 passing into bracts ; flowers few racemose, bracts leafy incised ; outer 

 petals without crests, the appei* with a long incurved spur two-thirds the 

 length of lamina.

Rootstock very slender, 8 in. long, scaly ; stem 4-6 in., radical leaves 8 in. (petioles 

 5 in. long) ; pinnae imbricately overlapping ultimate pinnules oblong or linear very 

 small numerous ; flowers whitish-yellow, 1 in. long. 



The rootstock is like that of C. latiflora which it also resembles in having its 

 lowest pair of stem leaves opposite. But its leaf-segments are many times mora 

 numerous and smaller, its stems are stouter and, instead of giving off two leafless 

 lateral branches in the axils of a solitary pair of opposite cauliue leaves each stem is 

 prolonged beyond the pair as a leafy sometimes branching stem with alternate leaves ; 

 it has, too, incised in place of linear bracts and I'acemose in place of subumbellat© 

 flowers ; these yellow, not blue, are without crests and have a long spur.

A very distinct species, hitherto only obtained in the Kurram Valley. 



It may be noted that the name of this species dates from 1882 and is therefore 

 much anterior to the name G. pulchella Franch. \_Pl. Delavay. 45. t. 13 b (1889)] 

 applied to a species from Yunujin with leaves and flowers resembling those of 

 C. nana Eoyle but with a leafless stem and a very different rootstock. A new 

 name has therefore to be provided for the Yunnan plant ; as there is already a 

 C. Franchetiana, it might be known as C Adrieyii.
