Rootsock dividing below, 3—6 in. long. Stems 8-15 in. leafy, very flexuous. Radical 

 leaves very few long petioled. Flowers \ in. long, yellow, or yellow with brown or 

 purple tips ; racemes 1-2 in ; upper lamina rather longer than the straight spur. 

 Capsules obovate-oblong obtuse, pedicels deflexed. 



A very distinct species, most nearly related to C. meifolia ; not very nearly 

 allied to C. ramosa. The uncrested " variety " is not improbably a quite distinct 

 species. 



44. (15/3.) Corydalis nana i2o?/Ze, III. 68 (1839); small, often 

 dwarf, stems ascending, cauline leaves usually 3, with or without short 

 axillary branches, leaves 4-5-jugately pinnatisect segments 2-3-jugately 

 pinnatipartite, lobes multifid; racemes terminal congested raany-fld., 

 flowers partially hidden among the large cuneate flabellate multipartite 

 bracts. C. ramosa var. nana H. f. ^ T. Flor. Ind. 267 ; Flor. Brit.

RootstocTc rather stout, dividing below, 3-6 in. long. Stems 1-4 in. leafy, usually 

 the lowest 2 leaves sxibopposite the third close under the inflorescence ; radical few, 

 long-petioled, cauline subsessile. Flower ^ in. long, blneish-grey tipped with green ; 

 racemes ^ in. or less ; upper lamina rather longer than straight spur, outer petals 

 with short crests. Capsules obovate-obtuse, pari?lally buried among the bracts, 

 pedicels very abruptly recurved. 



Also a very distinct species, though nearest to the preceding. The writer has 

 been able to ascertain the identity of this species with C. Hoffmeisteri owing to the 

 great kindness of Prof. Engler and Dr. Urban, who very generously sent an example 

 of Dr. Hoffmeister's original plant to the Calcutta Herb, from the Royal Herb., 

 Berlin.
