B— Specimen from Pangi. 



C__ of subvar. "speciosa" from Jongri. 



This account of P. Roylei is based on an examination of 161 specimens. The species 

 in habit and foliage closely resembles P. verticillata, which is, however, distinct. The 

 diagnosis is as follows : 



bracts pinnatisect or -partite, calyx deeply toothed hardly cleft upper tooth 

 entire the others serrate, corolla tube bent in middle obtusely, filaments 

 inserted near middle of tube all glabrous, anthers ovate acute, capsule 

 ovate acuminate half exserted, seeds 1*25 mm., pale, distinctly reticulated P. Roylei ; 



bracts ovate subentire, calyx hardly toothed cleft to the middle margin 



entiro, corolla tube abruptly bent at junction of middle and lower 

 third, filaments inserted opposite top of ovary anterior pair hirsute, 

 anthers broadly elliptic muticous, capsule lanceolate acute more than 

 half exserted, seeds 2 mm. nigrescent minutely reticulated ... P. verticillata. 



Reichen bach's figure of P. verticillata {Icon. Fl. Germ, t 1762, /. 1 — 14), which 



[i in other respects good, unfortunately gives the anterior filaments glabrous, which is 

 erroneous. Lunge (Bot. Tidskr. Kjob. iv, t 2, /. 3) has given a very exact figure of the 

 seeds of P. verticillata, which are remarkably nnlike those of P. Roylei (cf. Plate 37). 



I have in this case avoided giving a varietal definition of the typical plant because 

 the striking form from Jongri, which has been received twice from the same locality 

 (September 1887, and again September 1888), does not appear to differ by any other 

 character than the much larger flowers. It has not yet been collected in fruit, and 

 m only tentatively advanced as a sub-variety. It is not, as the artist unfortunately 

 has indicated (fig. C), 2-denticulate below the apex. 



The character of discrete or contiguous anthers (cf. figs. 8 and 9) relied on by Dr. Regel 

 and others in the diagnosis of P. verticillata is, I find, of no value in this species.
