Specimen from Lu-ma-poo, Chumbi. 



There is only one gathering of this species. The plant exactly repeats the habit 

 and foliage of P. Clarkei; as regards corolla it is closely allied to P. rudis, for which 

 it was at first taken. It is, however, as Mr. Maximowicz has shown, perfectly distinct; 

 the diagnosis is as follows : — 



corolla tube glabrous, galea dilated in front with sides villous, lip narrowly 



cuneate-obovate 3-fid shorter than galea with lobes obovate .... P. Prainiana ; 



corolla tube puberulous, galea equally wide throughout with margin 



villous, lip broadly ovate 3-lobed equalling the galea with lobes 

 rounded P. rudis.
