F. Kingdon Ward. No. 3572. 
A plant of peculiar appearance; in its stamens with filaments 
all glabrous and its calyx with five teeth it approaches P. 
melampyriflora, Franch. ; it is easily distinguished from that 
species by its hood being very hairy and without crest, by its 
appearance, etc. 
The discovery by Mr Kingdon Ward of P. aira, Bonati, P. 
pseudo-atra, Bonati and P. Reynieri, Bonati increases to 7 the 
number now known of the series of the Melampyriflorae. The 
whole of the series is reviewed in the following table.
