Plate 9. A— C; figs. 1—7. — Pedicularis Scullyana Prain. 



A— Specimen from Gossain Than, Nepal. 

 B — „ „ Pey-kiong-la, Jongri. 



C— Fruiting specimen from Bijan, on the Sikkim-Nepal frontier. 



The account of P. Scullyana is based on the examination of 55 specimens in flower ai 1 

 fruit. It is most nearly allied to P. macrantha, from which it differs by its much lar P r 

 flowers, its smaller mid-lobe of lip and much shorter beak. This, and not P. macranU, 

 is the Nepal species sent to Calcutta by Scully. Wallich's specimens were mixed, not b } 

 Wallich himself, but by Don ! with P. megalantha; a sheet of this, named "P. tmgahntha 



Don himself and distributed "ex herb. R. Brown," is in the Calcutta herbarium. 

 The Jongri specimens have stouter stems than Scully's specimens, but not than Wallich' 

 Nepal one. In both the Nepal gatherings the corolla is somewhat more abruptly 

 beaked than it is in any of the Jongri ones.
