Yunnan. Plant of 6 inches to 3 feet. Rootstock woody. 

 Flowers deep yellow with an orange eye ; flowers and 

 foliage fragrant. Pendulous from dry. shady crevices 

 of limestone clitfs on the eastern flank of the Lichiang 

 Range. Lat, 27 12 X. Alt. 9000-11.000 feet. May 1906. 

 X.W. Yunnan, China. G. Forrest. Xo. 2117. Eastern 

 flank of the Lichiang Range. Lat. 27 : 15 X. Alt 8000- 

 10,500 feet. May 1910. G. Forrest, Xo. 5563. 



The nearest ally of the plant is P. rufa, Balf. til., and 

 perhaps when a larger number of specimens of that species 

 are available forexamination the identity may be established. 

 The most salient point of divergence between them is to be 

 found in the golden farinose calyx and corolla of P. rufa, 

 Balf. til. There is no sign of the farina in P. Forrest ii, 

 Balf. til. Again, the calyx of P. rufa, Balf. til., is altogether 

 smaller than that of P. Forrestii Balf. til., and the lobes 

 are blunt and rounded in P. rufa, Balf. til., not acute as in 

 P. Forre&ii, Balf. til. The leaf of P. Fvrrestii, Balf. til..
