SCEOPHULARIACE^. 



HAB. Mt. Morrison, leg. U. MORI. 



This alpine plant is the only representative of the genus Pedicularis in 

 Formosa. It is very remarkable to notice that the plant bears a close resem- 

 blance to Pedicularis verticillata LIXIST. which spreads widely from North Ame- 

 rica, Western Europe to Kamtschatka and Japan where it is very limited to 

 the highest mountains. Our plant differs very slightly from P. verticillata 

 LINN, in having a little narrower longer corolla-tubes, and in the leaves which 

 in this new species are arranged remotely along the whole length of the stem, 

 but not clustered under the flower-heads, as is the case with P. verticillata.
