128 DR. HOOKER AND DR. THOMSON’S PRJECUESORES 
I. glandulifera, Royle, Ill. 157. t. 28. f. 2, Lindl. Bot. Reg. 1840, t. 22; 
Hook. Bot. Mag. 4020. 
Var. a. Foliis crenato-serratis glanduliferis. 
Var. 8, moschata. Foliis subverticillatis alternisque, grosse serratis minus 
glandulosis.—I. moschata, Edgw. in Linn. Trans. xx. 38. 
Var. у, candida. Foliis supremis oppositis verticillatisque, floribus albis 
roseo maculatis.—I. candida, Lindl.in Bot. Reg.n.s. xiii. Misc. 85.n.204. 
Var. 0, macrochila. Foliis supremis alternis, petalorum lateralium lobis 
posticis elongatis.—I. macrochila, Lindl. Bot. Reg. 18, t. 8. 
Hab. In Himalaya temperata occidentali frequentissima, a Nepal?, Wal- 
lich; ad Marri! alt. 6000-8000 ped., Fleming (fl. Jul.-Sept.). (v.v.) 
Species insignis, gigantea, 4-10-pedalis, ramosa, caulibus basi crassitie 
pollicis, fistulosis?. Folia valde varia, longe v. brevius petiolata, basi 
rotundata v. angustata, grosse serrata; caule ad basin petioli glandulis 
crassis pedicellatis aucto. Pedunculi robusti, stricti, erecti, 2-5”, 
bracteis ovato-lanceolatis acuminatis. Sepala lateralia 2-43”, viridia, 
subpersistentia. Flores lete rubro-purpurei, 2-14 unc. lati; calcare 
brevi incurvo. Capsula 3-$", clavata. Semina edulia, magna, late 
obovoidea, testa opaca subrugosa. 
This fine species approaches very closely indeed to some states of I. 
longicornu, Wall., I. sulcata, Wall. (gigantea, Edgw.), I. Thomsoni, and 
other allied species or varieties of Section H, but may always be known 
by the shortly clavate capsule. This short clavate capsule is indeed 
the only character by which many dried specimens can be distinguished 
from I. longicornu and others of that section. 
The I. moschata of Edgeworth may be a different species, as Mr. Edge- 
worth suggests, but I cannot distinguish it by herbarium specimens. 
It is said to differ from I. Roylei in its musky odour, in its habit, and in 
the leaves being more deeply serrate ; the latter appears to be a very 
variable character, the upper leaves being more deeply cut than the 
lower in both forms. 
28. I. Тномвомі (Н. f.). Herbacea, glaberrima, foliis infimis oppositis 
superioribus alternis verticillatisque ovato-acuminatis petiolatis glan- 
duloso-stipulatis grosse duplicato-serratis, pedunculis aggregatis elon- 
gatis erectis pedicellatis subumbellatis racemosisve, bracteolis subu- 
lato-lanceolatis, floribus 3-1" long. sordide lilacinis maculatis, sepalis 
parvis ovato-lanceolatis, labello conice saccato in calcar breve rectum 
attenuato, capsulis inclinatis 3" long. lineari clavatis. 
Hab. Himalaya temperata subalpina, Sikkim, alt. 19,000 ped. ! J. D. H.; 
Kumaon et Garwhal, 12,000! St. & W. (6, 7,8); Piti! et Kunawur, 
9000-10,000 ped.! T. T. (fl. temp. pluv.). (v.v.) 
Herba robusta, pedalis et ultra, I. sulcate var. B simillima, sed omnibus 
partibus minor, calcare breviore recto conico, sepalis angustioribus 
capsulisque brevioribus. 
This puzzling plant occurs throughout the Himalaya, on the edge 
of the Tibetan climate, and in subalpine districts. It differs from I.
