50 
mm, across; lobes obcordate, longer and narrower and not overlapping in the long- 
styled form; tube pale-yellow, 2—3 times the length of the calyx; capsule inciuded 
within the calyx, obovate, rounded at the apex; seeds many. | 
Western HIMALAYA: abundant along the upper portions of the Kagán and Siran 
Valleys at elevations of between 10,000 and 14,000 feet; Duthies Collector, W. KASHMIR; 
in the Muzaffarabad district ; Duthie’s Collector. | 
Closely allied to P. Jaffreyana King, a very rare Eastern Himalayan species 
found in the Chumbi Valley at an elevation of about 12,000 feet. It differs in the 
venation of the leaves, and in the shape of the ovary; the underside of the leaves are 
persistently coated with a brilliant silvery mealiness.

secondary venation finely distinctly reticulate; lamina 8—16 cm. long, 3'5—7 cm, wide, 
on young trees sometimes 70—75 cm, long, 30 сш. wide; petioles 4—7 em. long; 
flowers axillary, near apices of branches, usually in fascicles of 6—10, lower down with 
sparsely pubescent, furrowed peduncles 2—6 cm. long springing from the centre of 
the axillary fascicle and bearing at intervals, 1 cm. apart, similar fascicles racemosely 
disposed; pedicels slender, pubescent, “75 cm. long; bracts and bracteoles minute ; 
calyz puberulous externally, glabrous within, lobes 5, suborbicular, much imbricated ;
