148 THE BOTANICAL MAGAZINE. LVoi. xxxiii. No. 391. 



ebractale, few-flowered (inflorescence not well developed in the present 

 specimen ?) Flowers 5 mm. across, with short pedicels. Calyx 5-part- 

 ed, segments ovate oblong, acute or subobtuse, hispid-pubescent. 

 Corolla 5-lobed, lobes obtuse, tube short with 5 obtuse scales in the 

 throat. Stamens 5, included below the scales, anthers small, obtuse, 

 filaments short. Ovary 4-lobed, style longish, stigma capitate. Nutlets 

 (immature) 4, outer faces flattened, rough, the margin glochidiatc. 



The present specimen seems to be identical with the plant collected 

 in the same region, and pointed out by Ilemsley to be an undescribed 

 species of Cynoglossum. 



57. Omphalodes sp. ? (On the summit). 



Erect, about 3 dm. high, setose-hispid ; leaves alternate, the lower 

 ones long potiolate, oblong-ovate, 3-4 cm. long. 1.5-2 cm. broad ; 

 racemes axillarj' (not full}' developed). The specimen lacks mature 

 fruits, inderrainable. 



58. TrigORotis omeiensis n. sp. (On the Slope). 



Herb perennial ? Strigose, branching, plant rather large for the 

 genus (the present specimen measures 3 dm. in length). Leaves 

 (cauline) submembranaceous, ovate-oblong, attenuated towards the 

 apex, mucronatc, rounded and slighth' oblique at the base, strigose on 

 both surfaces, entire or obscurely undulate and densel}- ciliate on the 

 margin ; 5-10 cm. long (excl. petiole 2-3 cm. long), 3-4 cm. broad ; 

 nervation obscure, primary nerves 6 or 7 on each side, which are 

 arcuate, and joining together before reaching the margin, form the mar- 

 ginal uerves. Inflorescence terminal, forked or branched, racemes 6—10 

 cm. long, loosely flowered, bracts absent. Flowers blue ? 3 on 4 mm. 

 across, pedicellate with rather strict pedicels which are 2—3 mm. long 

 (fruiting ones elongated). Calyx strigose, especially towards the base, 

 5-parted ; segments oblong, rounded at the tip, with distinct midvein 

 which is dilated at the upper end. Corolla glabrous, 5-lobcs orbicular, 

 throat with 5 small scales, tube very short. Stamens 5, inserted on 

 the tube near the throat. Ovary decpl}' 4-lobed, style filiform not 

 elongate, stigma capitate. Nutlets tetrahedral, hardly longer than 

 broad, smooth, scar basal.
