“ Plant of 24-44 ft. Flowers deep rich blue. Moist, rocky 
situations amongst scrub on the eastern flank of the Lichiang 
Range. Lat. 27° 20’ N. Alt. 11-12,000 ft. August 1906.” 
G. Forrest. No. 2694. 
This Delphinium is easily recognised by the curious shape of 
the spur of the perianth. It resembles therein D. Bonvalott, 
Franch., of the Tatsienlou region, but is distinguished from that 
by its pubescent leaves, the colour of the perianth, and the 
neatly glabrous carpels. Soulié, No. 1097 was placed with 
Delphinium Delavayi, Franch., var. acuminatum, Franch., by 
Finet et Gagnepain, but is different from it; it has a similar 
spur to that of D. Bulleyanum, but longer and more hairy 
flowers.

“Plant of 2-3 ft. Flowers rose-purple. Open mountain 
meadows on the eastern flank of the Tali Range. Lat. 25° 
40’ N._ Alt. g-11,000 ft. August 1906.” G. Forrest. No. 
4369. 
s is a species of the Lycoctonum section, but completely 
different from A. brevicalcaratum (Fin. et Gagnep.), Diels. The 
stem and leaves are nearly glabrous, the flowers pedunculate, 
the perianth pale coloured, the hood less beaked, the petals totally 
different, and the carpels more hairy, although all other parts of 
the plant are much more glabrous. 
It resembles A. scaposum, Franch., of Central China, but the 
bracts are all entire, the hood shorter, the leaves more deeply cut 
and more glabrous.
