31. P. furfuracea. Wall. Cat. 412; nearly glabrous throughout, 

 stems flaccid branched sparingly leafy, leaves alternate long-petioled 

 broadly ovate oblong or rounded lobulate or subpinnatitid lobes irregularly 

 toothed, flowers axillary and in lax leafy racemes, calyx-lobes very small, 

 corolla pale pink tube short, upper lip arched beaked. Benth. Scroph. Ind. 

 54, and in DC. Prodr. x. 580. 



CENTRAL and EASTERN HIMALAYA ; Nepal, Wallich ; Sikkira, margins of woods, 

 alt. 8-12,000 ft., J. D. H., &c. 



Pereiinial ? Stems 1-2 ft., as thick as a crow-quill, flexuous succulent, with one 

 or two lines of pubescence above. Leaves 1-3 by 1-2^ in., membranous, sometimes 

 pinnatisect at the base, glabrous on both surfaces, nearly white with finely reticulated 

 venules beneath ; petiole very slender, 1-3 in. Flowers scarcely racemose, | in. long; 

 bracts leaf-like; pedicels ^-^ in., very slender. Calyx in. long, tubular, split on 

 one side. Corolla very pale pink, lower lip about ^ in. oroad. Capsule | in. long, 

 ovate-lanceolate, nearly straight, acuminate, twice as long as the calyx. Seeds T ' fl in. 

 long, ellipsoid, acute, most minutely reticulate, black. 



VAR. integrifolia ; leaves broadly ovate or rounded irregularly toothed or lobulate, 

 calyx villous, corolla red-purple. Pedicularis u. 30, Herb. Ind. Or. H.f. <$ T. SSikkim, 

 alt. U-10,000 ft., J. D. H. 



? 32. P. curvipes, Hook. f. ; quite glabrous, stem very slender long 

 flexuous branched branches long curved, leaves scattered small petioled 

 oblong pinnatind lobes few incised, flowers axillary, long pediceiled, pedicels 

 recurved in fruit, capsules pendulous. 



SIKZIM HIMALAYA ; Tumbok, alt. 10,000 ft., Clarke. 



Stems a foot long, as thick as a sparrow's quill, curving. Leaves far apart, 

 J-l by -1 in., flaccid, lobes 3-4 pair, rather distant; petiole as long as the blade. 

 Calyx ^ in. long, mouth oblique, lobes short crenate. Capsule % in. long, oblong, 

 acute,' slightly oblique, hail exserted, shorter than the decurved slender pedicel. 

 Seeds in. long, slender, acute at both ends, obscurely striate, pale. A remarkable 

 species. 



33. P. fissa, Turcz. ? ; Benth. in DC. Prodr. x. 571 ; stem stout simple 

 leafy pubescent or glabrate, leaves all petioled lanceolate bipinnatisect 

 segments small cartilaginous toothed, spikes dense-fld. villous, bracts long 

 leaf-like lanceolate crenate, calyx-teeth broad obtuse entire, corolla-tube 

 longer than the calyx, upper lip linear-oblong incurved acutely 2-fid hardly 

 beaked, lower glabrous. 



N. KASHMIR ; Dras, alt. 10-11,000 ft., Henderson. DISTRIB. Altai, Dahuria. 



Stem (in the solitary Indian specimen) 8 in., stout, strict. Radical leaves 4-5 in., 

 puberulous beneath; petiole very slender, as long as the blade; cauline similar. 

 Spike 2 in. long ; lower bracts pinuatisect, middle ones 3-tid ; lobes lanceolate, crenate, 

 longer than the calyx ; flower 1 in. long. Calyx | in., ventricose, woolly, nerves 

 strong ; teeth lanceolate, entire. Corolla quite glabrous ; upper lip f in. long, 

 tip rounded in front; lower shorter broadly 3-lobed. Filaments glabrous. This 

 closely resembles several other species of the comosa group, which, with P.jissa, 

 may ultimately prove forms of P. comosa, Linn., itself, as may P. lasioslacKys, Uunge, 

 rut/ens, Steph., and venusta, Schangin. From the typical P. comosa it ditiers in the 

 villous calyx, glabrous filaments, and in the lower lip not being ciliate (the latter of 

 which characters seems often wanting in Siberian specimens of comosa). 



** Upper lip of the corolla rounded at the tip, not beaked. 



34. P. versicolor, WaUb. ; Steven Monogr. Pedic. 52 ; hirsute above, 

 stem short, leaves chiefly radical all petioled linear pinnatifid or pinnatisect, 

 lobes short oblong obtuse crenate, racemes oblong dense-fld., bracts pinnatind,
