104 BonaTI—PHTHEIROSPERMUM AND PEDICULARIS. 
species or varieties, two of the latter being new. ‘They are :— 
P. densispica, Franch., var. Schneideri, Bonati, P. cephalantha, 
Franch., var. szetchuanica, Bonati. Mr Handel-Mazzetti of 
the Vienna Museum was also a member of this Mission. He 
wrote me recently that he had collected more than a hundred 
species of Pedicularis in the region of the Chungtien Plateau. 
But up till now only a very small portion of the collected material 
has arrived in Europe. He has described recently four new 
species :—P. aequibarbis, Handel-Mazzetti, P. dolichocymba, 
Handel-Mazzetti, P. parvifolia, Handel-Mazzetti, P. -pseudo- 
versicolor, Handel-Mazzetti, among which his P. dolichocymba 
is my P. tristiformis, collected by Captain Kingdon Ward on the 
Chungtien Plateau as long ago as 1912, but which I had never 
been able to publish. Mr Handel-Mazzetti has very kindly sent 
me his diagnosis and some material for study for which I am very 
much obliged. 
The most important collections are the two made by Mr George 
Forrest and Captain Kingdon Ward. The collection of Mr 
Forrest contains 78 numbers among which I have found the fol- 
lowing new species :—P. aequibarbis, Handel-Mazzetti, P. doli- 
chocymba, Handel-Mazzetti, P. humilis, Bonati, P. kariensis, 
Bonati, P. cymbalaria, Bonati, P. lucifuga, Bonati, P. galeata, 
Bonati, P. tribuloides, Bonati, P. Handel-Mazzettii, Bonati, and 
P. auratum, Bonati. I have also met with again iff 
the collection of Mr — Forrest many rare species 
of which the geographical distribution is little known 
such as :—P. taliensis, Bonati, P. Monbeigiana, Bonati, P. For- 
restiana, Bonati, P. Smithiana, Bonati, P. sigmoidea, Franch., 
P. tsekouensis, Bonati, P. Vial, Franch., P. Bietii, Franch., 
P. pseudo-melampyriflora, Bonati, P. yargongensis, Bonati, P. 
dichotoma, Bonati, P. cranolopha, Maxim., P. hirtella, Franch., 
P. pseudo-ingens, Bonati, P. strobilacea, Franch., etc., etc. 
The collection of Captain Kingdon Ward contains only 40 
numbers, but it is equally of great interest. It contains the 
following new species :—P. quadrata, Bonati, P. praeruptorum, 
Bonati, P. Wardii, Bonati, P. lacerata, Bonati, P. insignis, Bon- 
ati, P. atra, Bonati, P. pseudo-atra, Bonati, P. Reynieri, Bonati, 
P. nobilis, Bonati, P. birmanica, Bonati, P. laktangensis, Bonati. 
Here also we find again many rare species whose distribution is 
little known such as :—P. macrosiphon, Franch., P. strobil- 
acea, Franch., P. dichotoma, Bonati, P. taliensis, Bonati, P. 
Duclouxii, Bonati, P. dolichocymba, Handel-Mazzetti, P. cym- 
balaria, Bonati. I describe further on all the new species and 
varieties. Then I give synoptic tables and indicate the different
