3-i D. Prain — Some add iiional Famvt,ria.cesd. ['No.l^ 



Stems 4-6 in. not exceeding radical leaves. Flowers f in, winged very like those 

 of C meifolia but with a much larger spur, which is more like that of C. duhia. In 

 foliage this much resembles C. eonspersa Maxim, which has however very different 

 flowers. 



Mr. Maxim owicz quotas Dr. Watt as the original collector of the species. This is 

 a mistake arising from Mr. Ellis the actual collector, having used field tickets 

 supplied him by Dr. Watt, with Dr. Watt's name left unobliterated. The matter 

 is not of much moment, but is mentioned in case the citation should lead to dubiety 

 on the part of any one unacquainted with the actual circumstances. 



33. {sub 10.) CoRYDALis Clarkei Prain; medium, tufted, diffuse, 

 glaucescent, glabrous; radical leaves oblong 4^5-jugately pinnate, ulti- 

 mate lobules few large decurrent acute ; stem simple, oauline leaves 4 in 



2 subopposite pairs; racemes oblong dense raany-fld., flowers light yellow 

 subvertical, outer petals v^ringed the wing of the upper extending half 

 way down the straight obtuse spur ; capsule very broadly ovate, obtuse.

Stems 10 in. Radical leaves 6-8 in. petioles 3 in. vaginate, cauline leaves 2-3 in. 

 Flowers ^ in. long. Capsules J in. long nearly ^ in. across. 



The foliage of this species recalls that of C Moarcroftiana which it also resem- 

 bles in having at times branches in the region of the inflorescence ; one of Dr, 

 Falconer's Alimalikimat specimens is so branched. But it differs in having its stem 

 leaves, in all the specimens, subopposed in 2 pairs; its fruits moreover are very 

 different, being much shorter and broader and being obtuse instead of acute. Its 

 very broad flowers are almost identical with those of C. elegnns with which, in the 

 Flora of British India, though not in the Flora Indica, it has been associated. Its 

 altogether dissimilar leaves, very differently disposed, make it however impossible to 

 treat it as a variety of that species. 



34. ( — .) CoRYDALis FiiANOHETiANA Praifi ; radical leaves numer- 

 ous 2-pinnatisect, segments lanceolate, cauline leaves alternate numerous 

 passing into bracts ; raceme terminal many-fld. ; biacts broad lower 

 3-5-fid., hardly equalling the very long pedicels. 



Eastern Himalaya ; Clmmbi ; at Sham Chen, Dunghoo ! 

 Stem 10-16 in. rather stout, flexuous, 5-10-leaved ; radical leaves 6-8 in, long 

 petiole 4 in. long, lamina 1-1| in. across, pinnae 2-4'-paired sub-orbicular | in. across 

 lobes 2-3-iugate, ultimate segments oblong-lanceolate aonte ; radical leaves pinnati- 

 partite, petioles short, winged. Flowei^s f in. long, yellow with purple tips ; 

 racemes lax, 4 in. long; in one specimen axillary racemes occur in the axils of the 



3 uppermost stein leaves ; bracts 1 in., pedicels 1 4 in long. Posticous petal vaulted, 

 acute, nearly as long as the slender spar. Pedicels recurved in fruit, capsules 



mmature. 



Very near the preceding species, bat distinguished by its numerous scattered 

 stem-leaves and its flowers with uncrested petals.
