308 cm. SCROPHULA.RINE.E. (J. D. Hooker.) [Pedicidaris. 



ALPINE HIMALAYA ; from Kashmir to Sikkim, alt. 13-16,000 ft. 



Sootsfock stout. Stem 4-8 in., stout or slender, rarely srlabrate. Leaves rarely 

 1 in. ; cauline sessile. Spikes 1-lfc in. broad, top rounded ; flowers and fruit much as 

 in P. porrecta, of which this resembles a hairy form, but the beak is much longer. 



7. P. flexuosa, Hook. f. \ slender, sparsely hairy or glabrate, stems 

 flaccid elongate decumbent diffusely branched, cauline leaves opposite pe- 

 tioled ovate or oblong 2-pinnatifid lobes sharply toothed, flowers axillary 

 and in lax or dense leafy spikes or heads, corolla-tube \-\\ in., limb larare, 

 upper lip erect then inflated with a stout horizontal beak shorter than the 

 lower lip. Pedicularis n. 5, Herb. Ind. Or. H.f.fyT. 



SIKKIM HIMALAYA ; alt. 10-13,000 ft., J. D. H., Clarke. 



Stems 1-2 ft., curved (dwarf forms 6-8 in. also occur), flexuous. Leaves 2-4 in., 

 ovate oblong or oblong-lanceolate, flaccid, irregularly toothed. Spikes or racemes 

 usually capitate in flower and fruit, or elongating in fruit ; bracts pinnatifid, longer 

 than the calvx. Calyx \ in., lobes crenulate. Corolla rosy, tube many times lonerer 

 than the calyx; limb f in. diam. Cavsule ^-J in. long, ovate-oblong or lanceolate, 

 straight, acute. Seeds 1^ in. long, ellipsoid, obtuse, smooth or obscurely reticulate, 

 dark. 



8. P. integ-rifolia, HooJc. f. ; softly glandular-pubescent, stems short 

 stout simple, cauline leaves few opposite sessile oblong obtuse crenulate, 

 flower axillary and in short heads, corolla-tube ^ in., upper HD large erect 

 then greatly inflated and narrowed into a very long slender flexuous beak.

SIKKIM HIMALAYA ; Tungu, alt. 12-14,000 ft., J. D. H. 



Hoof stock very stout. Stems 4-6 in., ascending. Radical leaves crowded, 1^-2 in., 

 narrowly linear-lanceolate, subacute, margins recurved obscurelv crenate, glandular- 

 pubescent on both surfaces ; cauline erect, J-l in. Spikes capitate, oblong ; bracts 

 leaf-like, but broad, as long as the calyx. Calyx \ in., lobes crenate. Corolla dark 

 purple, tube twice as long as the calyx ; beak longer than the tube, flexuous. Capsule 

 not seen. 



** Upper lip of the corolla rounded at the end, not or very shortly 

 beaked. 



9. P. globifera, Hook. f. ; dwarf, stem stout ascending 4-fariously 

 hairy, leaves whorled short linear- oblonsr pinnatifid segments crowded cre- 

 nulate, spikes capitate erect or nodding hirsute many- and dense-fld., corolla- 

 tube short, upper lip short erect, tip rounded sharply deflexed acute or shortly 

 beaked. Pedicularis n. 10, Herb. Ind. Or. H.f. Sf T. 



SIKKIM HIMALAYA; Kongra Lama, alt. 14-15,000 ft., J. D. H. 



Sootstock stout. Stems 2-4 in. Radical leaves 1 in., very shortly petioled, lower 

 cauline sessile, in. Spikes globose or oblong, top rounded ; bracts as long as the 

 calyx, rounded, crenulate ; flowers ^-f in. long. Calyx in. long, hirsute, lobes obtuse, 

 very short. Corolla dark purple ; tube broad, half as long again as the calyx ; upper 

 lip with a sharply inflexed but hardly beaked tip. The specimens are from one locality 

 only, and not in fruit ; they resemble P. brevifolia, Don, a good deal, but the flowers 

 are more numerous and denser, and the upper corolla lip is hardly beaked. P. Korol- 

 kowi, Regel, is another closely allied plant, differing in the glabrous calyx with longer 

 teeth. 



10. P. cheilanthifolia, SchrenJc in Fisch. fr Mey. Enum. PL Nov. 

 Fuse. ii. 19; stems erect or ascending simple or branched 4-fariously hairy, 

 cauline leaves whorled petioled linear pinnatifid segments crenate, spike 

 dense- or lax-fld. villous, corolla-tube twice as long as the calyx, upper lip 

 much longer than the lower arched dilated at the apex or not, tip deflexed
