Plate 29. C; figs. 17-23.— Pedicularis polygaloides Hook. /. 



Specimen from Ze-lep-la. 

 This species is very nearly related to P. denudata, of which it has all the character 



f corolla except that the filaments here are glabrous, while those of P. denudata are 



all hirsute. Hut in habit it repeats all the characters of P. instar var. paradoxa, just as 

 P demdata hi habit repeats those of P. instar var. typica.

Specimen from Patang-la. 



There is only one gathering of this species at Calcutta, from which the present 

 description is elaborated. It repeats in every detail the habit of P. instar var. typica, 

 and has the same calyx and almost the same capsule and seeds. The corolla, 

 however, is very like that of P. polygaloides, the only differences being a rather lower 

 staminal insertion and hirsute filaments.
