only i as long as style 5 fruit oblong 8-9 seeded, twice as long as persistent style, 

 sharply deflexed and buried amongst the bracts by a sharp curvature of the much 

 elongated pedicel; seeds reniform- orbicular, minutely puncticulate, strophiolate. 

 Eesembles generally 0. mucronifera Maxim, and C. Boweri Hemsl. but differs 

 from the former in having petioles much broader than its leaf-segments, from the 

 latter in having its leaves equally ternate. Like 0. mucronifera it differs also from 

 C. Boiceri in not having its leaf-segments, even when mucronate, which they by no 

 means always are, prolonged into a setaceous tip. From both species C, Hendersonii 

 differs iu having flowers three times as large and seeds three times as numerous. 



19. ( — .) Corydalis Boweri Hemsl. Joum. Linn. Soc. xxx, 108 ; 

 stem short breaking into diffuse csespitose branches from the base, 

 leaves very long petioled primarily 3-sect, lateral segments short-stalked 

 3-partite, terinmal long-stalked 2-jugate pinnate, ultimate lobes linear- 

 lanceolate terminating in a very long setaceous tip ; racemes congested 

 few-fid., flowers almost hidden among the large rhomboid flabellate- 

 multifid setaceo-mucronulate bracts.

Glaucous ; rootstock cylindric T 3 „ in. diam. 2 to 3 in. or more in length ; stems 

 2-3 in. ; radical leaves numerous, with flattened winged petioles 2 in. long A in. 

 across at length disappearing, petiolules £ in., ultimate lobules narrowly spathulate 

 and ending in a long setaceous tip. Flowers yellow \ in., sepals small laciniate, per- 

 sistent ; spur slightly incurved rather longer than upper lip which is uncrested or 

 has only a slight crest near middle; ovary oval 4-5-ovuled two-thirds length of style; 

 fruit oblong usually 2-seeded, twice as long as persistent style, sharply deflexed 

 and buried amongst the bracts by an abrupt curvature of the apex of the somewhat 

 elongated pedicel ; seeds strophiolate. 



Except for the longer spur and the much longer style, this in flower much 

 resembles, and in fruit almost repeats the characters of G. mucronifera. The foliage, 

 however, is very different, more resembling that of 0. Hendersonii though the 

 leaves differ in not being equally ternate and - in having long setaceous tips, while 

 the flowers are one-third the size of the flowers of G. Hendersonii.
