Monoecious or dioecious herb up to 1 or 1.5 m, woody at base, glabrous, stems succulent, swollen above nodes. Leaves elliptic or lanceolate, often slightly asymmetric, 9- 23 x 3.5- 6 em, acuminate, base tapering but rounded at insertion, margins finely serrate, lateral veins numerous, conspicuous, reticulations interruptedly thickened; petioles 2.5-5 cm; stipules lanceolate, c 3 mm. Male panicles often large and spreading, up to 15 cm, in lower axils. Female panicles up to 6 cm long, in upper axils. Achenes ovate, c 0.75 mm, minutely roughened, with rim smooth, thickened.
Bhutan : S-Chukka district (Marich on g) and Gaylegphug district (Betni and Rani Camp), C- Punakha district (near Tinlegang); Sikkim. Warm broad-leaved forests, on moist shady slopes, 1000- 1900 m. July- September.
Some plants from Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh (Nyam Jang Chu) have broader leaves and approach very closely P. trinervia Wight , a S Indian species which may be better regarded as a subspecies of P. scripta.
4. P. symmeria Weddell; P. wightii sensu F.B.I. , p.p. non Weddell. Fig. 11a - c.
Similar to P. scripta, but a smaller plant 15- 30 (- 50) cm, with more ovate leaves 6- 12 x 3- 4.5 em, base less tapering and more rounded, margins with fewer but coarser teeth, often blotched whitish between veins, reticulations less conspicuous and without interrupted thickenings; sometimes sparsely pilose above; petioles often shorter, 0.5- 2 (-4) cm. Panicles often smaller, 2- 10 cm. Achenes almost smooth.
Bhutan: C-Thimphu to Mongar districts, common , N-Upper Mo Chu and Upper Bumthang Chu districts; Sikkim. Moist Hemlock/ Rhododendron and Evergreen oak forests, on shaded banks and by streams, 2200- 3300 m. May- July.
The commonest form, found in Hemlock forests, has ovate, coarsely serrate leaves; plants from Evergreen oak. forests are more robust and have more elliptic, shallowly se rrate leaves. A form with smaller leaves occurs at much lower altitude in Chukka district (Marichong).
5. P. martinii (liveill~ Handel-Mazzetti
Closely allied to P. symmeria but plants larger, up to 1 m, with larger leaves up to 20 x 10 em, always coarsely serrate.
Bhutan: C-Tashigang district (Tashigang and Tashi Yangtsi). Moist forests,2 100-2300 m. July-August.
A single collection from Thimphu district (Barshong) resembles P. martinii and large forms of P. symmeria but differs from both in its conspicuously pubescent leaves.
