small. Calyx ovoid-campanulate, upper lip recurved with 3 conniving teeth, 

 lower acutely 2-toothed. Corolla-tube not annulate within ; upper lip arched, 

 lower with oblong lateral lobes and a rounded midlobe. Connectives deflexed 

 behind, united by the callous tips, imperfect cell abruptly dilated. 



7. S. dumetorum, Andrz. in Rep. Enum. PI. Volkyn. 3, 40 ; hirsute 

 tomentose or pubescent, lower leaves long-petioled ovate- or oblong-cordate 

 doubly crenate rugulose above, floral rounded, whorls viscid distant 6-fld.,

WESTERN HIMALAYA; Kashmir, alt. 6000 ft., Falconer, Clarke. DISTEIB. 

 Yolhynia, Podolia, Altai. 



Stem 1-3 ft., very robust, tall and much branched in Kashmir specimens. Leaves 

 3-4 by lJ-2^ in,, petiole of lower 1-4 in.; floral cuspidate, in. diam. Calyx, 

 flowering | in. Corolla |-| in., blue, tube exserted, throat inflated. Very near and 

 perhaps only a variety of S. pratensis, L. 



Sect. 4. Notiosphace, Benth. Herbs or shrubs with minute floral 

 leaves. Calyx with the upper lip entire, or shortly 3-toothed, lower 2-fid. 

 Corolla small, tube annulate within. Connectives distant in front, acute or 

 bearing an empty anther. 



8. S. saxicola, Wall. Cat. 2147 ; dwarf, subscapigerous, radical 

 leaves long-petioled broad oblong or rounded cordate coarsely crenate, 

 cauline few or 0, floral minute ovate, whorls distant or the upper crowded, 

 calyx nodding, corolla very short. Benth. in Wall. PL As. liar. i. 68, Lab. 

 310, and in DC. Prodr. xii. 355. 



KHASIA MTS., alt. 4-6000 ft. ; Wallich, &c. 



Rootstock woody. Leaves 1-1 J in. diam., nearly glabrous; petiole 2-3 in., 

 slender, Scapes 6-12 in., pubescent. Calyx, flowering in., fruiting | in., glan- 

 dular-hairy. Corolla v6ry short, pale purple, lips short. Connective with the an- 

 theriferous arm decurved, the other shorter, acute, Nutlets ^ in., ellipsoid. 



9. S. plectranthoides, Griff. Notul. iv. 199, and Ic. PL Asiat. 

 t. 450 ; herbaceous, slender, sparsely hairy, leaves chiefly radical pinnate, 

 segments few ovate or broadly oblong-cordate, terminal much the largest, 

 lateral sessile or petiolulate, petiole very slender, scape long, spike simple, 

 calyx nodding glandular-hairy. Plectranthus, Griff. It. Notes, 163, 

 n. 845. 



EASTERN HIMALAYA ; Bhotan, near Panukka, Griffith. 



Habit of a Valeriana. Rootstoclc rather slender. Leaves membranous, 3-5 in. ; 

 pinnules 2-5 pairs, terminal 2-3 in. long, base rounded or deeply lobed, lateral ovate- 

 lanceolate. Scape or stem very slender, 18 in. ; whorls few-fld. Calyx pedicelled, 

 upper lip entire, lower 2-toothed. Corolla flesh-coloured; tube shortly exserted, 

 hairy; upper lip arched, lower with small erect lateral lobes and an orbicular notched 

 midlobe. Connectives recurved, barren arm obtuse. Griffith's figure of this remark- 

 able species represents a very stout plant with sessile leaflets ; his specimens are very 

 slender, with usually petiolulate leaflets. It is very near S.japonica, Thunb., differing 

 only in the shorter calyx-teeth. 



10. S. plebeia, Br. Prodr. 501; annual, stem stout erect hoary or 

 scaberulous, leaves petioled oblong obtuse or upper ovate acute crenate, 

 spikes panicled often fastigiate, whorls very numerous, upper calyx-lip 

 entire, lower obtusely 2-toothed, stamens very small whitish. Benth. Lab.
