A — Specimen from Lahul (Brandis). 



B— „ „ Safed Koh, Afghanistan (Collett n. 122). 



This account of P. pyramidata is based on the analysis of flowers from 39 specimen 

 The species is closely allied to P. pectinata, of which it appears to bo the r< presentativ.- 

 in the trans-Indus Himalayan district. The areas affected by the two species ars 

 distinct in the outer Himalayan ranges and hardly overlap in the inner ranges. Th 

 time has not yet arrived for the treatment of this plan* as a mere variety 

 P. pectinata ; the diagnosis has been already given under that species.
