The capsules, in all the Indian specimens at Calcutta, are pubescent.

2. Linaria incana Wall. PI. As. Ear. ii. 43; Benth., DG. Prodr. x.

The above are the Herb. Calcutta localities for this plant, which the writer is 

 inclined to agree with Clarke and Aitchison in uniting with L. ramosissima. This 

 is the species with softly hirsute leaves and echinate or, as Bentham expresses it 

 " muricate-tubercular " seeds, exactly like those of L. ramosissima. 



3. Linaria cabulica Benth., DG. Prodr. x. 270. L. incana Hook. 

 /., Flor. Brit. Ind. iv. 252. 



Afghanistan : Griffith K.D. 3859, named by Bentham ! Kashmir : 

 Srinagar, Clarke 29124! Gammie! Falconer 763 ! 



The above are the localities of the specimens in Herb. Calcutta of this species, 

 which is, as an authentic sheet named by Bentham shows, the one with flowers, 

 capsules, and seeds larger than in L. ramosissima and L. incana; in this plant the 

 seeds have a closely roughly pitted testa, not echinate or " muricate-tubercular."
