Plant pubescent throughout, or with the upper surfaces or the whole leaf-blades glabrous, 

 the inflorescence villose. Stem 1-1.5 dm. tall, exceeded by the leaves, which are mostly basal 

 and may reach 15-20 cm. long and 4-6 cm. wide, with 6-12 pairs of pinnules (all but the most 

 distal distinct to midrib), each elliptic-oblong to ovate and deeply doubly cut into sharp-toothed 

 segments, the petioles much shorter than the blades; bracts of inflorescence in early anthesis 

 shorter tuan, but later equalnig or exceeding the flowers, oblong-lanceolate, sharply serrate distad 

 to the entire base; pedicels very short; calyx 10-11 mm. long, with 5 lanceolate callose-tipped 

 lobes, of which the uppermost is lower-set and shorter, the others about equally distinct ; corolla 

 17-18 mm. long, glabrous, purple, the upper lip 10-11 mm. long, very strongly flattened, distally 

 slightly decurved and rounded at apex, the lower lip 6 mm. long, pale or white, divaricately 

 spreading ; anthers obtuse or obtusish.

 3^ mm. long, the lower lip little shorter, its widely rounded ciliolate lobes deflexed-spreadmg ;

 lower part of stem and may reach 15 cm. long and 2-3 cm. wide, with about 12 pairs of pinnules 

 (all cut to the narrowly margined midrib), each linear and somewhat saliently serrate-dentate, 

 the basal on petioles usually shorter than the blades, the cauline short-petioled or sessile, the 

 upper ones smaller and transformed to linear or linear-lobed bracts below the inflorescence; 

 bracts of inflorescence shorter than or about equaling the flowers, linear-lanceolate, with a few 

 ascending-spreading similar lobes. Pedicels 3-5 mm. long; calyx 6-8 mm. long, with 5 ovate 

 subulate-caudate entire lobes, of which the uppermost is lower-set and shortest; corolla 15 mm. 

 long, glabrous, white or faintly yellow, with fine dark purple spots on hood of galea and jjmilar 

 median lines on basal part of lowermost lobe, its upper lip decurved to 180 or more and distally
