106 BoNnaTI—PHTHEIROSPERMUM AND PEDICULARIS. 
tenwtsectum, Bur. et Franch., of which the corolla is also yellow, 
by its much more developed leaves with large lobes, by its diffuse 
branches, its glabrous capsules, etc. It differs from Phth. 
Parishti, Hook. f., of which the colour of the corolla is unknown 
to me, by its larger long-petioled leaves, with broad non-linear 
lobes, by its larger glabrous capsule, by the seeds seven or eight 
times the size and by its seed coat being clear yellow and not 
black. Finally it differs from Phth. glandulosum, Benth., 
which is only imperfectly known to me, by its leaves not being 
trifid, by its equally lobed calyx, etc. 
Phth. Esquirolii, Bonati in Monde des Plantes (1907) p. 14 is 
only a local: form peculiar to Kweichow of Phth. chinense, Bge. 
Pedicularis humilis, Bonati. Sp. nov. (Longiflorae). 
Perennis? Radices fusiformes elongatae. Caules multi patuli, 
repentes, glabrescentes, simplices vel paulo ramosi, 5~-1 
longi. Folia radicalia longe petiolata, glabra; petiolis stricte 
alatis basi dilatatis circa 2 mm. longis ; limbo circa 15 mm. longo 
7-10 mm. lato pinnatisecto, 5-6 jugis loborum ovato-acutorum 
pinnatilobulatorum; lobulis acutis et acutidentatis. Folia 
caulinaria alterna, raro subopposita, radicalibus similia, sed 
breviora ac brevius petiolata, lobis linearibus basi  arcuatis. 
Bracteae foliiformes. Flores avxillares, pauci, pedunculati, 
erecti; pedunculis 3-10 mm. longis glabris. Calyx membran- 
aceus, glabrescens, margine ciliatus, 5-6 mm. longus, antice pro- 
funde fissus subspathaceus, lobis duobus 1-2 mm. longis basi 
constrictis ac stipitatis summo palmatisectis ; segmentis lineari- 
bus acutidentatis, nervis paulo eminentibus summo reticulatis. 
Corolla rosea; tubo cylindrico villoso 1o-25 mm. longo; galea 
basi contorta pilis glandulosis brevissimis tecta, cum crista paulo 
eminente ; in parte inferiore circa 3 mm. longa; in parte horizon- 
tali falciformi lente in apicem sigmoideum 7-8 mm. longum fili- 
formem summo breviter bifidum attenuata ; labio inferiore patulo 
parvo suborbiculari, 9-10 mm. longo, circa 15 mm. lato, super- 
ficialiter trilobato; lobo medio profunde bilobato, lateralibus 
minore; lobis lateralibus emarginatis, omnibus margine dense 
ciliatis. Stamina ad summum tubi inserta ; filamentis duobus 
villosis. Antherae ovoidae, summo rotundae, loculis obtusis. 
Capsula ac semina?. 
“West China :—Shweli-Salween divide. Moist stony pasture. 
Lat. 25°30’N. Alt. 10,000 ft. Plant of 3-5 ins. Flowers rose. 
July 1913.’’ G. Forrest. No. II,969. 
The species belongs to the series of the Longiflorae in view of 
its bi-lobed calyx and the elongated corolla tube. Its lower caul- 
ine leaves seem to be sometimes opposite. It is akin to P. armata,
