sicht weiteren Materials, besonders in Kew und Edinburg dürfte voraus- 
sichtlieh noch viel Neues und Interessantes ergeben. Vor allen Dingen 
bedarf es mehr Material, um festzustellen, ob es sich nicht doch um 
selbständige, wenn auch nahe verwandte Arten handelt. 
1. Corydalis longipes var. Phallutiana Fedde var. nov. 
Transitum calcari longiore et bracteis summis integris ad C, Casimirianam 
formans. Bracteae superiores trifidae, apud summas dentes laterales 
‘ paulatim reducti, ultimae summae integrae, oblongo-lanceolatae. Flos in 
toto valde curvatus; petalorum exteriorum cristae- eis formae genuinae 
similes, calcari autem magis gracili, stricte infundibuliformi, ad apicem 
ànguste subcylindrico, plus quam dimiduum totius petali occupante, stami- 
num appendice brevissimo, subobovoideo, ca. t/i modo totius calcaris 
occupanta; petalum inferius ungue bullato-gibboso; in toto carinatum 
et constrictione marginum et laminae et unguis bene, evoluta in ambitu 
fere panduraeforme; germen formae genuinae ideoque siliqua. |

Nota: Ut supra jam dicitur ad C. Cesimirianam vergens, fortasse spe- 
cies propria, ad tempus autem C. longipedi ob formationem ovarii a me 
attributa. Nota in scheda Herb. hort. bot, Calcutti „var. C/tumbiea?* mea 
sententia non consonat. .Commutatur enim iniuria quidem varietas, de 
qua Prain in Jgurn. Asiat. Soc, Bengal LXV, 2 (1897) 28 dicit: „An 
apparent exception to this is a solitary gathering from Chumbi which, 
with flowers exceedingly like those of C. Cesimiriana, has unripe capsules 
like those of C. longipes. But the evidence that we have in this plant an 
intermediate between C, Casimiriana and C. longipes is far from complete. 
Its flowers instead of being intermediate in form between those of the 
other two have a spur with an exaggerated curvature. The stigma too 
differs from that in either C. Casimiriana or C. longipes and resembles that 
of C. tongolensis Franchet from Szechuen, another nearly related but never- 
'fheless quite distinct species.“ Hanc formam vel speciem intermediam 
non vidi, sed persuasum mihi est, complures tales formas transitorias ` 
adesse, quorum sunt C. Cesimiriana var. Meeboldii, C. longipes var. Phallu- 
tiana, var. Burkillii, var. Smithii. Materialiis non sufficientibus nondum 
est decernandum, an non species propriae praesto sint; fortasse eadem 
polymorphia specierum valde affinium est in hac regione himalayica, 
quam in California et partibus adjacentibus Americae pacificae inter 
affines C. aureae.

2. Corydalis longipes var. Burkillii Fedde var. nov. 
Transitum calcari longiore ad C. Casimirianam formans, at bracteae 
etiam summae trifidae. Flos in toto curvatus; petalorum exteriorum: 
cristae altiores- quam- in forma genuina, superioris in medio etiam satis 
alta, inferioris denticulata, calcari- et staminum appendice var. Phallutianae<
