Specimen from Mussoorie (Gr. King in Herb. Calcutta 



This account of P. carnosa is based on the examination of 131 specimens. It is 

 undoubtedly Rhinanthus bifidus Ham., a sheet of which with 4 specimens and with 

 Dr. Buchanan-Hamilton's manuscript description affixed is preserved in the Calcutta 

 Herbarium. P. laniaera Wall. (Cat. 419), which in the type set (and in most herbaria) is 

 P. brevifolia Don, is, at Calcutta, the woolly condition of this species. Wall. Cat. 418B 

 (Torenia incisa Heyne) is, however, P. seylanica Benth. Its nearest ally is P. crenata 

 Maxim., diagnosed by its shorter beak, its lip subequally lobed, its anterior filaments 

 bearded, and its uncleft calyx.
