natisect, lobes 4-5-jngate, ultimate segments 1-3-jugately 3-partite, 

 lobules subacute, radical rather few not larger than scattered canline ; 

 racemes simple laxly ]2-20-fld., bracts linear-lanceolate entire half as 

 long as pedicels ; capsules widely elliptic compressed ; seeds 2-seriate.

Bootstock stout woody, crowned with withered sheaths. Stems 4^-12 in. branched 

 from base. Leaves 6—8 in. (petioles 4 in.), lobes remote. Flowers ^-f in. long, 

 lower pedicels J in. ; sepals ovate acuminate ; petals without wings, yellow, upper 

 three times as long as obtuse spur, lower distinctly saccate at base. Capsule ^ in. 

 long ^ in. wide. 



Nearest among Indian species to C. adunca with which it agrees in habit and 

 foliage, but differing from the other Indian members of the group by its wide 

 capsule. M. Boissier has inadvertently described the outer petals as broadly winged. 

 Through the kindness of M. Barbey the writer has been able to examine flowers of 

 the type specimens in Herb. Boissier ; in all of them the outer petals are with- 

 out wings precisely as in the Beluchistan plant.

This species has a saccate spur ; as, moreover, recent specimens collected by Mr. 

 Pantling have aa elongated rootstock, it seems to be more naturally located alongside 

 of C. adunca, C.fiabellata and C. adiantifolia which, like itself, have 1-seriate seeds. 

 Mr, Pantling reports the flowers as white. Mr. Maximowicz's species the writer can- 

 not differentiate from this.

Of Indian species this is nearest to C ■ Jiahellata and G. adiantifolia but differs from 

 both in its foliage, which more resembles that cf C. r^l,pestris. C. albicauUs Fra,noh.
