Plate 25. C; figs. 13 — 19. — Pedicularis schizorrhyncha Prain 



Specimen from Sikkim (Jaffrey). 







The account of P. schizorrhyncha is based on an examination of 73 specimens. 

 This species repeats the habit and foliage of P. chumbica, to which, however, it is not 

 very closely related; the diagnosis has been already given. This seems an opposite- 

 leaved Rostrata rather than a truly Ortkorrhynchous species.
