■ Specimen from Lahul (Jaeschke n. 230). 



This account of P. tenuirostris is based on the examination of 39 specimens 

 (23 gatherings', with analyses of flowers from 35 specimens. The species is at once 

 diao-nosed both from P. pyramidata and P. pectinata by its sessile cauline leaves. Duthie 

 n. 1873 (issued as "P. pyramidata") is a gathering of excellent fruiting specimens of 

 this; the original specimen preserved at Saharanpur still retains some corollas.
