Specimen from Phu-la-loong. 



This description is based on an examination of 105 specimens. The species is 

 not closely allied to any Indian one, the nearest species being the European P. acaulis 

 and the Northern Chinese P. Artselceri. From both it is at once distinguished by its 

 ch longer capsules. P. Artselceri has been noted as tinging the paper in which 



pecimens are dried with purple ; the same thing happens with P. Regeliana. Th 



other Indian Pedieularis -that appears to do so is P. megalantha var. paucifl 



57. Pedieularis globifera Hook. f. (1884). '

Plate 32. D ; figs. 7 — 12.— Pedieularis globifera Hook. f. 



Specimen from Sa-moo-da, 40 miles north of Phari. 



This account of P. globifera is based on an examination of 49 specimens. The species 

 is very nearly related to P. cheilanthifolia, of which it repeats every character except 

 that of curvature of upper lip of corolla. In one gathering from Phari the corolla is 

 noted as white; in the Sa-moo-da gathering it is noted as dark purple; usually it 

 appears to be pale pink. It seems to be the representative in the Eastern Himalaya 

 of P. cheilanthifolia .
