TEMPERATE HIMALAYA; Kumaon, alt. 10,000 ft., Strachey & Winterbottom, 
Anderson; Nepal, Wallich ; Sikkim, alt. 10-13,000 ft., J. D. H. 
Stem 5-6 ft., as thick as the little finger. Zeaves 4-8 by 3-6 in., variable in 
breadth, base rarely cuneate, pubescent above and beneath; petiole stout. Whorls 
1-1} in. diam. Corolla-tube included, galea villous. Nutlets narrowly obcuneate, 
nearly 4 in. long. 
9. P. breviflora, Benth, in Wall. Pl. As. Rar. i. 62, Lab. 631, and in 
DC. Prodr. xii. 543 ; tall, erect, glabrous or slightly pubescent, leaves long- 
petioled broadly ovate deeply cordate acuminate crenate, whorls few-tld., 
bracts slender glabrous, calyx 3-4 in. short nearly glabrous, teeth very short. 
P. parviflora, Benth. in Wall. Cat. 2066. 
EASTERN HIMALAYA; Nepal, Wallich; Sikkim, alt. 10-12,000 ft., J. D. H., &c. 
Perhaps only a variety of P. macrophylla, but tbe leaves are much more deeply 
cordate with rounded lobes, and the calyx is very small with minute teeth. 
6. P. setigera, Falcon. mss.; Benth. in DC. Prodr. xii. 543; tall, 
erect, nearly glabrous or sparsely pubescent, leaves short-petioled ovate 
acuminate crenate, base rounded or cordate, whorls many-fld., bracts short 
rigid setaceous ciliate,tips spinescent, calyx 3-4 in. hairy, teeth erect subulate 
ciliate 1 the length of the tube. 
TEMPERATE HIMALAYA; Kashmir, Clarke; Kumaon, Falconer; Sikkim, alt. 
10-12,000 ft., J. D. H., &c. . 
Habit of P, macrophylla, differing in the short 1-1 in. petioles, tbe much shorter 
bracts, and the nutlets, which are 2 in. long, obovoid, with a truncate top. 
P VAR. occidentalis, Clarke mss. ; bracts much longer and less rigid, calyx-teeth 
longer half the length of the tube.—Kashmir, Palgam, alt. 7000 ft., Clarke. . 
? Var. filiformis; bracts soft filiform flexuous hirsute (not rigid nor spinous- 
tipped), nutlets 35 in. long oblong.—Sikkim, Jongri and Tungu, alt. 1200-13,000 ft., 
J. D. H.—Of this subalpine plant the specimens are very poor; the bracts are very 
different from those of P. setigera, which, however, Clarke gathered at Jongri. lc 
may be a form of P. bracteosa.
