256 CIII. SCROPHULARINEZ. (J. D. Hooker.) [Scrophularia. 
10. S. lucida, Linn.; Benth. in DC. Prodr. x. 312; glabrous or 
glandular pubescent above, leaves 1-2-pinnatisect, segments spreading very 
unequal oblong ovate or lanceolate incised and serrate, cymes ascending shortly 
duncled in long contracted panicles, pedicels short, sepals rounded margin 
Droadly scarious, staminode orbicular or reniform. Boiss. Fl. Orient. iv. 
403. S. decomposita, Royle in Benth. Scroph. Ind. 18, and in DC. Lc. 318. S. 
Griffithii, Benth. in. DC. Lc. 312; excl. var. B; Boiss. Fl. Orient. iv. 410 excl. 
syn. Kotschyi. 
Western HiMALAYA; from Kashmir to Kumaon, alt. 8-13,000 ft.—DIsTRIB. 
Kashgar, Affghanistan, and westwards to Italy. . 
Rootstock stout, perennial, stems 2-3 ft., obscurely 4-angled. Leaves 1-2 1n., 
segments horizontal, interrupted. Cymes few-fld., lower leafy; peduncles 3-4 in. 
pedicels very short; bracts linear. Sepals half as long as the corolla, nearly as long 
as the globose pointed capsule. Corolla-tube 1—1 in. broad.—I suspect that this is only 
a form of S. canina, Linn. 
ll. S. variegata, Bieb. Fl. Tawr. Cauc. ii. 78; glabrous. below, 
glandular above, puberulous, leaves shortly petioled obovate-oblong or spathu- 
late obtuse crenate above incised or pinnatifid toward the base with recurved 
obtuse lobes, cymes erect or ascending few-fld. alternate in long narrow panicles, 
pedicels very short, sepals rounded margin broadly scarious, staminode large 
orbicular or reniform. Reichb. Ic. Pl. Europ. iii. 53, t. 257 ; Benth. in DC.

410. S. Griffithii, var. B, Benth. l. c. 312. 
Western HiMaLAvA, in the drier regions, and Western TiBET; from Kashmir 
and the Karakorum to Kumaon, alt. 9-14,000 ft., Thomson, &c.—DisTRIP. Asia 
. Minor. 
Rootstock perennial; stems 1-2 ft., stout, obtusely 4-angled. Leaves 1-2} in., 
coriaceous, contracted into a short broad petiole. Sepals about half the length of 
the corolla and of the small globose pointed capsule. Corolla l- in. long, tube | 
broad.—Probably only a form of S. lucida, with more entire leaves. It precisely 
accords with Reichenbach’s figure in all but the greater size. 
Var. ? tenuicaulis ; branches and panicles very slender, staminode ovate-lanceolate 
acute.—Kishtwar, alt. 8000 ft., Thomson. Kashmir at Srinuggur, alt. 7000 ft., 
Clarke. This is a puzzling plant, probably referable to S. canina, L. The habit and 
foliage are those of S. variegata. 
12. S. dentata, Royle in Benth. Scroph. Ind. 19, and in DC. Prodr. X. 
316; glabrous below, glandular above, nearly black when dry, leaves small | 
petioled obovate-oblong or -spathulate obtuse crenate above, entire or incised | 
towards the base, cymes short erect or ascending few-fld. alternate in narrow 
panicles, pedicels very short, sepals rounded margins obscurely scarious, stami- | 
node small narrow. S. Kotschyi, Herb. Ind. Or. H. f. & T., not of Boiss. 
Western HriwArAYA, Kumaon, Royle, Lahul, Capt. Hay. WxsrERN TIBET, alt. 
12-15,000 ft., Thomson. 
Very similar to S. variegata, but nearly black when dry, with smaller thicker 
leaves, and a very small staminode. Rootstock stout, branches very numerous, 1 foot, 
cylindric. Leaves 1-1} in., midrib and nerves very obscure, rather fleshy. Flowers 
smaller than in S. variegata or lucida. Capsule and seeds similar. f 
13. S. scabiosæfolia, Benth. in DC. Prodr. x. 313; glabrous or i 
glandular, leaves obovate oblong or subspathulate entire pinnatifid or lobulate, 
terminal lobe usually large, cymes spreading or ascending alternate rather long 
few- or many-fld. branches divaricating, flowers very small often spicate, sepals 
rounded margins scarious, staminode broad. Boiss. Fl. Orient. iv. 412.
