These two much resemble each other, but nevertheless differ constantly in all the 

 numerous points given in the diagnosis. The two calyces shown in fig. 3 occurred 

 on the same specimen — one from Lingtoo, in Sikkim.

Specimen from Na-tong, Sikkim . , 



This account is based on the examination of corollas from 43 specimens and capsules 

 from 17 fruiting specimens. 



The species is most nearly allied to P. furfuracea^ and is accounted for in the 



Flora of British India as a variety of that species. It differs, however, sufficiently 

 to be entitled to specific rank. The diagnosis is as follows : 



calyx not cleft teeth large, lobes of lip not truncate margin ciliate ; 



beak 2-fid segments emarginate, outer lobules smaller, anterior 

 filaments puberulous p. Pantlingii ; 



calyx deeply cleft teeth minute, lobes of Up truncate eciliate, beak 



2-fid segments emarginate outer lobules ovate larger, all filaments 



glubrous 



P. furfuracea.
