Specimen from Phari. 



This description is founded on an examination of 12 specimens— 2 from Sse-t> huan, 

 collected by Potanin; 4 from Kansu, collected by Przewa) kiijand C from PI. ri, obtained 

 by one of Dr. King's native collectors. 



The Phari specimens are very poor and, till Mr. Maximowi< x kindly sent to 

 Calcutta the excellent suite of Chinese specimens, could not be disposed of, but were 

 placed tentatively beside P. aspleniifolia var. pubescens (now P. Dalloni). From P. Dallum 

 however, P. Przewalskii is very distinct, the diagnosis lutw.ni tho special being s 



follows 



corolla tube uniform externally densely pubescent, lobes of lip subequnl, 



basal portion of gradually-beaked galea ereot beak horizontal, 

 filaments inserted at apex of tube 



corolla tube expanded at top glabrescent relatively shorter, mid-lobe of 



lip smallest, base of abruptly-beaked galea reflexed beak deelinate, 



P Prwrahlii ; 



filaments inserted below apex of tube P. Da It mi. 



The corolla of the Phari specimens agrees exactly with that of the Chinese ones, 

 but the calyx is shorter and is subinflated. As regards calyx the Chinese specimens < 

 P. Przewalshi more closely resemble P. Daltoni than the specimens from Phari do.
