“West China :—A-tun-tsu. Alt. 13,000 ft. In damp shade 
in forest and shrub belt. August 1913.’’ F. Kingdon Ward. 
0. 935. 
A plant allied to P. axillaris, Franch., from which its main 
differences are :—(1) the form of the leaves, (2) the hairy calyx, 
(3) all the staminal filaments hairy to the base. Its capsule is 
equally as remarkable as and resembles those of P. Souliei, 
Franch. and P. Petitmengini, Bonati. Unfortunately we have 
no certain and authentic specimens of the capsule of 
P. axillaris, Franch. it2sass> eqially <..near «to -P. 
heterophylla, Bonati, collected in 1913 by Rev. Pére 
Soulié in the forests of Yargong, a _ region relatively 
near to A-tun-tsu; the leaves and the hairy calyx are similar in 
the two plants but P. lacerata, Bonati has :—(1) the lower lip 
ciliate on the edges, (2) the staminal filaments all hairy to the 
base, (3) the lower lip with the middle lobe smaller than the 
lateral.
