34 D. Prain — Some additional Fumariaceae. [Xo. J, 



Stems 4-6 in. not exceeding radical leaves. Flowers \ in, winged very li'^e those 

 of C. meifolia but with a much larger spur, which is more like that of G. dubia. In 

 foliage this much resembles C. conspersa Maxim, which has however very different 

 flowers. 



Mr. Maximowicz quotes Dr. Watt as the original collector of the species. This is 

 a mistake arising from Mr. Ellis the actual collector, having nsed field tickets 

 supplied him by Dr. Watt, with Dr. Watt's name left nnobliterated. The matter 

 is not of much moment, but is mentioned in case the citation should lead to dubiety 

 on the part of any one unacquainted with the actual circumstances. 



33. (sub 10.) Coeydalis Clarkei Prain; medium, tufted, diffuse, 

 glaucescent, glabrous; radical leaves oblong 4-5-jugately pinnate, ulti- 

 mate lobules few large decurrent acute ; stem simple, oauline leaves 4 in 



2 subopposite pairs ; racemes oblong dense many-fld., flowers ligbt yellow 

 subvertical, outer petals winged the wing of the upper extending half 

 way down the straight obtuse spur; capsule very broadly ovate, obtuse.

Stems 10 in. Eadical leaves 6-8 in. petioles 3 in. vaginate, cauline leaves 2-3 in.

The foliage of this species recalls that of G. Moorcroftiana which it also resem- 

 bles in having at times branches in the region of the inflorescence ; one of Dr, 

 Falconer's Alimalikimat specimens is so branched. Bat it differs in having its stem 

 leaves, in all the specimens, subopposed in 2 pairs; its fruits moreover are very 

 different, being much shorter and broader and being obtuse instead of acute. Its 

 very broad flowers are almost identical with .those of G. elegans with which, in the 

 Flora of British India, though not in the Flora Indica, it has 'been associated. Its 

 altogether dissimilar leaves, very differently disposed, make it however impossible to 

 treat it as a variety of that species. 



•°>4. ( — .) Corydaus Franchetiana Prain; radical leaves numer- 

 ous 2-pinnatisect, segments lanceolate, cauline leaves alternate numerous 

 passing into bracts ; raceme terminal many-fld. ; bracts broad lower 

 3-5-fid., hardly equalling the very long pedicels. 



Eastern Himalaya ; Chumbi ; at Sham Chen, Dungboo ! 



Stem 10-16 in. rather stout, flexuous, 5-10-leaved ; radical leaves 6-S in. long 

 petiole 4 in. long, lamina 1-1 i in. across, pinnae 2— 4-paired snb-orbicu 1 ar J in. across 

 lobes 2-3-jugate, ultimate segments oblong-lanceolate acute ; radical leaves pinnati- 

 partite, petioles short, winged. Flowers f in. long, yellow with purple tips ; 

 racemes lax, 4 in. long; in one specimen axillary racemes occur in the axils of the 



3 uppermost stern leaves ; bracts 1 in., pedicels 1 \ in. long. Posticous petal vaulted, 

 acute, nearly as long as the slender spur. Pedicels recurved in fruit, capsules 



mmature. 



Very near the preceding species, but distinguished by its nnmerous scattered 

 stem-leaves and its flowers with uncrested petals. 



35. (sub 14.) Corydalis Hookeri Prain ; medium, diffusely 

 branching, stems numerous ascending ; radical leaves numerous 2-pin-
