“S.E. Tibet :—On precipices, alpine turf, etc. at Ka-gwr-pw. 
Alt. 15,500 ft. July 1913.”’ F. Kingdon Ward. No. 812. 
pro parte mixed with P. Elwesiit, Hook f. and P. quadrata, 
Bonati. 
This plant, allied to P. yunnanensis, Franch., has some ana- 
logies with P. filicula, Franch. and P. Potanini, Maxim. of the 
allied series Caespitosa. It differs from P. filicula, Franch. by 
(x) its radical leaves lessenumerous and with longer petioles ; (2) _ 
its inflorescence in very short racemes ; (3) its staminal filaments 
all glabrous. It differs from -P. Potanini, Maxim. by (1) its in- 
florescence ; (2) its small purple corolla (not yellow like that of 
P. Potanini, Maxim.) ; (3) the lower lip of the corolla being 
ciliate ; (4) the staminal filaments glabrous.
