28. (sub IS.) Cortdalis geraniifolia H. f. Sf T. Flor. Ind. 2G9 

 (1855); stem sub-erect leafy branched, leaves deltoid decompound, racemes 

 terminal simple or sparingly branched, bracts all large leafy ovate-acute 

 laciniate or only 3-fid rarely entire, spur very slender longer than the 

 lamina, incurved at the tip. C. chaerophylla H.f.SfT. Flor. Brit. 

 Ind. i. 126 (1872) nee DC. 



Sikkim Himalaya, frequent, 8-9,000 feet Hooker ! Thomson ! 

 Clarke ! etc. 



Very near C. chaerophylla, with which it is associated in the Flora of British 

 India, but with very different bracts and flowers ; the bracts of G. chaerophylla being 

 all (including the lowest) small while those of this species are all large. The spur 

 is here much longer and is incurved at the end in place of being, as it is in 

 C. chaerophylla, straight or recurved from the middle. No intermediates occur. 



29. (11.) Cortdalis Govaniana Wall. 



30. (10.) Corydalis elegans Wall. 



Recent collections of this species are : — Near the Nipchang glacier, 

 Darma, 15-16,000 feet, Duthie n. 2710 ! Ralam Valley, 14-15,000 feet, 

 Duthie n. 2711 ! Kutti Yangti Valley, 15,000 feet and Lebung Pass, 

 16-17,000 feet, Duthie n. 5322 ! 



The species seems strictly confined to Kamaon. The plant from Deotsu added 

 to the species in the Flor. Brit. Ind., but not included in the earlier account of the 

 Flora Indica, belongs to a very distinct species. 



31. (12.) Corydalis tibetica H.f.fyT. 



Mr. Duthie's n. 11,933 from Shingo Valley, Baltistan, on rocks at 10-11,000 feet 

 may be only a lax state of this species but may equally well prove specifically 

 distinct. The same indefatigable collector's n. 11,8-18 from Marpu Nullah, Baltistan, 

 at 11—12,000 feet has somewhat different foliage from the types of 0. tibetica ; it also 

 has uncrested outer petals. But this is the case with Dr. Thomson's specimens of 

 C. tibetica issued in Herb. Ind. Or H.f.SfT. T. and with Mr. Duthie's n. 12005 from 

 Srttpur Nullah, Baltistan at 12-13,000 feet. Oar other Calcutta and Saharanpur 

 examples are crested as described in Flora of British India. 



32. ( — . ) Corydalis Duthiei Maxim. Flor. Tangut. 49, t. 25. fig. 

 12-17 ; medium, tufted, diffuse, green, glabrous ; radical leaves oblong 

 4-5-jugately pinnate, ultimate lobules numerous, small, ovate-acute; 

 stems simple leafy ; racemes ovoid dense many-fid. ; flowers yellow 

 subvertical, outer petals winged, the wing of upper extending as far as 

 tip of the straight conical spur slightly shorter than lamina.
