Fibrse radicales fasciculate e basi longe filiformi apice inflate, napi- 

 formes. Gaulis simplex. Folia basi I aria scepius 2, longe petiolata, ambilu 

 rotundata, ternatisecta, segmentis petiolulatis e basi cuneata obovalis, 

 prol'unde trilobis, lobis bifidis vel trifidis, lobulis linearibus; folia cau- 

 lina 2-4, subsessilia, peclinato-pinnatiiida, lobis linearibus subconti- 

 guis, inlegerrimis vel nunc inferioribus bifidis; bracteao inferiores foliis 

 canlinis persimiles, superiora Integra, angusle lanceolala. Flores 10-20 

 laxe racemosi, racemo simplici, longepeduncnlali, lulescentes; sepala 

 squamiformia, minima, denticulala; petalum posticum apice fornica- 

 tum, vix acutum, dorso late cristatum ; calcar obtusum, ascendens, lim- 

 bum subssquans ; petalum anticum postico multo longius. 



Caulis floriferus 8-15 poll.; pedunculi inferiores usque pollicares; 

 flores 2 cent, longi, incluso calcare. 



Yun-nan in pratis prope juga nivalia Li-kiang, solo calcareo, alt. 

 3500 m.; fl. 11 Jul. 4884 (Delav. n. 168). 



Espece bien caracterisee par ses tiges simples portant 2 a 5 feuilles 

 regulierement pinnatifules, a lobes rapprocbes paralleles; ses grappes 

 simples, ses longs pedoncules, ses fleurs plus grandes la distinguent bien 

 du C. polygalina. Les fleurs ressemblent beaucoup a celles du C. Gorts- 

 chakouii, mais la forme des feuilles basilaires est tres differenle; le 

 C. Gortschakorii est pourvu d'un rhizome epais et ne presente jamais 

 de fibres napiformes.
