1896.] D. Prain — Some additional Fumariaeese. 25 



11. (2.) CORYDALIS PLACCTDA II. f. $f T. 



In one gathering, from Cho-la in Sikkim, the Native Collector records the 

 flowers as "yellow;" in all the others the flowers are said to be " purple," "dark- 

 purple," or " reddish-blue." 



12. (3.) CORYDALTS LEPTOCARPA ST. /. Sf T. 



Add to localities of F. B. I. : — Assam : Naga Hills, at Kohima and 

 Jotsoma Prain ! on Japvo, Colomb ! Manjpur : Khongwi Valley, Watt! 

 Upper Burma : Mynela, Anderson ! 



13. ( .) CORYDALIS TRITERNATA Francll.? 



Tall, leaves thrice ternate and ultimate segments again 3-partite to 

 -sect, the lobules spathulate. 



Manipdr: Chingsow, at 7-8,000 feet, Watt n. 6314! 



Stems 1-2 ft. roots tufted; radical petioles 8—10 in., cauline 3-4 in., primary 

 petiolules 2 in., secondary J-f in , lobules glaucous beneath f in. long, |-J in. across. 



This plant, very distinct from any other Indian speeies, may possibly prove 

 to be the same as M. Franchet's G. triternata of which it closely imitates the 

 foliage. It also, however, resembles somewhat •0. Davidi Franchet, from E. Tibet 

 and O. Balansie Prain,* from Tonkin; this latter, however, rather belongs to the group 

 containing C. ophiocarpa. Till flowers and fruits are reported, the identity or non- 

 identity of the present species with any of these cannot be vouched for. Its tufted 

 roots indicate that its natural alliance is with 0. leptocarpa, with which species it 

 has in fact been by Dr. Watt tentatively placed. 



14. ( — .) Corydalis Laelia Prain; erect, quite glabrous, leafy, 

 leaves equally ternate, segments again ternate, lobes 2-jugately pinnati- 

 partite, ultimate lobules lanceolate 2-3-fid, radical petioles very long, 

 all broadly vaginate in lower third; racemes in large wide-spreading 

 panicles, lowest bract leafy incised the remainder linear as long as the 

 pedicels. 



Eastern Himalaya : Sikkim ; Lingtoo, Natoot, Patangla, King's 

 Collectors ! Chumbi ; Lu-naa-poo, Kungboo, King's Collectors ! Bootan ; 

 in Upper Dichu Valley, Cummins ! 



* Corydalis Balansje Prain ; tail, leaves glaucous beneath, 2-pinnatisect, the 

 lobules ovate unequally 3-5-lobed ; racemes lax many-fid terminal and axillary, flowers 

 white, bracts small ovate-acute pedicels very short; outer petals spathulate apex 

 obcordate mucronulate, dorsal wings very small, upper lamina 4 times as long as 

 saccate incurved spur; inner petals with projecting apical wing; capsules narrow 

 subfalcate apex acute ; seeds 1-seriate compressed black, minutely puncticulate and 

 with large strophiole. 



Tonkin : Langson, "a, 1'entree des grottes," Balansa. n. 1557! 



Stems 12-18 in. petioles 3-4 in. long, pinnae 8-jugate in subopposite pairs, petio- 

 lules 1 in., segments f-1 in. by |'-| in. lobes shallow. Flowers f in. Capsules lj in, 

 long. 



Perhaps nearest to C. ophiocarpa but with larger flowers and very different 

 foliage and fruits.
