We have but few specimens of this very distinct-looking species. It has many 

 characters in common with C. rutcefolia, but differs much in size and habit, the nar- 

 row apices of the outer petals, winged posticous petal; and in the short pedicels of 

 the flowers. The petioled leaves, shape of petals, the flowers not being umbellate, 

 and their colour, distinguish it at once from C. Kashmiriana.

 cili 1-2-bracteato v. nudo, racemo multifloro, bractcis linearibus, pedi-

Species distinctissima. — Radix ignota. Caulis v. scapus pedalis et ultra, gracilis, 

 erectus, subflexuosus, omnino nudus v. bracteis paucis ornatus. Racemus 1-|— 3-polli- 

 caris, multiflorus, subcylindraceus. Bracteolce pedicellis gracilibus -|— | poll, longis bis 

 terve breviores. F/ores breves, latiusculi, |~| poll, longi, flavi, macula purpurea ad 

 apices petalorum super iorum utrinque notati. Sepala squaniaeformia. 



A leafless slender species, which cannot be confounded with any other. The ra- 

 ceme is generally many-flowered, but in weak specimens only a few flowers are pro- 

 duced. 



b. Radix fusiformis. Calcar jlore cequilongum v. longius. 

 • Caulibus scapkve simplicibus rarius divisis parcefoliatis. 



9. C. crithmifolia (Royle, 111. 68) ; foliis omnibus radicalibus bi- 

 tripinnatisectis, segmentis linearibus acutis integris v. varie sectis, ra- 

 cemo multifloro, bracteis elongatis linearibus pedicellos superantibus, 

 calcare florem superante. — C. epithyinifolia (errore typographico), Wal- 

 pers y Rep. i. 120. 



Hab. In Himalaya occidentali temperata, Garhwal, Munro ! Kuna- 

 war, Jacquemont ! Royle ! — (FL Apr. Mai.) (v. s.) 



Radix fusiformis, crassa. Caulis scapusve 3 -poll, ad pedalem, crassiusculus, om- 

 nino aphyllus et ebracteatus. Folia radicalia scapo sequilonga, petiolus basi vagi- 

 nans, lamina 1-4 unc. longa, circumscriptione late ovato-rotundata, subirregulariter 

 bitripinnatisecta, segmentis paucis crassiusculis, maguitudine variis, exemplaribus in 

 Garhwal lectis caeteris multoties latioribus ; piunis primariis longe petiolulatis. Ra- 

 cemus subdensiflorus. Bractece interdum 1^-pollicares, racemum totum superantes, 

 rarius pedicellis breviores. F lores pollicares, sulphurei. Petala apice purpurea ; 

 exteriora apice cucullata, acuta, dorso incrassata v. alata. 



Apparently a rare species, easily recognized by its long-petioled radical leaves, 

 leafless scape, and very long, linear, entire, green bracts. Munro's specimens have 

 wings on the back of the upper and lower petals, which are not apparent in the Ku- 

 nawar ones, and which, with the much greater breadth of the leaflets, probably are 

 the effect of the damper climate of Garhwal.
