 Cat. PL Bomb. 165. U. glochidiata, Wight Ic. t. 1581. 



Almost throughout INDIA in the hills: Himalaya Mts., alt. 3-8000 ft., from Nepal 

 to Bhotan, common ; Khasia Hills frequent ; W. Deccan Peninsula and Ceylon ; 

 Tenasserim to Malacca. DISTRIB. Malaya, S. China. 



Scapes 2-5 in., slender. Leaves^ in. diam. ; petiole \ in. Pedicels \ in. Lower 

 lip of corolla broader than long, with 5 subequal obtuse short lobes (more unequal in 

 an example of Parish from Moulmein) ; pinkish or whiteish, but the spots or tinge of 

 yellow usually prevailing. 



20. U. multicaulis, Oliver in Journ. Linn. Soc. iii. 188; scape 

 1-3-fld., leaves petioled spathulate-orbicular, lower lip of corolla in. 3-4- 

 (sometimes 6-) lobed, spur T ' ff in. linear-cylindric obtuse. 



ALPINE SIKKIM ; Lachen, alt. 10-11,000 ft. ; Lachoong, alt. 6-7000 ft., J. D. S. 



Tufted ; scapes 1-2 in. crowded stouter than those of U. orbiculata. Pedicels 

 0-| in. Fevers pale-flesh colour, throat yellow. Seeds not seen. Allied to U. 

 orbiculata, from which it differs at first sight by the much smaller flowers. 



21. U. furcellata, Oliver in Journ. Linn. Soc. iii. 189 ; scape 2-6-fld., 

 leaves petioled spathulate-orbicular, lower lip of corolla - in. 4-lobed 

 purplish, spur <j-in. linear curved. 



SIKKIM HIMALAYA; at Darjeeling, alt. 7-9000 ft., frequent (Herb. Griffith, 

 &c.). 



Scape 2-3 in., slender, resembling that of U. orbiculata. Lower lip of corolla 

 narrower than broad, purple pink or white, not distinctly yellow. Seeds obovoid, 

 glochidiate, as of U. orbiculata. Known in the field from U. orbiculata by the 

 smaller, less yellow, flowers. 



VAE. minor- scapes ^-1 in. very slender 1-3-fld. Temp. Sikkim ; Lachen, 

 J. D. H. Khasia Mts., Boga Pani, J. D. S. These examples were the type of U. 

 furcellata, Oliver ; the plentiful arrival of subsequent material -shows the " larger 

 Darjeeling form" referred to by Oliver to be the fairly developed state of the 

 species. 



22. U. kumaonensis, Oliver in Journ. Linn. Soc. iii. 189; scape 

 slender 1-3-fld., leaves petioled spathulate-orbicular, lower lip of corolla 

 - in. 5-lobed, spur in. narrowly cylindric, seeds with a tuft of hairs at each 

 end. Diurospermum album, Edgew. in Proc. Linn. Soc. i. 351. 



TEMPEBATE W. HIMALAYA; Kumaon, alt. 7500 ft., near the river Pilti, Strach. 

 Sf Winterb. 



Resembling altogether U. furcellata ; but the lower lip of the corolla is 5-lobed, 

 the spur shorter. The 'young seeds are ellipsoid, smooth, scabrous-papillose at each 

 end ; the ripe seeds have at their end tufts of capillary hairs as long as the seed. 



IMPERFECTLY KNOWN SPECIES. 



1. U. MINUTISSIMA, Vdhl Enum. i. 204 ; scape 2-3 in. capillary, bracts basifixed, 

 flowers blue subsessile, calyx-lobes subobtuse. DC. Prodr. viii. 16; Oliver in Journ. 

 Linn. Soc. iii. 190. Malacca (Koenig). The basifixed scales will not do for U. racemosa,
