in honour of Reginald Cory, Esq., of Duffryn, Cardiff, to whom

by George Forrest in Western China. ‘The name was attached 
by Sir Isaac Bayley Balfour to the original fruiting specimens, 
but no description has been found.

We are unable to separate these specimens collected in S.E. 
Tibet from the Himalayan P. Dickicana, Watt or its ally 
P. Pantlingii which latter seems to us to be only a 1~2-flowered 
variety of P. Dickicana. Hitherto P. Dickweana was known 
only from Sikkim where it is a comparatively rare species. Its 
foliage is peculiarly gland-dotted and the S.E. Tibet specimens 
show the same character. We would add here that P. Valen- 
tiniana, Hand.-Mzt. shows the same sunken glands and 
resembles P. Dickieana in foliage characters. In P. Valentiniana, 
however the flowers are pendent and the calyx entirely different. 
It has been referréd by its author to the group of the 
Amethystinae. Its affinity is certainly with P. Dickieana, 
whatever the correct section may be.

A variety more removed from P. Dickieana than the var. 
Pantlingii,
