I have been able to see a specimen of Herb. Falconer distributed from Kew in 
1869. The flowers of this specimen agree fully with those of Wilson's. Wight's 
figure shows a flower with glabrous corolla-lobes which are always hairy within in 
the specimens before me, with the exception of those of a specimen in Herb. Gray. 
from Sikkim “ Regio temp. alt. 6000 ped.,” J. D. Hooker. Forrest has collected 
a species with glabrous corolla-segments near Yunnan-fu, and it was described 
by Schlechter (in Not. Bot. Gard. Edinburgh, VIIL. 15 [Pl. Chin. Forrest.] [1913], 
as P. Forrestii, which I know only from the description.
