Specimen from the solitary gathering. 



The material of this species is not very adequate, but it is impossible to asso iute 

 it with any of the known species of tho genus. The corolla diilVit from that of /'. 

 binaria only in having the lower lip eciliate and the central lube of the lip I depressed; 

 the habit and foliage of P. binaria are, however, so very dissimilar that it is impos*ibl< 

 to unite it with that species. It is not unlike a dwarfed condition of J*. Jlcxuota with 

 whorled instead of opposite and with much more incised leaves ; it has, however, a 

 denexed and more deeply emarginate beak; the calyx, besides, is very different. Th 

 species that it most closely resembles is P. odontoj>hora 9 from which it is, how< v< r, at 

 once diagnosed by the absence of teeth on tho corolla throat and by the leaves being 

 whorled and not alternate. It is peculiar among Indian species in its time of flowering, 

 almost the only other species collected so early in the year being P. siphmanlha.
