The spécimens in Herb. Calcutta were coUected by D'' A. Regel in 

 Turkeslan. Alamanlinka Minor; 1 hâve, however, examined many other 

 spécimens from Turkestan lent by D'' Batalin and hâve examined in 

 Europe examples of Karelin's original galhering. From the St. Petersburg 

 collection I bave ascertained tliat the flowers vary considerably in size 

 and somewhat also in colour (usually the corolla is pink and white but 

 there are examples with uniformly pale-yeliow flowers) ; the foliage 

 however remains very constant and the only species that is quite like 

 il in this respect is C. cyrtoceiUra from Chitral. The form of the flower 

 too is very constant in C. Ledebourinna, though Ihere are some examples 

 in the St. Petersburg Herbarium thaï I bave referred to Ihis species. 

 which bave the spur lilled upward; but for the smailer size and Ihr 

 swolien apex of the spur thèse might almost be considered conspecific 

 wilh the Chitral plant described as C. cyrtoceutra.
