It has been already suggested * that N. pedicularifolia, A. W. Hill, is the Nototriche 
incana, Turcz., and as the evidence is so strongly in favour of this view, I have here 
definitely assumed that it is the case. This species is closely allied to N. Lorentzii, 
which is chiefly distinguished, however, by the presence of long hairs on the leaves. As 
regards the shape and arrangement of the leaves (Pl. 27. fig. 5), N. pedicularifolia agrees 
both with N. argyllioides and with N.Niederleinii, but the character of its corolla as well 
as the tomentum afford very ready means of separating it from the two latter species. 
The absence of a tube to the corolla in N. pedicularifolia and JN. Lorentzii is a very 
Characteristic feature, and may be one of considerable phylogenetie value; it is 
associated in these two species with long narrow petals, and suggests a probable alliance 
with N. flabellata, in which a similar type of corolla is found. An almost polypetalous 
corolla is also found in N. sulphurea ; but this species, though doubtless nearly allied, 
can be readily separated from WN. pedicularifolia by the character of its lamina, 
tomentum, and carpels. 
The beakless carpels of N. pedicularifolia (Pl. 30. fig. 16), with their long silky hairs, 
serve to distinguish this species; unfortunately the ripe carpels of N. Lorenízii are not 
known, but the immature carpels resemble those of N. pedicularifolia.
