1893.] D. Pram — Two species of Pedicularis. 9 



pair are hirsute ; the anthers though muticous as in P. verticillata are 

 contiguous and not discrete. The fruit is unknown. 



As both these species belong to one natural group it may be useful 

 to provide a key, modified, so as to admit of their reception, from the 

 key already published by the writer (Ann. Boy. JBot. Garden, Calcutta, 

 iii, 94), in which the relative position of these and of the previously 

 known species is shown.

 Galea less than half the length of the Up : — 

 Bracts flabellate, spike long, dense ; calyx 

 small, subglobose, not cleft, teeth small,
