 whorled petioled ovate-oblong pinnatisect, segments oblong-obtuse, in- 

 cised-serrate ; flowers whorled, whorls numerous distinct ; corolla-tube 

 twice as long as calyx, upper lip slightly curved, apex somewhat in-

Stems 1*5-2 ft. long; cauline leaves '75-1 in. long, petioles *25-'4 in. long, 

 radical leaves evanescent. Flowers in rather distant whorls, except the uppermost; 

 hracts leafy. Calyx *25 in. long ; lobes rather large, unequal ; the anterior and lateral 

 ovate, incised-serrate, the upper deltoid entire, small ; lateral twice as large as 

 anterior 4 times as large as upper. Corolla rose; tube widened upwards, 4 in. 

 long ; limb '2 in. wide ; lip *3 in. wide. Capsule narrowly lanceolate, acute, twice 

 as long as calyx, *5 in. long. Seeds ovoid, testa black, finely reticulate. 



Most nearly related to P. verticillata Liun. and P. refracta Maxim., but while 

 differing considerably from both in habit and foliage, it further differs from 

 P. verticillata in having a calyx with large teeth and with the tube reticulated 

 throughout, and further differs from P. refracta in having the anterior and lateral 

 calyx-teeth serrate instead of entire. In habit it most resembles P. flexuosa, but is 

 glabrescent, where that species is hirsute, or still more P. gracilis var. macrocarpa, 

 from which it is hardly distinguishable in fruit. The flowers of these two last species 

 have, however, long-beaked corollas.
