extend to
Yunnan, and only 4 to the rest of the Himalaya, while 11 extend to Tibet and Western
Kansu and 10 extend to Eastern Kansu. These figures indicate with sufficient clearness
that the cleavage line between the Chinese and the Himalayan provinces places Air"
Yunnan with the latter rather than with the former.
